The Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 Lens for Sony E-Mount Cameras helps deliver stunning images despite its compact size. Built with seven lens elements in seven groups, it allows a minimum object distance of 0.8 metres for macro photography. Likewise, you can take advantage of the manual focus ring with 220-degree rotating angle to clearly render your subjects. Videographers will enjoy its De-Click function for smooth and silent adjustments. Meanwhile, you can make this a cine-style lens by using the high-quality, aluminium lens gears. Get a quick read of the lens settings per image through the EXIF data and enhance the set-up by attaching accessories to its M52 x 0.75 filter thread.

Product Features in Detail

Optimized ZEISS Sonnar® design
The new ZEISS Loxia 2.4/85 has been designed for digital sensors. Based on an optimized ZEISS Sonnar design, it has seven lens elements in seven groups. “With the ZEISS Loxia 2.4/85, we have managed to develop a well-rounded and new interpretation of the original ZEISS Sonnar optical design that meets all the requirements of digital photography and videography,” continued Casenave. The lens has a minimum object distance of 0.80 meters and a manual focus ring with a rotation angle of 220 degrees, enabling the subtlest variations of focusing. The large aperture of f/2.4 combined with the high-quality optical design ensures an appealing bokeh. The electronic interface transfers both lens data (EXIF) and focus movements, and activates the magnification function of the camera if desired by the user.

De-Click Function
With the well-known De-Click function of the ZEISS Loxia lenses, the optics company is also targeting videographers. The De-Click function allows to mechanically deactivate the click stops on the aperture ring — a condition for silent and smooth adjustments of the aperture. As a result, the ZEISS Loxia 2.4/85 is also an attractive lens for video cameras that have an E mount, such as the Sony PXW-FS7 and PXW-FS5. A robust metal barrel, the filter diameter of M52 (which is identical across all focal lengths) and protection against penetration of dust and spray onto the lens mount complete the entire package. In addition, the external diameter, which is uniform across all ZEISS Loxia lenses, simplifies film shoots.

Zeiss Lens Gears
ZEISS Loxia lenses can also be used with a follow focus system. Made of high-quality aluminum with a hardened surface coating, the ZEISS Lens Gears are slid onto each respective lens and, through simple mounting, attached to the focus ring of the lens by turning two rings that each go in the opposite direction. Supplemented by a follow focus system, precise focusing is therefore possible and ZEISS Loxia lenses become endowed with similar features as a full-scale cine lens. The ZEISS Lens Gear Rings in the sizes mini (62 - 69mm, 60 - 67mm with GumGum) fit the ZEISS Loxia lenses.

Precise focusing
With its large rotation for precise focusing, the lens elements move smoothly as it supports the intuitive interaction with the focal plane. Manual focusing is also made easy by the precise engraving in meter and feet while the depth of focus scale provide additional support for manually focusing. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder.

Distortion-free optics
Dramatic perspectives and a view from extraordinary image angles – ZEISS lenses open up new composition possibilities. Distortion would disrupt the composition because straight lines, whose image does not go through the image center, would be reproduced with a curved shape.  This annoying effect is accordingly and largely compensated through elaborate optical designs at all focal lengths.

Full metal casing
Tangible quality that holds its value is what qualifies ZEISS lenses for decades of hard use. A precision-engineered full-metal casing, grippy focus and aperture rings made of metal, and a tough front bayonet and filter screw guarantee stunning photographic results. A special sealing ring on the bayonet also protects the interface between the camera and the lens.
