April fools! Right guys?... Right?... Am I right?

I predict the new 70mm is going to be insanely sharp. The old model is already a favorite. I already have the Voigtlander 65mm f/2 APO though... GearAcquisitionSyndrome will be kicking in soon...

I was going to say "Take my money!" but 62.5 inches seems a bit short, eh?

Only 8 bit 422 video output. Darn.

The 90mm looks good, but the 75mm has a whole lot of longitudal chromatic aberration (purple and green in out of focus areas) for $12,800!

This is an old thread, but yes, this lens is something special.  Probably the best lens you can mount on any Sony E mount camera. I feel sorry for the people who scoff at this lens.  They're ...

It's incredible what good software can do.  I don't know what I'd do without Capture One, for example. It's also incredible that the big companies (Sony, Canon, Nikon) can't create adequate ...

Nope it's real, but the good news is that Zeiss has a tradition of 21mm, 25mm, and 28mm in sets. So even though this new Loxia is a 25mm, that doesn't mean a 28mm isn't coming.  I will be buying both!

I have the Canon 35mm f/1.4LII, and although at f/2 it is very impressive, looking at the RAW samples of the Samyang 35mm 1.4 FE makes me think you should AT LEAST try it out, and/or take a look ...

You're right about the JPEG, but in Capture One Pro, the purple on the boy and the green in the background is gone. Purple longitudal on the water is minimal, not to mention the sharpness is in a...

I have the Canon 35mm f/1.4LII on the Sony with an adapter, and I'm VERY impressed with the image quality/sharpness of this Samyang/Rokinon, judging from the RAW files. It looks like it might even...

Dear Leica: F#ck you!

Everyone knows Zeiss, Voigtlander, Nikon, Canon, and Sigma are better at doing what you have claimed to do best all these years.

You can't match the performance of even a...

These 80MP jpegs are much, much worse looking than even a good 20MP FF file that has been processed from RAW. Not good at all, IMO.

To add a different perspective, I think the best environmental portraits lenses are actually 28mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4 lenses. I'm waiting for Sony or Canon to come out with a good 28mm 1.4.  The new ...

Nice attempt at being controversial. However, the Canon 35mm 1.4LII, by comparison to this lens, has almost zero purple/green fringing, and it only costs $1,649.

Nice try though.

Wow, I'm seeing a lot of purple and green fringing. I'm very surprised, because the Canon 35mm 1.4LII, one of my favorite lenses ever (for my Sony), is basically an APO lens, free of any fringing....

The best is the Canon 35mm f/1.4LII or Zeiss Milvus 35mm 1.4, however, I would be surprised if the Zeiss beats the Canon.  The Canon seems to be APO. Even with the Metabones adapter, I've been ...

I need way more megapixels.  I'm getting moire with my Canon 35mm 1.4LII at 1.4.  Same with other lenses, especially the outrageously sharp Voigtlander 65mm and Loxia 85mm. Would like about 400MP, ...

I wanted to add that if Sony releases a 135mm 1.8 GM lens, I fear that it might have severe red/cyan fringing, identical to the 85mm 1.4 GM.  If this is the case, the Batis will be the absolute ...

If you don't need auto focus at all, I would strongly suggest you look at the Samyang 135mm f/2. It was my sharpest lens, until I got the Voigtlander 65mm f/2 APO (they're equally impressive). You ...
