[Nick De Marco]

Final part of my review of the wonderful Zeiss 50 Loxia for Sony A7 on my blog now - include comparison with Sony 55mm f1.8 FE

Thanks for the review. Very little reason to get the Loxia instead of the FE I think, with both being restricted to e-mount and priced similarly. Why give up on AF on a AF camera?

I have the Sony 55mm f/1.8 FE. It's hard to beat.

would be nice, though, if the 55 had manual aperture ring.

I have been following the rangefinderchronicles.blogspot. Nick. Always interesting and lovely pictures.

Keep gong please.

would be nice, though, if the 55 had manual aperture ring.

If Sony released a Loxia-style, fully manual 55FE, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I don't love the draw of the Zeiss Loxia 50, but I really want the manual focus and aperture.
