Shooting Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 + Sony A7S III


I wanted to make a video highlighting the Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 lens. It's a fully manual lens with durable metal construction and is designed with Sony video shooters in mind with its de-click aperture feature. The lens is compact and has a beautiful look and rings reminiscent of the old Zeiss and Leica manual lenses. Its a soft lens, so where it doesn't necessarily fit best for use in sharp photography applications, it shines in helping create filmic, cinematic video at 4K resolution. If you're a Sony video shooter this is a must-have lens! The only thing I didn't like about this lens is that is has a significant amount of "focus breathing" where there is a zooming effect when pulling focus. This isn't ideal, but the other features make it a wonderful lens for my kit.
