Description — Zeiss 25mm f/2.4
The ZEISS Loxia 25mm f/2.4 is a manual focus, full-frame wide-angle prime lens designed exclusively for the Sony E mount. With a fixed 25mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.4, it delivers a true wide-angle perspective well suited to landscape, architectural, and environmental photography where deliberate framing and precise focus control are priorities. The lens weighs 393g and accepts 52mm front filters, keeping the overall footprint manageable for a full-frame optic.
As a prime lens in the wide-angle range, it offers a single, committed focal length rather than zoom versatility — a trade-off that many photographers find worthwhile for the optical focus a fixed design allows. There is no autofocus and no image stabilization, placing full control in the photographer's hands. The Sony E mount integration means direct compatibility with Sony's mirrorless camera lineup, and the full-frame lens format ensures the image circle fully covers full-frame sensors without corner degradation.
The 52mm filter thread is a practical, widely supported size for accessory filters.
