In 2023, I reported that the Zeiss Loxia lenses all had problems with their apertures automatically changing and shifting on Sony cameras. Despite this, I’m still dreaming about a time when they were functioning and when I reviewed the Zeiss Loxia 50mm f2. That lens was beautiful in so many different ways, and as I look back on my review, I realized how nice the image quality was and is. I’m so infatuated by it that I went to my camera bag with Sony gear in it, mounted the 35mm f2 to a camera, and hoped that the problem automatically fixed itself. Alas, that wasn’t the case. So why am I still in love with such a functionally flawed product?
