Offering a normal field of view with an impressively compact design, the ZEISS Loxia 50mm f/2 is a flexible prime for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, well-suited for a range of subjects from portraits to landscapes. Utilizing a classic symmetrical Planar optical design, this lens is capable of achieving well-corrected, sharp imagery with controlled aberrations and distortions. An enhanced ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to significantly reduce ghosting and flaring for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in difficult lighting conditions.

question
How is the lens on an A6000 (if anyone has ever tried it before)? I know that fitting this onto an APS-C makes it equivalent to a 75 mm but how is the image quality on an A6000. I'm considering getting one and then upgrading camera bodies later. Thanks
Zeiss lenses are some of the highest quality glass available. This lens will give you an excellent performance on a Sony A6000.

question
How do I mount this on the Sony FS7 Camcorder? It just doesn't lock in, it only spins less than an inch then it stops fully, unable to spin any further. It just doesn't lock in, no matter what I do, they are both E-Mount, this shouldn't be a problem....?
The Loxia lens should mount to the Sony FS7 without issue. If you are not able to get it to mount please contact our customer service dept. to see about an exchange.

question
Has anyone used this lens or the Loxia 35mm f/2 in combination with a matte box and follow focus? They seem too short to use both and have a comfortable rig setup. I would hesitate to purchase them simply for that reason.
I do not have direct use using the lens with a follow focus or a matte box on the lens at the same time. The lens is on the smaller side but there are many follow focus that should work fine with it. And as for a matte box to be used at the same time with a follow focus a rig in most cases will need to be used. This way you have more versatility on positioning of the matte box.

have the Loxia 21. Its Killer. Can I use the 50 as a macro lens?
The ZEISS Loxia 2/50 is not a macro style lens, since the minimum focus distance is set at 17.7" and the image magnification ratio of 1:6.9. However, the lens can be used with extension tubes to provide close focus capability.

question
If I want to make the exposure at f/8, will I focus the Loxia lens on the Sony A7RII wide open then stop down to f/8 to make the exposure?
Set the aperture to F8 then set your focus.

question
Do I have to use stop down metering?
No, you can meter accurately at any aperture but the only thing bad about the lens is that you have to either manually stop down after focusing or focus at shooting aperture. You still get full EXIF.
