The original idea behind mirrorless cameras was they would be smaller, lighter alternatives to DSLRs due to the differences in technology while providing similar levels of optical performance.  As I’ve noted in many subsequent reviews this idea is often lost, as frequently lenses designed for mirrorless (like the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master) are, if anything, bigger and heavier than their DSLR counterparts.  But Zeiss has managed to design an extremely compact, extremely high performance range for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless) – the Loxia series of lenses.  One of those is the amazingly compact Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2.  This little prime lens will literally fit in the palm of your hand, yet boasts some excellent optical chops.  These galleries will contain a variety of photos of the beautiful lens lens and taken with it.  It has a uniquely artistic rendering that I think a lot of people will appreciate.  Stay tuned for my ongoing coverage and final review!
