Introduction I got a chance to compare few 85mm lenses on my Sony A7II and A7r cameras. This comparative review took much more time to complete than I expected and meanwhile another two interesting rivals hit the market - new Sigma 85/1.4 Art and Sony FE 85/1.8.

Sony A99 MII, company new flagship DSLR is about to hit shops. Sony however announced, that because of an unexpected demand, first batches will be of limited quantity and most probably won't cover all pre-orders. Meanwhile, on WEB forums, we can read different opinion about this announcement, including suspicion about faking the "high demand" part,…
I already published Loxia 85/2.4 hands-on in the Photokina coverage article, but it deserves its dedicated space, so here it is, slightly reorganized and with some new content. I had a short interview with Mr. Cristophe Casenave, senior product manager in Zeiss and expert on weather sealing. VBL:Aren't you afraid that Batis and Loxia are…
