image courtesy of Lonely SpeckI recently acquired a Sony a7 II after owning several NEX cameras over the years. During my research to plan for future lens purchases, I came across an unexpected review of the Sony Zeiss 55mm F1.8 Sonnar T* FE ZA by the Lonely Speck.
While a 55mm lens might not be a standard focal length for traditional astrophotography, Ian Norman has created some beautiful high megapixel images with this lens on his Sony a7S II. Astrophotography performance is a unique way to judge optical performance because of how demanding it can be, but the Sony Zeiss 55mm handles the task with ease. You can read more about how the lens performed on Lonely Speck.

The Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Version III Sony FE mount is now shipping to major retailers. I loved this lens when I reviewed it for my M, it was very sharp and well corrected for the price. If you’re a fan of shooting wide and the 10mm/12mm are too wide for you the 15mm might be a good option for the price.

Cameraquest is currently taking preorders for the Voigtlander 10/5.6 Heliar-Hyper Wide and Voigtlander 12mm F5.6 Aspherical III in Sony and M mount. The Voigtlander 10/5.6 Heliar-Hyper Wide is scheduled to ship in may, but the Voigtlander 12mm F5.6 Aspherical III does not have a ship date yet. The sample images on the page are very promising and I have had great experience with wide Voigtlander lenses in the past.
