I haven't found it to be an issue, but then again I've been shooting at small apertures. Generally the focus ring is pretty stiff and not easy to turn by accident.

Distortion is pretty minimal in my experience...at least relative to the other FE lenses. I haven't find an obvious need to correct it yet.

The annoying thing about the design is actually that its a PITA taking this off of the camera or when taking the rear cap off...because the whole lens basically rotates. There's a tiny sliver between the aperture ring and focus ring you can grip, but I was having a lot of trouble changing this lens out y'day.

The same thing happens with my Loxia 35mm. I guess its just part of the price you pay for a small compact profile lens.

Agree! The Loxia design is a nice design overall, but it is a PITA to mount / demount on the camera. That tiny sliver of lens body between the moveable aperture ring and focus ring is very hard to grip under some conditions. As you say, "...the price you pay for a small compact profile lens."

I think I might sell my canon 35 for the loxia 21. Good idea? The original 35L is sharp but I'm not fond of the flaring and CA.

35L II is stunningly sharp with minimal CA.

Don't know if your plan is good, but I like it. Loxia 21 has been a major wish list item for me.

Carlo says it's hard to take off the camera, so maybe I should buy one and turn my a7R II into a custom 21mm RX1R.

Haha. Yeah that would be very cool. Thanks David. I'm also interested in the 35L II. Really hard choice.

Great image Carlo. I think it could look like an architectural rendering of the building.

A moody one. I love this Minolta Rokkor 50mm because it's in lightroom and even here in POTN.
