Does the Zeiss Loxia 25mm f/2.4 hold up on the 60-megapixel Sony A7R V here in 2023? A diminutive lens, it has high appeal for hiking and similar.

This aperture series from f/2.4 to f/11 along with a 5-frame focus stack at f/9 demonstrates its performance on the demanding 60-megapixel sensor of the A7R V. It also confirms the rearward focus shift and peripheral forward field curvature demonstrated in previous series shot with prior cameras.
