Is the zeiss loxia 25mm f 2 4 worth buying used?

Yes, I think it's a good candidate for buying used. The Loxia 25mm f/2.4 is a manual-focus prime for Sony E mount, so there's no autofocus to wear out, and it fits everything from the original Sony a7 through to the newest full-frame bodies. On APS-C bodies like the Sony a6400 it frames like about 38mm, which is a useful wide-normal view.

The main thing to check is the seller's condition and whether the lens is complete. Don't expect image stabilisation: it has none, so you'll rely on your body's stabilisation, if it has any. For the rest of the buying process, see buying used, and budget for a new genuine battery with any used body you pick up.
