What are the alternatives to the zeiss loxia 85mm f 2 4?

The Loxia 85mm f/2.4 page on this site lists the cameras it fits, not other lenses, so I can't point you to a like-for-like swap from there. For an 85mm-style portrait lens, my portraits guide covers the closest options. The 85mm f/1.8 is the classic full-frame portrait lens, with flattering perspective and soft backgrounds. If you want a little more reach, the 135mm or 70-200mm f/2.8 gives tight headshots and strong blur outdoors.

If you're happy with manual focus and a similar look, I'd also look at the other Zeiss Loxia primes: the Loxia 50mm f/2 and the Loxia 25mm f/2.4. For a general starting point, the lenses guide suggests a fast standard prime like the 50mm f/1.8 on full frame.
