A: Yes these lens gears should work on any of the current Loxia lenses.

Q: 5. Does it come with a de-click tool or we have to buy separately?

A: What is a de-click tool? I guess the answer is no..,

Q: 6. Has anyone used this lens or the Loxia 35mm f/2 in combination with a matte box and follow focus? They seem too short to use both and have a comfortable rig setup. I would hesitate to purchase them simply for that reason.

A: I do not have direct use using the lens with a follow focus or a matte box on the lens at the same time. The lens is on the smaller side but there are many follow focus that should work fine with it. And as for a matte box to be used at the same time with a follow focus a rig in most cases will need to be used. This way you have more versatility on positioning of the matte box.

Q: 7. Will this cap fit on a 52mm Hoya super multicoated filter?

A: Since this is a dedicated lens cap, I would advise going with a universal 52mm lens cap, which will fit on a 52mm Hoya Super HMC Thin Filter: http://bhpho.to/IBf7vy

Q: 8. How good is this camera with a7s? and is it 4k compatible ?

A: How good is the LENS with an A7S ...? In my opinion, it is good for all applications, including video. The Loxia 35/2 and 50/2 are completely compatible with all Sony A7 cameras, including the A7S. The lens is electronically connected to the body, and transmits settings and distance to the camera. The lens is very sharp throughout the image, and has exceptionally low distortion. The diaphram is manually controlled, and can be de-clicked for smooth transitions with video. Focusing is also manual, very smooth and precise with a long throw (135 deg). Manual lenses are preferred for video, and the Loxia is one of the best. I use this lens with an A7ii and A7Rii for both stills and video.

Q: 9. Does the aperture close as you turn the ring (makes manual focus at high f-numbers difficult), or does the aperture only close to the selected size when you press the shutter release (like an SLR)?

A: It closes as you turn the ring. Unlike an slr though you have focus magnify (which can kick in automatically when you turn the ring if you want) and focus peaking, so the manual focussing operation does not require an open aperture to make it easier. With a 35mm lens at smaller apertures there'll be a reasonable depth of field anyway. I always focus at the aperture I am going to use, no issues.

Q: 10. Will this cap fit on a ZEISS Loxia 50mm f/2 Planar T* Sony Mount?

A: Yes, the ZEISS Lens Cap 52mm linked below is compatible with the Loxia 2/50 lens. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/970851-REG/zeiss_2049_549_front_lens_cap_touit.html?sts=pi
