Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar 24-70 mm f/2.8 T* SSM

 

image resolution by f/2.8 and at 70 mm focal length could have been better.

Perhaps a comparison between the tested lens and the Canon EF 24-70 mm f/2.8L USM, a lens renowned among the professionals which fared well in our tests, will be a good summary of the Zeiss 24-70 mm f/2.8. It turns out the Zeiss is practically not...

Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm f/2.8 ZA SSM (Sony SAL-2470Z) - Review / Lab Test Report

 

The Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm f/2.8 ZA SSM produced outstanding performance figures in our APS-C test but it's not quite as good when used within its native full format scope. It is, of course, still able of delivering an outstanding center...

Sony Vario Sonnar T* 24-70mm f/2.8 ZA Lens

 

Co-developed with Carl Zeiss?, the SAL2470Z model is a wide angle 24-70mm zoom lens with a large f/2.8 aperture, ideally suited for discerning landscape and portrait photography. Constructed of 17 elements in 13 groups with two aspheric elements and...

The SAL2470Z lens excels in difficult lighting circumstances thanks to its f/2.8 aperture, which remains constant throughout the focal length range. The nine-blade, circular iris is especially useful in controlling background defocusing in portrait and...

Great general photography lens

 

"I've had this lens only a short while, but it has been proving its utility and flexability since day one. I was fortunate enough to be able to use a friend's lens for some time before I bought my own. Fast, silent focus is a very nice feature in...

Mostly everything

You must pay for what you get

Great general purpose lens

 

"This is a wonderful lens. It causes minor vignetting on A900 camera, however this only happens at certain aperture settings. After all, all lenses, no matter what quality will cause some level of vignetting at certain apertures. Most pictures I've...

Solid metal finish, bright

Heavy

A very nice lens, A Joy to Use

 

"This Zeiss Lens is a great 24-70mm lens. It's as good as the Nikon, or Canon 24-70mm f/2.8. It produces sharp, contrasty images at every focal lengths - even wide open. The SSM is super fast & quiet. Better than Nikon or Canon. A nice heavy lens...

Great color, sharp, contrasty photos

Brokeh, at 70mm f/2.8, is usable. But it's not great
