Product Reviews

This lens is well built and has excellent optics. While I am sure that the Sony 24-70 GM 2.8 lens is incredible, it is also very large and relatively expensive. The Zeiss 24-70 is much more compact and fits my budget better.

I have been using the product for 4 years and I never leave it in my bag.

I have started carrying my a7iii pretty much everywhere. If I am taking the camera with just one lens the T* FE24-78 is my go-to. Sure it can be a bit limiting but if you don't want to carry all your kit around when you are out for a lunch-time walk this is a brilliant little lens.

I had the 24-70 f 2.8 but damaged my lens. It still works but I destroyed the filter threads. it turns out this f/4 is smaller and works fine. Full frame lenses are expensive. if you dont need the faster f 2.8 this is excellent.

I bought this to replace the 24-70 2.8 that I had for my Canon system, to use for low light theatre photography. I was hoping that the high ISO ability of the Sony sensor would compensate for the loss of one stop, and it did not disappoint.

Crystal clear with minimal chromatic and peripheral aberration- for most situations, as good as a Gmaster!

I bought this for Christmas and I'm so happy I did. I was looking for a wide angle lens, but this was a much better find as it met my wide angle requirements, but also has a Zoom as well. As this is an "all in one" solution really good for everyday trips, much lighter than the telephoto, and great for city breaks or generally trips.

I'm doing photos long time, tested different systems, but only with Sony camera and my first lens Zeiss i get quality that i need. Aperture not a problem with A7C camera

Happy so far. Will not really know until the new year. Solid build and great light collection. Think it is a good choice for an ll round lens. Definitely superior to the cheaper 50mm prime lens.

I've seen a number of 'reviews' saying that this lens is really poor at the edges but either I've got a good example or they have improved the lens over the years as my copy is pretty good. There is some softness at the edges, which doesn't improve by stopping down, but it's not as bad as a lot of other lenses I've used (mainly Nikon F-mount and Olympus M-Zuiko). Overall I would rate image quality at 8/10. The design is nice and simple, with a nice smooth zoom ring. Weather sealing has been great so far.

This lens is recommended if you don't wanna get any Alpha series cameras with the kit lens. It is great as an a rounder, and something to use before upgrading.

Best on everyday, that you're bore to carry many lens. This's the greatest value FE Normal Zoom; Zeiss (logo), weight, material, quality of image and price. :- ) F4 may not good in night time, but with new A7 model, ISO can help lots. Nothing to complain. I love it!! P.S. You can also sell your kit 28-70mm when you have this lens.

At the time I got this I had three alpha bodies. The a99ii , a7iii, and a7Riii. The a7iii came with the 28-70mm kit lens. I had been using the Zeiss 24-70 F2.8 on my a99ii. I tired of switching back and forth with the A mount 24-70 on a LA-EA-4 adapter. I sold the 28-70 and purchased the Zeiss 24-70 F4 E-mount. zI would give the edge to the Zeiss f2.8 but the smaller and lighter f4 has advantages in size and weight. Unless I need the extra f-stops I normally use the f4 on either E-body.

I have used and it’s excellent, I like to recommend to all my friends.

I bought this lens last month just for portrait but I discovered this is the best general purpose lens ever used on A7RIII

I decided that f/2.8 was not necessary for my applications. I also like the size and weight of this lens. It feel very durable and I would compare it favorably to other brands higher end lenses.

One of the most practical and balanced Zeiss zooms around for the FE mount. The lens is a little soft around the edges at the wide-end (24mm) due to optical compromises, but otherwise renders colours and details worthy of its Zeiss badge. The zoom ring is smooth and the AF is near instantaneous. At 426 grams, the lens balances nicely with my small A7II full-frame body. Most of the alternatives with equivalent or larger apertures render the A7II too front-heavy. Pity that my first copy was defective out of the box (the AF motor squeaked), but Sony Malaysia has graciously replaced it with a working copy.

Been with other manufacturers for years but this was the first opportunity to purchase this Vario -Tessar T lens .The quality of photo is so brilliantly noticeable no question that this is a great lens to own

A great option when traveling light is a necessity. Has great Zeiss colors and micro-contrast. Only negative is unsharp corners at the wide end. Stabilization is very effective at all focal lengths.

I purchased this lens at Best Buy. I was reticent because I wanted the more expensive one. I figured it would be better than the kit lens I was using for the last few years. I am not disappointed. I will eventually get the more expensive one but this one does well for the price.

Being a Canon DSLR user I thought I would give mirrorless a try. I recently purchased a Sony A7ii, battery grip & this lens all new, and for less than the price of a Canon R body. I haven't given the lens a proper full on test but so far the shots I have taken, I am very pleased with.

i bought months ago ! due to price affordable and the quality of lense normal below abit !! the colour coating of lense not sharp and poor.

This lens is tiny, sharp & with a super smooth zoom action!

For my copy of this lens, it's able to have the sharpness increased with the smaller aperture. Decent corner to corner sharpnes. The build quality is of metal and feels premium, nice smooth turning when zooming and when using the focus ring. It is light weight and compliments well with the 16-35 F4 Zeiss. It's a keeper in my kit.
