Review Summary
2019-11-06T19:00:00
This is a top quality product designed to get the best photos possible in all lighting conditions. The quick manual focus ring is very useful to sharpen images when lighting conditions are not perfect. Fits and works nicely with the a992 camera body. Expensive at £1899 but then you get the quality and the photographs produced will be worth it over time. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the weight and bulk. It is a lot heavier than my previous Sony lens and the camera with new lens fitted does not fit properly into the Sony camera bag

Great lens and sharp. It is built solid too.

I bought this lens used and use on a Sony A900 and occasionally an A580. My primary reason for buying it was the 24mm end. I needed a decent wide angle. After a lot of testing I am sorry to report that this copy is very soft at all apertures at 24mm. Other focal lengths all have their "sweet spots" but 24mm doesn't. Very disappointing, to say the least.

Loving this lens after switching from Canon to Sony I purchased this lens about 2 months ago and it’s very sharp

The autofocus on the lens is extremely fast, accurate, and quiet. Build quality is exceptional, the lens feels solid but is also very heavy because of it. If you usually crop your images in postproduction then you don't need to worry about this, but I found that there was a significant amount of Vignetting at f2.8 in bright sunlight. For a lens that is over $2,000, I'm not sure I would recommend it.

This lens is being used on my a99II and I can't say enough about the razor sharp images the pair produce. Having tried Sigma and Tamron equivalents, there is no reason to go with any other option. The Tamron is sharp but fails to make use of the Sony's AF-D (Hybrid Phase AF). It's solid and very well built and I look forward to many years of service from it. It cost more, but in the long run, it's well worth it to me.

This lens is spot on, super sharp when stopped down to 4.5-5.6 its perfect. at 2.8 its pretty good, but i have never seen a perfect lens wide open. I shoot loads of events meaning quality matters, it has a stong built, pretty heavy but it sits nicly on the bodt. I don't pixel peep (that much) but this is substantially better then the sigma 24-70. Overall paired with the a99ii this is my most used and best lens!

I have Sony cameras since the days of Cybershot and now have stuck with it all the way through to Alpha 99ii. Taking my pictures more serious than ever, I see no reason to change other that there is no magazine support and I have to seek out people like Gary Fong or Tony Northrup to keep my right at times.

Best lense ever and the only one that you need

SSM motor broke within 16 months of purchase after I changed out battery. The repair shop refused to fix it and said the motor should have lasted 10 years. Frustrating that the lense won't allow manual focus when the motor broke because the lense won't set the f-stop.

I absolutely love the image quality when I shoot with this lens. You can't go wrong with Zeiss paired with a Sony body. I would highly recommend this lens.

A perfect companion to the Alpha99, a weighty piece of kit but that's the trade off for the quality. This is now my standard lens.

Its compact dimensions, dust and moisture resistance and light weight ensure this Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is versatile enough to take anywhere.
Zoom with prime lens performance
The popular ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F2.8 zoom has been refined for even better performance. This lens is already widely regarded as being more like a prime lens than a zoom in terms of image quality, but the new edition further reduces ghosting for a notable improvement in clarity. Lens processing has also been revised for faster subject tracking, and it is dust and moisture resistant.
