About this item
Highlights
- A standard zoom lens is a lens in which the focal length varies, unlike a prime or fixed lens. A zoom lens is one that maintain (or regains) focus even with focal length of the subject-matter changes.
- Zoom lenses, such as this, provide the user with a convenient, go-to lens of variable focal length.Constant f/4 ApertureConstant f/4 aperture at all focal lengths means that the user can zoom and shoot at any aperture without having to worry about changes in exposure settings or depth of field, concentrating on the image rather than technical details.
- As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution.
- ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration.
- Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane.

Compact and Good Price
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.

a7iii with a single lens, this is my go-to
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.

Great for its size.
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.

Great lens.
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.

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

All round lens great for travelling
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.

Jury's out.
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.

Nice light lens, with very good image quality.
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.

zeiss is always good
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.

Very High Quality Build, Sharp, Quick Auto Focus.
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.

Love this lens. Sharp, great contrast!
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.

Excellent lens
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.

Excellent but not perfect.
After using this lens for a few times, I find it's quality is amazing, with good contrast and smooth to use zooming operation also takes stunning photos . It is also light and not too large to carry as it's my reason to buy this good Zeiss lens. But there are compromise that distortion contribute to the edges of the frame from 24mm and colourisation is much more exaggerate. I have used Canon 24-70 f4 USM, as it simply oozes quality to beat this Zeiss in terms of clarity and quality if I have to choose. Overall I'm happy with it and will keep it because it's a Zeiss.
