Pros: Sharpness, true colors, very quiet

Cons: Excessive New Cost

Opinion: I state that I would never have spent 1200 euros for a new one, I found an offer equal to the new one at 500 euros and I bought it. Being a lover of fixed cameras and using the 35mm on ff, I decided to mount it on the Sony A6400 so with the crop factor it became a 37mm. The construction is solid and well made, the final file it releases is great with real colors as I like them. I've read that some have complained about the lens hood, personally it's not a problem as it doesn't imply on the final result. The only sore flaw is the cost of the new one, which is around 1200 euros, which seem a bit excessive to me.

Pros: Uniformity to all diaphragms, lightness, silent AF, little focus breathing

Cons: Design, uncomfortable fire dial, 24mm real

Opinion: Used on A7r2, I'm not a fan of the 24mm preferring the 28mm (the difference in my eyes is a lot) but on the Sony And system the only alternative is the native 28mm if you don't want huge lenses. The real focal point is 24mm to infinity. The best value is the uniformity of the lens removed the vignette, already at full opening the drop in detail at the edges is really very small and closing it basically resets and allows flexibility even in cutting the image. The lens is light and silent. I don't like the design of the lens, it loses in functionality, making it cylindrical instead of tulip would have made it thinner by adopting slightly smaller filters. The focus dial in manual is not direct is small and uncomfortable on a tactile level, especially if you also use it for video. Focus breathing is present, but reduced especially among the functional focal points.

Pros: Sharpness of colors af quick everything you need for a lens to be called top class

Cons: I didn't find the lampshade maybe but it's a negligible detail

Opinion: used on the Sony A7 III A7 RIII and A9 has all the cards in order to be called top class. Almost embarrassing sharpness on the set portrait, af speed, weight and extra size recommended as at the price who chooses to buy a zeiss lens knows what he is computating and is definitely worth all his money up to the last penny

Pros: * A date to be defined *

Cons: Lens hood shameful, embarrassing, offensive to buyers and to the Zeiss story

Opinion: I have no words. I got here today, and I thought the Batis series was a "Milvus" for Sony. Never error was bigger. The lens hood of the Milvus is granitic, in metal and with Velvet inside. This is a piece of ignoble plastic, without internal knurling or anything that can absorb the light. In fact, I think they do more damage with the lens hood inserted than by taking it off. Given the selling price is hallucinating, and I consider it really offensive to the entire Zeiss story. A decent lens hood how much would rise the price? But even if he had at least velvet, or toh an internal knurling. But so it looks like one of those super cheap Chinese lens hoods from €3. Even the plastic is of a low quality, as opposed to the body that is of a very pleasant metal. I don't know if I'll keep it, it's really disturbing a similar detail, staggering to say the least. UPDATE: A lens All in all pleasant, quite compact and with an image quality in the end of the accounts satisfying. Whether or not the required figure is relative, also because true alternatives for now there are none, apart from the Sony GM that costs a 30% more. Objectively the price difference is there and is widely deserved, so do your assessments.

Pros: TOP quality, very light, nice to look at.

Cons: Only the lens hood is really bad, for the rest I can't find other cons.

Opinion: A spectacular Target. we'll See in time if the OLED that shows the distance of the focus will last over time, and has a really bad lens hood that you don't expect in a lens of such stature. For the rest is really well built, beautiful to behold (of course for me) and the optical quality really very high. On Sony A7r2 is really a pleasure to use, returns a file with a hallucinating amount of details, well contraused and colors always beautiful and full. Its cost is well-represented to its Quality.

Pros: Light, sharpness, color zeiss, display

Cons: nothing

Opinion: I'm trying on Sony A7 III and is truly a bomb, you have colors that are nothing short of spectacular, zero flares, distortion practically nothing, ultra sharp even at the edges, and then is really light and well sized. Don't you ever would remove from the camera, I don't know what more to a fixed focal length 24-25 mm. Certainly the price is not for everyone, though a lens like that pays off with unimaginable satisfaction. Sturdy construction, gives you the feeling of professional in all respects.

Pros: Outstanding optical quality, OLED display is very useful in that street in landscape for complete control dell'iperfocale

Cons: Virtually none

Opinion: I was one of the first to have them, fortunately, they ranked even when they had just announced. I have not repented, exceptional mechanical construction and extremely light, the optical quality is that I already knew all the Zeiss, open and never underexposed shadows, colors Zeiss. The OLED display is exceptionally useful in many occasions, I think the future on the next optical, the sun perhaps in a bit little leggibile.rnLi recommend it to everyone.
