Pros: Build quality, colors, blurred, focus

Cons: Important Weight

Opinion: Passing from APSC to full frame (from a 77.2 to A99) I simultaneously took a used specimen of this lens. Specimen that has made so many kilometers, devoid of lens hoods and with the tires of the nuts to be replaced... But the quality was evident in the views that I took in the following days. Passing after the portraiture I realized some problems in the surrender: Fortunately a good internal cleaning has solved the problem! Now that I can fully appreciate the quality of the lens, are taken from its colors and blurred, resistance to adverse light conditions (also thanks to the original lens hood that I took dearly at Amazon), although the important weight does not recommend a use Prolonged and above all requires reduced shutter speeds, or you are likely to move your hand and have photos moved. Dialogue beautifully with the A99, the focus is always fast and accurate. Although as said is not a light lens or "practice" (size and weight require patience and care in pulling it out and storing it, not really suitable for a tourist or long walk), I took her with me to Athens and around fairs , and it gave me great satisfaction, worth some sacrifice!

Pros: Image quality Reliability in difficult situations, robustness and construction

Cons: Maybe a bit heavy, but I admit that I personally do not see it as a defect!

Opinion: I have it for a few days, and I have to say that my A99 II is like a newcomer! Fast AF that does not make you regret the second version, reliable and robust! A must! A lens to always carry if traveling !! Someone might find it heavy, it is not a featherweight but reliability has its price in both economic and volumetric terms !! The straconsiglio !!!

Pros: Optical quality and construction to very high levels, excellent af

Cons: A bit of distortion at the focal more 'wide angles, price is not exactly popular

Opinion: Classic zoom quality standards for ff, a lens that you can not 'give up, the Zeiss optical quality has a very good clear in every situation, durable backlit, sins a slight distortion at 24mm nothing problematic and all in all normal for wide-angle zoom but at this level you look tutto.rnLa build quality is of reference, a lens made to last. The af is fast and very preciso.rnCosta nearly 2000 euro ... there are many, but this lens and an a99 behind are a great tool.

Pros: Good resolution, fast AF, accurate, wide-angle silenzioso.rnOttima management even at full aperture, where only a trickle of deformazioen disturbing. rncolori and contrast typical zeiss. unique! rnpiccole chicce as the metal lens hood fleece internally they understand the level of this lens is lente.rnla tropical conditions.

Cons: The construction is excellent! both metal and glass. but this re reflected in the high weight. rnCome each product ZEISS, even here the price is remarkable. but it's worth it ...

Opinion: Lens for truly exceptional performance, colors, speed AF.rnè THE lens a99. irreplaceable. rndevo say that I have found the limits, even using the whole apertura.rnrnse really want to nit-pick, the maximum focal length and maximum aperture, you lose a bit of definition, but nothing sensational. Then, just close one stop to return to the values ??eccelsi.rnrnMi really liked those little details like the metal lens hood fleece inside, the little bag made of genuine leather, soft textured rubber ferrules ... rnun pleasure to hold in hand. ..

Pros: Sharp focus quickly and silently

Cons: Price

Opinion: Target offers very clear and bright images with very beautiful colors, saturated and real equality 'focal length in comparison to other goals of lower value at high iso images you have less noisy and the cost' but high quality 'is not discussed engine focus and 'precise and fast, even the command dials are very comfortable.
