Having had this lens for getting on a a couple of years now and owning the entire Zeiss line up i can honestly state that this lens lives on my camera! For a zoom lens, sharpness is truly amazing as is the colour and tonal range. Shooting a lot live bands in terrible lo-light conditions, one cannot fail to be impressed by the light gathering capabilities of it's wide aperture and the SSM makes short work of keeping up with fast action too!!! Build quality is nothing short of what you would expect from the legendary Zeiss specifications, although weather sealing would be a welcomed addition to any future updates - That said, i've used this lens in many torrential downpours at music festivals, and to the lens's credit it has held up to everything thrown at from rain, ... MoreHaving had this lens for getting on a a couple of years now and owning the entire Zeiss line up i can honestly state that this lens lives on my camera!

If you are going to pay for a top shelf zoom lens, this is the range to splurge on. I tried for weeks to find cheaper options, but ultimately decided that this was going to be the workhorse on my A99. The build quality and image quality have been impressive and as-advertised. The sturdy metal hood is a nice touch. Some reported that the lens is excessively heavy, but it seems very manageable to me on my A99, and I hike with it. One small knock would be the lack of a zoom lock. The lens often extends completely while I hike around with it at my side. I also wish it was environmentally sealed. However, those are small issues. You should bite the bullet and buy this lens if you have a professional Sony body to match. I also splurged on the Sony 75-400G for about the ... MoreIf you are going to pay for a top shelf zoom lens, this is the range to splurge on.

For image quality and usability, this lens has been a much better value. I am a non-traditional professional photographer, primarily taking habitat monitoring photos while hiking or flying for my wildlife consulting business.

The first thing that comes to mind when holding this lens is the epic quality of Carl Zeiss compared to Canon or Nikon. From the lens hood, to the focus/zoom ring action, to the super fast focus and finally cripsy/contrasty image output this lens is marvelous. I'm using this on my Sony A77 and soon A99 and it pairs wonderfully. I also have a SAL70200G for 36-300mm cropped range all @ a solid 2.8 aperture.In my opinion this lens with an A77 is hard to beat for any event coverage such as car shows, exhibits, expos, whatever the case may be this thing can handle it. Of course it can also handle portraits, fashion, landscapes and more.I would recommend this to anyone considering a 24-70 lens. If you can handle the weight/size of this beast then go for it... you will ... MoreThe first thing that comes to mind when holding this lens is the epic quality of Carl Zeiss compared to Canon or Nikon.

I may give up my Canon 5d mk ii / 50L combo and go full Sony... not sure yet!Only con would be that bokeh at 24-35 really isn't anything spectacular but then again 2.8 isn't going to produce that. Higher in the range you can get excellent headshots/portraits with smooth bokeh.

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
Extremely sharp across the entire focal range, great contrast and color. Built like a tank. This is an expensive well made lens that is extremely capable. However there are many lenses that will give good results at a much less expensive ptice.
Extremely well made this 24-70 f2.8 Zeiss is my first "professional" lens that isn't a Nikon or Canon. It compares very well in terms of build and image quality and in use even feels a little better made. It's early days yet as I've only had it for a month so I can't say if image quality is on an even par with those two main competitors but initial impressions are very good - it focuses quickly (on my a99) and images look very sharp. With Sony's built in sensor shift image stabilisation (which also works fantastically) I have a more compact lens than the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 VR, and Canon have nothing to match it.I am very glad I purchased this lens and can highly recommend it.Value for money?

Since the mark 2 version came out this original version is available at a price too good to miss but in general I find Sony's professional lens are more expensive than either Nikon or Canon so I feel Sony should reevaluate their pricing to be more competitive, and thereby encourage more buyers.
The Sony lens produces extremely sharp images as expected from a Zeiss lens. The lens automatic zoom is extremely fast and very quite. The low light performance is excellent due to the f2.8 aperture that can be used throughout the 24-70mm zoom range. The lens is very versatile and can be used for a wide variety of photography including landscape, wedding photography, portraits and sport. The lens built is of a very high standard. The lens feels like you are holding a solid block of glass and therefore may be on the heavy side for some users. However its worth carrying the extra weight for the quality of photos you will obtain. This is definitely the best lens I have ever owned.
I rented this lens, because a shoot came up and I needed some superior images. I wasn't sold on all the type of the Zeiss lenses. I was have severe buyers remorse for buying my A65, as the images just haven't lived up to my expectations, and was seriously considering trading it in on a Canon. I got this lens and tested it out and the image quality, just screwing around was astounding, Great contrast, superior colors, ultra clear images with incredible detail. When I put it to task during my shoot it did NOT disappoint. The lens is almost TOO perfect. Was shooting some model portraits, and the lens easily picked up their generous use of makeup. lol The lens is HEAVY!!!, I'd be willing to argue it weighs real close to the same as my Sigma 170-500mm lens. I LOVED the ... MoreI rented this lens, because a shoot came up and I needed some superior images. I wasn't sold on all the type of the Zeiss lenses.

I LOVED the focus hold button. Really comes in handy. Someone also shooting the event had a 5D mark3 with l-series lenses, and the image quality with the 24-70 beat those out. Very impressive lens. I never thought I would say this about a lens that cost almost $2k, but its worth every cent!!!The ONLY time the auto focus wasn't spot on was shooting Indy Cars at top speed, through a tiny window, where in one second there was bare track, and the next 1/10th of a second the farm was filled with a car whizzing past you at 190mph or more. had to switch to manual focus then and that fixed the problem, but it did the task a few times, but it did struggle.
Unfortunately, the lens that was rented did attach to the camera. The adapter that was rented to remedy did not work because it did not allow us the opportunity to be able to control the lens because there was no sensor in the adapter. The purpose for renting was to determine if we would like to purchase these items. Now we know. It would be nice if lens rental make recommendation on which accessories work with the cameras and lens.
I recently purchased a preowned Sony 24-70mm f/2,8 Vario-Sonnar T* Zeiss ZA SSM A-Mount (phew) lens from Adorama and it surprised me in a few ways. Sony's 16-50mm f/2.8 lens is freakishly good, but I wanted a fast, quiet lens with more stretch at the long end. Surprise #1. As this is a full-frame lens, I was thinking I'd get the equivalent of 36-105mm on my Sony a77 II with its 1.5x crop factor. Nope. My full-frame 105mm macro lens becomes 165mm, but this lens retains the same magnification and angle of view as my other APS-C lenses do at the same indicated focal lengths. Hmmm... Surprise #2. I knew it was a sharp lens, but didn't realize how sharp it really is, until it made me reconfigure my camera to the correct AF Micro Adjustment setting.

I knew it was a sharp lens, but didn't realize how sharp it really is, until it made me reconfigure my camera to the correct AF Micro Adjustment setting. The camera unknowingly had been set to -4, and the first photos from this lens were fuzzy until I discovered the incorrect setting. Once corrected, it tops the otherwise great 16-50 lens, no slouch itself, wipes up Sony's 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3, and positively kills my Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 (well, no surprise there). Surprise #3. I'd heard it was heavy, but not hernia belt heavy. This is not an all day walk-around lens unless you have Popeye arms and a Hulk Hogan neck. That alone should take a star off, but it does everything else so well you'll just have to forgive that extra mass. Besides, people gawk at this thing like it's some alien life form. Cell phone (so-called) photographers will snicker at it, but there's no denying how good this thing is. Sony's Alpha mounts are on the endangered list, soon to be killed off by their mirrorless E-mount line, so I'm rounding up as much A-mount stuff I can while I can. This thing gets over two grand new, and is probably worth it, but at $600 used, this was a steal. Thanks, Adorama!
