The Best Sony/Zeiss Lens Thus Far

Sony 70mm Sonnar Digital Cameras

One of the best things buying a Sony DSLRs is the option of buying a Carl Zeiss lens. I bought a Sony A77 recently (luckily I found one) and without any hesitation bought a 24-70mm f/2.8 ZA lens. I use this to shoot models. This is a true classic Zeiss lens in that it's very well-made (in today's standards) and it is heavy at 1kg or about 2.2 lbs. (the way it's supposed to be for a fast f/2.8 lens). This feels like a Zeiss 120mm Makro-Planar lens for Hasselblad which I like a lot. This lens takes breathtaking pictures; no, "photographs." Personally, I think the price is a bargain at $1,650. The zoom ring is nice and tight, the SSM is incredible with almost no detectable sound when it focuses, you have to use it to appreciate it. On my A77, this lens focuses automatically without you having to depress the shutter half way down. Just point the camera at various objects and distances and you'll put this lens to work and will see how amazingly sweet this lens is. If you don't have the budget, wait until you have the budget. This lens is worth the extra money. Take care of it and you can use it for life. It's almost sacred to me. I love it.
