Carl Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 Sonnar E ZA T* Other sample images
This lens provides an angle of view equivalent to a 36mm lens used on a 35mm camera | 1/250 sec | f/6.3 | 24.0 mm | ISO 100 | Accurate focusing inspires confidence when using fast apertures and contrast holds up well when shooting into the light | 1/640 sec | f/1.8 | 24.0 mm | ISO 100 |
Closest focus is 16cm | 1/250 sec | f/2.8 | 24.0 mm | ISO 100 | Sharpness is outstanding in the centre of the frame and very good towards the edges when stopped down | 1/60 sec | f/6.3 | 24.0 mm | ISO 100 |
1/60 sec | f/8.0 | 24.0 mm | ISO 160 | 1/80 sec | f/2.8 | 24.0 mm | ISO 100 |
1/60 sec | f/5.6 | 24.0 mm | ISO 100 | 1/80 sec | f/3.5 | 24.0 mm | ISO 100 |
Value for money
Although the price may seem steep at around £760, this is justified by the excellent build quality and optical performance. As there are currently no alternatives at this focal length for the Sony NEX system, if you want a 24mm prime, then it has to be this one.
