Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

Sony a7s camera. I shoot through the subject and through his older brother sal 2470z f / 2.8 using the la-ea4 adapter.
Pros of the subject: good balance with the camera, easily helps to avoid shake, especially when working with an electronic shutter; compactness for a kit of this level.
Disadvantages of the subject: I would like the picture to be better; "buildup" on autofocus (but this is a question for the CAF of the camera).
Now about sal2470. The older brother is better in everything: excellent picture, color reproduction, clarity. PPP in the adapter allows the use of mixed AF. Constant aperture 2.8. The real Zeiss! The minus is huge - the weight is about 1.2 kg with an adapter.
Conclusion: a7s with sel2470 - travel and events; with sal2470 - studio and all other cases where the weight can be ignored.

Pros

Good workmanship, balanced size and weight for use with the a7s, "correct" focal range.

Cons

Not the most beautiful picture, not high (for Zeiss) image clarity, too light manual focus ring. Lack of translation into manual focus on the lens barrel. The price/picture ratio is in favor of the price.
