Review on πŸ“· Sony Carl ZEISS Sonnar T E 24mm F1.8 ZA E-Mount Prime Lens: Superior Image Quality and Versatile Performance by Julpikz Bellemy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best lens in my kit. Is always.

I'm a little biased. It's by no means the first great lens I've used, but I think it's the best photographic lens I've ever had. I can't believe the sharpness, sharpness, color reproduction, bokeh and character of this lens. Zeiss 24 1.8 leaves nothing to be desired. I actually didn't see any of the minor issues that some other reviewers mention regarding CA, glare, etc. Minor quibbles, to be sure. I've been in love with the Sony NEX platform for some time, and have been a vocal supporter of the admittedly mixed bag of Sony's own E-mount primes. I even defended the mocked 16mm 2.8 pancake lens with its useless but excellent wide-angle and fisheye adapters. I STILL defend these lenses (with some reservations) based on the fact that I've gotten some really great shots out of them, amazing shots even considering the cost and form factor. My mid-size Alpha lenses also worked well on the NEX through the LAEA adapter, so I felt pretty good about what I see when I pull out the magnifying glass. Well, I'm almost ready to give up everything. These are still good lenses, but this one. This is a great lens.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not happy with everything
