## Overview

The Sony 24-70mm f/4 Vario-Tessar T FE OSS is a compact, full-frame E-mount zoom lens featuring a constant f/4 aperture, Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating, and advanced optical elements including ED and aspherical glass. It offers superior image quality with minimized chromatic and spherical aberrations, smooth natural bokeh from circular aperture blades, and built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for sharp handheld shooting. Dust and moisture resistance ensure reliable performance in diverse conditions, making it a versatile choice for both stills and video on Sony full-frame and APS-C cameras.

## Description

Product Description Sony Camera Lenses SEL2470ZB This compact full-frame Carl Zeiss mid-range zoom lens covers a 24mm to 70mm range with a constant maximum aperture of F4, enabling consistent exposure settings at any focal length. This premium lens delivers superlative image quality with full-frame and APS-C E-mount cameras, and dust/moisture resistance means consistently reliable performance. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result. As focal lengths get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast, lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration. Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce, relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly improved image accuracy and quality. Coated optics were pioneered by Carl Zeiss - and this superb lens features the Carl Zeiss T* (T-Star) coating that virtually eliminates lens flare, internal reflection and light scattering that can otherwise occur at glass-to-air surfaces. The T* coating contributes to outstanding image quality, with high contrast and uniformly excellent resolution right out to the image edges. Not simply applied to any lens - the T* symbol only appears on multi-element lenses in which the required performance has been achieved throughout the entire optical path, therefore guaranteeing the highest quality. Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies as well as stills. Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a polarizing filter. 2013 Sony Electronics All rights reserved.

Review: This review is for the VIDEO crowd on the A7s - I'm not a pixel peeper, so I can't speak to the technical aspects of the lens. What I can tell you, is that it's a VERY useful lens for the A7s when recording video. I can't tell you anything about autofocus other than it works, because we are strictly manual focusing people. What I can tell you, is the footage from this lens is VERY clear and the color rendition is very nice. For years, I've shot with nothing but prime lenses. This lens changed that. Mostly because it's really handy in live situations (I do weddings) to change focal length on the fly. Probably the best thing about this lens is it has the OSS which is an absolute life saver when you are forced to shoot handheld. The other thing is with a few button presses (hopefully only one after sony issues a firmware update)...on the A7s anyway, you can also shoot in crop mode which makes this lens effectively more like a 35mm-100mm or so. This is a great option again for those of us who shoot live events like weddings. But the bottom line is this: It's better than the available kit lens, it has OSS that works and works very well with the Sony equipment. It doesn't require an adapter, and there's not really a lot of choice out there right now.... I don't think you can go wrong with the lens if you're shooting with an A7s, A7r, or A7. I'll also note that it's a nice touch that it does still work the crop cameras too...which is nice as our backup camera is a NEX-6. ONE thing to note for video: If you're planning to use a follow focus. Forget it. You can't. The focus ring on this lens and most sony lenses is "drive by wire" for lack of a better word (there's probably a real term for it). What I mean by that is, the faster you turn it, the faster it changes focus. The slower, the slower it changes. Therefore, you can't repeat focus pulls like you can on a cinema lens. Of course, I'll note that I can pretty easily perform a smooth focus pull with my finger while hand holding, and the zoom is INCREDIBLY smooth for what I was expecting. Good luck.
Review: Fine Zeiss zoom - This is a great lens. The Zeiss coating gives it a saturated, contrasty look and the images can tolerate superfine sharpening. This is also one of the smallest full frame normal zooms out there. At F11, everything is more than acceptable except for a prime shooter. The lens is silent and focusses fast in all but the darkest light. The centers are always sharp. The best pro lenses are sharp across the field wide open for shallow DOF. Everything else is good at F8/F11. This lens is good enough for casual to serious amateur use. Because the A7r files can tolerate sharpening, landscapes should be fine at F8/F11. Wide open in low light, most subjects are not even at the same plane, so edge sharpness is not critical anyway. What this lens is notable for is the saturated colors and perfect contrast that catches our eyes. It's like a signature look. I seriously doubt that most people are printing big enough to complain about this lens vs. a prime. I can see it in the RX100 and other lenses. My only complaint is that we have returned to the larger sizes and weights of full metal bodies and mid size lenses. I'm getting to the point where I think equipment doesn't matter that much anymore. I have shot a wedding for fun with my RX100 with both photos and videos and it was extremely fun. Sure, the results may not be pro, but the results can be great. To do the same thing, with a full frame A7r I would need to bring a flash, more batteries, possibly a tripod, a camera bag and possible 1 low light lens. With the RX100, it all fit in my jacket pocket. I wonder what people do with these huge image files. I hope they're printing them because why else do people need so may megapixels?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looking at this lens from a different perspective
*by U***J on April 18, 2014*

I got this lens because I wanted an everyday zoom lens for my a7, but I did not want to go with the kit lens. So I decided to step-it-up to this newly released Zeiss. Like some of my other reviews on photography equipment, I'll try to provide a different perspective on my experience with this lens, rather than give you the typical review of its technical pro's and con's. I've always had a special admiration for Zeiss lenses, I owned a couple of them before and there is something different about the way photographs are reproduced by a Zeiss. They just look special, unique, different. I wish I could better explain it, but after years of doing photography, and owning A LOT of lenses and cameras, I can honestly say that Zeiss lenses stand out when it comes to build, feel, look, and image quality. Having said that, I don't particularly think that this Zeiss lens is one of the best ones I've used. Nope, this is perhaps my least favorite Zeiss lens. Why? well, it has all the ingredients that make a Zeiss, except there are a couple of things that do not allow me to give this lens a 5 star rating. Here are MY reasons why I like and dislike this lens: But wait, before I begin I want to caveat something: as you read these, keep in mind that these are MY reasons and MY opinion, and you are likely reading this as part of your research to help you make a purchase decision. I've been doing photography for a very long time and I like to know technical details, but I think of photography as an art rather than than a science. Keep that in mind if you plan to comment and/or disagree with what I say... Why I like it: +Awesome build, feel, and look +Smooth and responsive zoom ring as well as focus ring +Perfect walk-around range for a full-frame +Great image quality, color reproduction, (that "Zeiss" look) very little chromatic aberration, even in extreme back-light situations +Nice Bokeh Why it did not get 5 stars: -Rather too big/heavy for a compact-size a7/r. I wish the lens was smaller/lighter to better balance and match the small body of the a7/r -Not as sharp as I expected for a high-end Zeiss. I have other zoom lenses for different cameras at the same price range, and the sharpness of this lens is NOT up-to-par -Focus speed greatly degrades when shooting in low light. Understand that I did not do extensive technical tests, this review is based on my experience with the lens over the past 30 days or so (as of 18-APR-2041) though I do consider my self a pixel-peeper, and I pay great attention to detail when it comes to image quality. Overall I think the lens is a good lens, but I wish it was faster (f2.8 would have been awesome) and sharp throughout the entire frame, not just the center; and throughout the entire range. I know lens copies vary, I believe I got a cood copy, and I will keep it. However, when comparing it to other lenses of the same focal range, and same price point, I would say this lens falls short in sharpness and speed. I have NOT used the kit lens, so I cannot compare it. But I do have the cannon 24-105 f4L, and the AMAZING Panasonic G Vario 12-35mm F2.8 for M43 cameras, and both of those lenses are superior in sharpness and focus speed. So wait, does this mean that this is a bad deal? NO! I actually like this lens because it produces special images that may not be a sharp as others, but have a special look and feel that only Zeiss lenses have. Again, I wish I could explain. That's the reason why I cannot give this product any less than a 4 star rating. Despite of its shortcomings, I think this lens is good value at this price point for its built and overall image quality. Like any piece of photography equipment, if used properly, and creatively, this lens is capable of producing some amazing photographs when paired with my a7. I hope this helps you make a more informed purchase decision. Happy shooting!
