This is a great lens - very sharp, I like the field of view as 24mm looks very natural on APS-C for a good general purpose lens, and f1.8 is great for low light. My bottom line is that I bought this while on vacation in NYC and I ended up with some great low light / night time shots that I probably...

The other reviewers are spot on. Their technical description of this lenses attributes are spot on. What I will add is that this is my go to street photography lens. I was a little leary as I really wanted a 35mm walking around prime lens. I am not disappointed at all.

As a matter of personal standards, I never reduce a product's rating for anything you can clearly see in pictures or read in descriptions. I knew I was buying a thousand dollar lens, so I won't dock an egg for that. I could see that the box looked just like the paperboard box that my camera was in.

This lens has amazing optical quality; The pictures it takes are amazing; Even the low-light shots are leagues better than the kit lens; Autofocus is smooth, quick, and quiet

I'll list it as a con, but it doesn't affect my rating; The lens is expensive; I paired it with a NEX-5N, so the lens by itself is more expensive than my camera was (I purchased the camera when it was released--paid around $700 I believe).

This lens is exactly what I've wanted. It's a 36mm equivalent, opens at 1.8. It's the perfect walk-around lens. Sharpness Beautiful center at f1.8, beautiful everywhere at f2.8, perfect at f4.

Rich images; detailed and with character

I bought this lens a few weeks ago to use with the a6000. I have owned the a6000 for a while but haven't used it much because I also have the A7R Mk2 which as a full frame camera has many advantages.

Great for landscapes and street photography. Makes you want to up your game and be worthy of the lens

Brilliant optical quality; Durable; Great Picture Quality

Not cheap

Very satisfied,not being an expert or a pixel piper the images are very sharp,and the delivery was fast,good job AMZ

The Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm f/1.8 ZA is a premium wide-angle prime lens for Sony NEX compact system cameras. It offers the equivalent angle of view as a 36mm lens on a 35mm camera and features a near-circular 7 blade diaphragm which creates an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of...

"I have been using this on the NEX-7 for about 1 month. All I can say is the results are jaw-dropping. I always store my camera with this attached. It is my ""go-to"" lens for indoors and my favorite lens overall. Pros:The only NEX lens that does the 24mp NEX-7 justice.

Love is an understatement. Yes, you can take great shots with more the much more affordable 50mm f/1.8. Sure. And I did for about a year. But it kept haunting me. The 24mm (35mm equivalent on APS/C) was just so much more of a walk around lens, but with Sonnar T? Coating, Zeiss sharpness and...
