Vario-Sonnar T* 24–70mm F2.8 ZA SSM

 SAL2470Z

If you insist on prime-lens image quality but envy the convenience of 
variable focal length, here’s a lens that brings the best of both worlds 
together. For many discriminating photographers it is a lens that will 
stay on the camera most of the time. Its versatile 24mm to 70mm zoom 
range covers a wide gamut of shooting situations, and its extraordinary 
sharpness and contrast are fully retained at all focal lengths and 
apertures. Whether you’re shooting a tight indoor scene at 24mm, a 
portrait at 70mm, or anything in between, you’ll feel and see legendary 
Carl Zeiss quality in every shot.

Representing the wide end of the A-mount Carl Zeiss prime lens range, the 
24mm focal length of this model provides a wide perspective on 35mm 
full-frame format cameras, and a closer-to-normal equivalent focal length 
of 36mm on APS-C format cameras. Photographers who value a single-
prime approach to general shooting will love this lens, as will those who 
appreciate the subtle but tangible quality advantage that a first-class 
prime provides. Use it indoors, on the street, or in the wild for images that 
can bring your artistic vision to life. In addition to unimpeachable optical 
performance and refined overall handling, this lens offers particularly 
responsive, quiet autofocus operation and a minimum focusing distance 
of just 19 centimeters that lets you explore your subjects at close range.
