    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.

    Circular Aperture

    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.

    ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass

    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.

    Customers like the sharpness of the lens. They mention that it has good center sharpness, and is sharp throughout the entire range. Customers also appreciate the corner to corner sharpness. Overall, most are satisfied with the sharp quality of the product.

    "...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...." Read more

    "...At 70mm I found the lens to be very sharp by f5.6, but somewhat less contrasty. Just about perfect for portraits at 70mm...." Read more

    26 customers mention21 positive5 negative

    Customers like the performance of the lens. They mention that it works well, produces crisp, clear, colorful images, and is pleased with the results. The lens works well for outdoor photography, but indoors it either demands a high ISO or gives a poor image. It's a nice touch that it does still work with crop cameras. It is convenient and easy to deliver professional quality results. Overall, most are happy with the performance and recommend it to others.

    "...Yes, I would recommend it. It's fits the A7r series well and does a very adequate job for amateur, semi-professional and some professional..." Read more

    "...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...." Read more

    "...+Nice BokehWhy 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..." Read more

    "...It’s small and portable and the fact that it covers a wide range makes it a perfect daily carry...." Read more

    30 customers mention18 positive12 negative

    Customers are mixed about the focus of the camera lens. Some mention that it focuses well, and is good in all but very low light levels, though f/4. They also say the autofocus is excellent, fast, and sharp. However, others find fault with its slow autofocus in low light, and the focus by wire really is terrible.

    "...The lens is silent and focusses fast in all but the darkest light. The centers are always sharp...." Read more

    "...smooth focus pull with my finger while hand holding, and the zoom is INCREDIBLY smooth for what I was expecting. Good luck." Read more

    "...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..." Read more

    "This lens look beautiful in my sony a7. The auto focus is excellent even in dark situations I was amazed with the speed and accuracy...." Read more

    So far so good. Crisp, vibrant pics in a small package
    5 Stars
    So far so good. Crisp, vibrant pics in a small package
    I bought this at a reduced price of about $500 directly from Amazon as it was an open box item. The lens arrived in perfect condition and I really could not tell there was any wear at all.I have an 85mm G-Master and a Supertelephoto 70-350 from Sony and both are large and not as dynamic as the Zeiss. It’s small and portable and the fact that it covers a wide range makes it a perfect daily carry. I’m yet to shoot any portraits with this but when I do, I’ll update my review.Bottom line: new or used, this lens is easily worth the money. I probably would have paid $900 for this if that was the price.
