The Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm f/2.8 ZA SSM produced outstanding performance figures in our APS-C test but it's not quite as good when used within its native full format scope. It is, of course, still able of delivering an outstanding center resolution but the corner quality disappoints at 24mm when using large to medium aperture settings. You may argue that the quality is fine at mainstream settings here (f/8-f/11) but for this amount of money you simply expect better results here. The build quality of the Zeiss is very good although we expected a tad less plastic and some sort of sealing in a lens targeting the professional market.

Thanks to internal-focusing there is no movement of the front element, nor of the manual-focusing ring, and with only just over 30mm of extension during zooming (despite a continuous forward movement) this is a very compact lens overall. Even more impressive, given its well-contained proportions, is the fact that the Zeiss lens manages to focus slightly closer than competitors from Nikon or Canon's equivalent zooms.

I'm not one to gush, but there's really only one way to end this review - with glowing praise. The Sony 24-70mm ƒ/2.8 offers truly exquisite optical performance, and mounted on an Alpha body with in-camera image stabilization, you're looking at a truly remarkable platform for creating excellent images. If you think you need this lens and can afford it, it's a very easy decision to make.
