    Overview

    The Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm f/2 ZA is a full-frame lens for Sony Alpha, praised for outstanding build quality with an all-metal body and smooth focus ring. Optically, it delivers excellent center sharpness even at f/2, with clean corners by f/4, rivaling medium format quality (Cameracraft). Weaknesses include a curved focus plane and noisy AF. It is heavier and larger than alternatives like the Minolta 24mm f/2.8. Best suited for full-frame users seeking a fast, high-quality wide-angle lens, though APS-C users may prefer the Sony DT 16-50mm f/2.8.
