    Overview

    The Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* E 24mm F1.8 ZA is a premium APS-C lens offering excellent center sharpness from f/1.8, with peak performance at f/4. Weaknesses include heavy vignetting at wide apertures and mild pincushion distortion in RAW. Build quality is excellent with an all-metal body, but lacks weather sealing. Autofocus is fast and quiet. It suits APS-C users seeking top optical quality and a fast normal-wide prime, despite the high price.
