Zeiss Products

"Owning the zeiss 55 F1.8 I was spoiled with sharpness but this 50 just has that extra umph to the rendering. ...I switched from the 55mm Zeiss and the bokeh/low light capability is unmatched. "

"Very good match with my old but gold zeiss 50mm 1.8, with smallrig base plate."

"The quality of pictures produced with this lens surprisingly challenges those produced from Sony and Zeiss....Sigma just creates a high end product for a reasonable cost. Must have for the crop sensor systems."

"Sold my 16-70 Zeiss f4. Zoom on this lens is much smoother and I like the f2.8....upgraded from 16-70 Zeiss lens and worth the upgrade"

"This thing is fast and tack sharp. I have a zeiss 2.8 which j love to death because of the size but when I really need top quality this is my go to!...Buy It ASAP Unless You Can Afford The GM or Zeiss...Now I'm trying to buy the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm I should be able to buy it in about 3-4 months and I can not wait :) But In The Mean Time I Will Enjoy This 35mm Lens .."

"This is a no brainer if you are in the 50mm market. I had the Zeiss offering and sold it once I bought this one, pairs so well with 35mm and 24mm gm’s....I've used the older 50 1.8, samyang and sigma ones, and the famous Zeiss 55mm 1.8 that most swears by. But this lens is just special. "

"More than Zeiss lens but it's worth every pennies.....I'm so glad that I got this lens over the 85mm 1.8 zeiss batis. This lens is super crispy and the bokeh though!!!!"

"So how does one approach writing a review for such an outstanding product that can be written from the perspective of a vlogger, or a photographer? ...This replaced my. 24 to 70. Zeiss. from Sony. And this. lens is much quicker and sharper. "

"Sticking to the Zeiss...The quality is noticeably less than the Zeiss lens, in more shots than I care to think about. ...I was hesitant at first compared to the same style lens by Zeiss for a lot less money. However, I went with this lens bec I want to take my photography seriously. "

"Pictures are awesome. Great product...Not as precise as the 35mm Zeiss equivalent glass but at nearly $200 cheaper I couldn’t justify the marginally better performance."

"I literally just use this and my 35 mm zeiss 1.4. It’s a great combo....I replaced my 24-70mm Zeiss for this and am very happy with it. It is heavier, larger, than the 24-70 but that is to be expected. "

"This is the best 35mm f/1.4 lens I have ever shot with, and that is comparing it to modern day Leica and Zeiss lenses, Canon and Nikon need not apply. Is it on the expensive side? ...This is my new favorite travel lens! I just came from the Zeiss 35mm Distagon lens and I feel like that lens has way more chromatic aberration and is also way less sharp. "

"Don’t need a Zeiss lens. Buy this...Great product. Honestly not much difference from the ZEISS Batis 1.8/85mm. "

"In her a6500 is super nice! If Zeiss is out of your price range this is a great alternative!...I was ready to splurge on a Zeiss lens costing mega hundreds but what for? The clarity of the images and background bokeh is awesome!"

"I have 35mm 1.4, 55.mm 1.8 Zeiss lenses and these lenses take better picture....Dear Lord, I have been shhoting for close to 4 months, took a few classes, watched countless videos, now that I am a bit more educated I understand sharpness a bit more, I use the a7ii with the kit lens and Zeiss 55 1,8 great lens but not ideal for Macro, picked up this macro yesterday and I can't stop shooting, it has taken me to another level, I haven't even processed my pictures, they are that sharp straight out of the camera, I use the saturation feature, it was this lens or the a6300, no way my a7ii and this lens are on another level now. "

"Yes, I'd love a suite of G class or zeiss lenses but... i work at a regular job. This work, is decently sharp, and serves the serious but not wealthy amateur....Very stiff rotation Focus is good Range is excellent Quality is comparable with the zeiss lens bit for non professional there is no need to spend a lot of money Sony should make a zeiss in this lens too"

"My only issues with this lens is it isn’t ask sharp as a Zeiss & you’ll get some distortion when in zoom or wide even with Lightroom compensation. ...If you don't want to spend as much on the Zeiss, would recommend this lens."

"There were no surprises with the product. It performs as expected and is a great addition to my arsenal of lenses.......This lens is amazing , I love it Thank you Sony for creating such amazing products"

"great walk around lens used for literally everything. paired with my 55 1.8 Zeiss lens. love both...It's an amazing lens but not amazing like the Zeiss"

"As sharp as the more expensive 55 1.8 Zeiss. I don't see a difference and half the cost....I haven’t had a chance to compare it to the Zeiss lens but for the price, it is wonderful."

"Must have lens if you don't want to spend more money on Zeiss lenses....Great deal versus Sony/Zeiss...Obviously it isn't super-crisp crisp Zeiss glass--whether by Zeiss itself or by Sony to Zeiss specs--but it isn't that soft and really does the job well. "

"Awesome for products...Took my product photography to another level. Definitely recommend...Oh Man! This product save my life when I need to shot it out closed of products or people. "
