Mid-range zoom
Vario-Sonnar T* 24–70mm F2.8 ZA SSM SAL2470Z
If you insist on prime-lens image quality but envy the convenience of
variable focal length, here’s a lens that brings the best of both worlds
together. For many discriminating photographers it is a lens that will
stay on the camera most of the time. Its versatile 24mm to 70mm zoom
range covers a wide gamut of shooting situations, and its extraordinary
sharpness and contrast are fully retained at all focal lengths and
apertures. Whether you’re shooting a tight indoor scene at 24mm, a
portrait at 70mm, or anything in between, you’ll feel and see legendary
Carl Zeiss quality in every shot.

Wide-angle prime
Distagon T* 24mm F2 ZA SSM SAL24F20Z
Representing the wide end of the A-mount Carl Zeiss prime lens range, the
24mm focal length of this model provides a wide perspective on 35mm
full-frame format cameras, and a closer-to-normal equivalent focal length
of 36mm on APS-C format cameras. Photographers who value a single-
prime approach to general shooting will love this lens, as will those who
appreciate the subtle but tangible quality advantage that a first-class
prime provides. Use it indoors, on the street, or in the wild for images that
can bring your artistic vision to life. In addition to unimpeachable optical
performance and refined overall handling, this lens offers particularly
responsive, quiet autofocus operation and a minimum focusing distance
of just 19 centimeters that lets you explore your subjects at close range.
