優點:
Awesome image quality, as a zoom lens, sharpness comparable to a fixed focal length lens.
Aperture 2.8 usable.
Creamy bokeh exclusive to Carl Zeiss
High resiliency against color fringe.
Good range to use on fullframe.
Fast auto focus.
come with pouch and metal hood.
缺點:
Expensive $10700 @ BroadXXX (12months instalment)
Heavy. Even 200g heavier than Sigma HSM. You need a batterygrip for better balance even on A850/A900
Quite bulky in size, I dread using Quick Strap with this lens.
Image quality dwindles at the tele end. Not IF. At 70mm the extension tube protrudes, affecting its aesthetic. (Easyto trap dust within the lens too. I checked three lens before I found one free of dust)
評價:
I owned a sigma 2470DG EX HSM before. I could not agree more that it was superbly built and a value for money. Yet Carl Zeiss goes more than a bargain. It is one of a kind considering its incomparable sharpness, saturation bokeh and contrast to any of its optic counterparts. I was born at the mid 80s. The film camera era ended a tad earlier than the time I could afford a camera. Thus, the reminiscence of Contax and Leica was Greek to me and I hardly understand the obstinacy of many Chings on Carl Zeiss. ‘Seeing is believing’. I am proud to tell that I own one. Carl Zeiss demonstrates how a picture paints a thousand words and sometimes, beyond words.
