some interesting thoughts from Steve Huff
In reply to rogatsby, 6 months ago

In the lens section of his review of the Sony RX1 Steve Huff talks about the 24mm f/1.8. This is what he said

"When Sony released the Zeiss 24 1.8 for the NEX system I applauded this choice because it gives a 35mm equivalent with a quality lens and aperture. BUT when I shot with it I did not get that “Zeiss” feeling like I do when I shoot Zeiss ZM lenses on my Leica M."

and in his review of the NEX-7 he has this to say about the 24mm f/1.8

"The Zeiss 24 1.8 QUICKLY became my favorite lens on the NEX-7. While it is not clinicaly  sharp, it has character"

so I guess it has "character" but does not have the "Zeiss" feeling and is not clinically sharp
