From ThePhoblographer:

Pros

  • Fantastic image quality
  • That modern classic Zeiss look
  • Weather sealing
  • Smooth but not limiting focus

Cons

  • Price point
  • Only f2.4

Likes

  • That specific, beautiful Zeiss lens character
  • Weather sealing
  • Smooth and satisfying focusing

Dislikes

  • A bit expensive.
  • Only f2.4.

It’s a manual focus option, and it’s also a very precise tool designed for a photographer to work in a different way. I truthfully can’t fault with it. Is it as sharp as the rest? Probably not, but in return it gives off a look I’d be hard pressed to get from a Sony.

My other qualm, while it makes focusing wide open easier, I really wanted an f2 or an f1.8 lens.
