Max Aperture
The f/4 in the lens name refers to the lens’ max aperture opening, the relationship of lens opening to focal length.
The lower the number, the more light the lens will allow to reach the sensor.
Each «stop» in aperture change (examples: f/2.8, f/4.0, f/5.6, f/8, etc.) increases or reduces the amount of light reaching the sensor by a factor of 2x (a big deal).
An f/4 lens is one stop slower/narrower than what is typically found in the fastest/widest zoom lenses covering the general-purpose focal length range.
The narrower max aperture means that smaller diameter elements are needed, resulting in a lighter weight, smaller size, and lower cost.
Having a narrower max aperture also means that there may be better options for stopping action in low light.
I emphasize «action» as this lens’s image stabilization system (OSS, Optical SteadyShot) makes it even better-suited for handheld low light non-action photography than a non-stabilized f/2.8 option.
The subject speed and how rapidly that subject is crossing pixels in the frame makes low light capabilities situational.
Long focal lengths, wide apertures, close subjects, and distant backgrounds are the keys to a strong background blur.
While the f/4 aperture is not extremely wide, the 70mm f/4 combination, along with a relatively close subject and distant background, can produce great subject separation by blurring away the background.
That is an example of the maximum background blur this lens can produce.
24mm |
70mm
It is very satisfying to see the background melt into a blur of color.
That is referring to the 70mm end of course.
Especially nice is that this lens has a fixed max aperture over the entire focal length range.
Manually-set wide-open exposures can be retained and counted on throughout the entire zoom range.
That said, I always wonder if I’m giving up some potential wide focal length max aperture to get the fixed max aperture feature.
Image Stabilization
Sony marketing touts its cameras as having IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization), but many of their lenses also feature OSS (Optical SteadyShot).
While perhaps not immediately clear, these two stabilization systems are complementary: «5-axis image stabilization becomes available when used with α series bodies that feature built-in image stabilization.»
While narrow apertures may not be optimal under low light conditions, this lens’ optical image stabilization system can save the day in such conditions,
significantly increasing the versatility of this lens, improving usability and, in many situations, considerably improving the image quality delivered.
While OSS is great for reducing camera shake-caused blur in images, it is also very helpful for precise framing of subjects in the viewfinder.
While OSS is active, drifting of framing is minor with the viewfinder view remaining well-controlled and subject reframing being easily accomplished.
This OSS system is nearly silent except for some clunking heard during significant movement.
Handheld video recording is nicely assisted by OSS and the stabilized composition also provides a still subject to the camera’s AF system, permitting it to do its job better.

Объектив большой и тяжелый. Спойлер – это всё ради высочайшего качества.
Он весит 886 грамм, его размеры 136 мм в длину и 87,6 мм в ширину. Резьба для светофильтра 82мм. Корпус Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM пыле- и влагозащитный.
Оптическая схема состоит из 18 элементов в 13 группах. Среди них один элемент из низкодисперсионного (ED) стекла и один из стекла со сверхнизкой дисперсией (Super ED). Это снижает хроматические аберрации до нуля и повышает разрешающую способность объектива.
На камере объектив смотрится монстром и весьма утяжеляет Sony A7R3. Для тех кто волнуется о том, что клиенты не воспринимают людей с беззеркальной камерой можно сказать, что с таким объективом вопросов не возникнет.
На корпусе есть переключатель фиксирующий кольцо зуммирования в положении 24мм. Это сделано для безопасной транспортировки.
Сбоку под левой рукой расположена дополнительная кнопка, на которую через меню камеры можно настроить любую необходимую функцию, например включение фокусировки по глазам. Ближе к корпусу находится переключатель режимов фокусировки AF/MF.
Кольцо зума ходит очень плавно. А вот ход кольца фокусировки очень короткий и лёгкий, заметно, что о ручной фокусировке никто не задумывался. В принципе это логично.
Объектив поставляется с компактной блендой.
Focal Length Range
When determining what a lens is useful for, the focal length range it provides is one of the top considerations.
Focal length especially matters because it drives focus distance choices which also determines perspective.
Covering the angles of view ranging from wide-angle through normal and on to short telephoto, the Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens’s focal length range comfortably covers what I consider the ideal range for a standard do-everything lens.
A 24-70mm lens is an essential part of many landscape and cityscape photography kits.
At the 24mm end, this lens provides a very wide-angle of view, able to show a strong perspective and create a sense of presence in an image while not being so wide that composition becomes too challenging.
By the 70mm end, smaller portions of a scene can be isolated and distant mountains will appear larger in proportion to closer elements.
This is a great people photography focal length range.
At 24mm, environmental portraits can be captured and by 70mm, people can be framed tightly enough for head and shoulder portraits while retaining a pleasing perspective.
This focal length range will work well for photographing a wide variety of events, from informal birthday parties to formal galas at large venues.
Sports photographers able to get close to their subjects or wanting to capture a wider/environmental view of their events appreciate this focal length range.
These angles of view can work well for architecture photography.
Product photography is on this lens’ capabilities list.
This is an ideal focal length range for videography needs.
The above is just a beginning to the list of uses for the 24-70mm range.
That this focal length range nicely complements a 70-200mm lens for sports and many other uses is another advantageous feature.
Here is an example showing the angle of views taken in by this focal length range when mounted on a full-frame camera.
24mm |
35mm |
50mm |
70mm
When mounted on an APS-C imaging sensor format Sony camera, the 24-70mm angle of view becomes similar to that of a 36-105mm lens on a full-frame camera (1.5x).
These angles of view shift this lens’s strengths somewhat, especially favoring portraiture over landscape uses.

Полагаем нет смысла говорить о том, что диапазон фокусного расстояния объектива 24-70 мм является универсальным и подходит для большинства задач фотографа.
За счет веса приходится придерживать объектив левой рукой, но это не большая плата за такое качество изображения. Так же при таком хвате удобно пользоваться дополнительной кнопкой на объективе которой можно назначить в меню камеры любую функцию, например фокусировки по глазу.
Автофокус у Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM рекордно быстрый. Если вы снимаете гонки, спорт или бегающих детей – лучше ничего не найдете. При этом автофокус работает крайне тихо, что актуально при съёмке видео.
При тестировании иногда создавалось впечатление, что мотор автофокуса может работать еще быстрее и камера не успевает за ним.
Для большинства рядовых задач фотографа его хватит с лихвой. Он в прямом смысле слишком быстрый для них. Это не плохо, но если вы не нуждаетесь в такой скорости, то есть смысл посмотреть на более бюджетные объективы. Например FE 24-105 f/4 G OSS.
Ease of Use
The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS lens mounted on a Sony A7
Weighing in at 426g, the alloy-bodied Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS is quite a substantial, very well built FE E-Mount lens. Measuring just under 9.5cms in length, it is actually taller than a full-frame body like the Sony A7 body that we tested it with, as shown in the photos below., especially when it’s zoomed out to 70mm, where it measures nearly 12.5cms in length.

Build quality is excellent, but you’d expect that given the high price of the lens. The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS has a sealed dust and moisture resistant design and is a natural partner for the A7 and A7R cameras, feeling well-balanced and not front-heavy.
The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS incorporates a built-in optical image stabilizer which provides compensation of 3 f-stops, which partly compensates for the moderate f/4 maximum aperture.

The zoom ring is smooth and well-damped, with a quarter-turn required to go from one end of the range to the other. As mentioned above, the lens barrel extends by 3cms when zooming to the full 70mm telephoto setting.
Manual focusing is possible via the slightly narrow, textured focus ring when set on the specific camera body. The lens utilizes a linear motor to produce quiet and smooth focusing, making it well-suited to shooting video.

The lens ships with a soft case and a petal-shaped plastic lens hood (ALC-SH130), neither of which was provided to us for review.
Focal Range
At the 24mm focal length the angle of view is 34 degrees.
Field of view at 24mm
At the 70mm focal length the angle of view is 84 degrees.
Field of view at 70mm
Focusing
The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS lens has quite a wide focus ring. There are no hard stops at either end of the range, making it a little more difficult to set focus at infinity. Polariser users should be pleased that the 67mm filter thread doesn’t rotate on focus.
When it comes to auto-focusing, the Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS zoom is a quiet and fairly quick performer on the Sony A7 that we tested it with, taking about 0.15 seconds to lock onto the subject.
We didn’t experience much «hunting», either in good or bad light, with the lens accurately focusing almost all of the time, and it’s also a quiet performer thanks to the linear motor driven internal focusing, making it ideal for movie shooting.
Chromatic Aberrations
Chromatic aberrations, typically seen as purple or blue fringes along contrasty edges, are only notable by their almost complete absence from our test shots.
Light Fall-off
With the lens set to its maximum aperture, there is some light fall-off in the extreme corners, but it won’t affect your real-world shots too much.

Bokeh
Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc. In the Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS lens, Sony employed an iris diaphragm with seven rounded blades, which has resulted in quite appealing bokeh in our view. We do realise, however, that bokeh evaluation is subjective, so we’ve included several 100% crops for your perusal.

Focusing
The Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens uses an internal focusing design driven by a linear autofocus motor.
This lens focuses very quietly with good speed.
With a medium-sized max aperture opening, this lens has mid-level low light AF performance.
This lens does not feature the AF hold button common on Sony lenses.
FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is supported via Sony’s DMF (Direct Manual Focus) AF mode.
Normal is for the scene to change size in the frame (sometimes significantly) as focus is pulled from one extent to the other, referred to as focus breathing, a change in focal length resulting from a change in focus distance.
Focus breathing negatively impacts photographers intending to use focus stacking techniques, videographers pulling focus, and anyone very-critically framing a scene while adjusting focus.
This lens shows a modest change in subject size as full extent focus adjustments are made as illustrated below.
24mm:
Far |
Close
70mm:
Far |
Close
The reviewed lens appears to be parfocal with a subject remaining in focus after zooming in or out.
The FE 24-70 features a forward-positioned (as I prefer) ribbed manual focus ring.
It is not rubber-coated but that detail seems of low importance on this design.
The ring is not huge, but it is properly sized for the amount of space available on the lens barrel and it rotates smoothly with rather low resistance.
This is a multi-speed focus ring.
Turn it quickly for a full extent change in about 30° or turn it slowly for several full rotations of adjustment (I lose my focus when trying to turn the ring around that many times).
I generally prefer a linear response adjustment and this one switches into high-speed mode slightly early for my preference.
Focusing down to 15.7″ (400mm) at 70mm yields a maximum magnification spec of 0.20x, a useful mid-level number.
| Model | MFD | MM | |
| Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens | 15.0″ | (380mm) | 0.24x |
| Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Lens | 15.7″ | (400mm) | 0.20x |
| Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens | 15.0″ | (380mm) | 0.31x |
| Sony FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens | 19.7″ | (500mm) | 0.27x |
| Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens | 11.8″ | (300mm) | 0.19x |
| Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens | 7.5″ | (190mm) | 0.34x |
At 70mm, a subject measuring approximately 5.9 x 3.9″ (150 x 100mm) will fill the frame at the minimum focus distance.
The largest flowers in the image below are approximately 1″ in diameter.
Need a shorter minimum focus distance and greater magnification?
An extension tube mounted behind this lens should provide a very significant decrease and increase respectively.
Extension tubes are hollow lens barrels that shift a lens farther from the camera, which permits shorter focusing distances at the expense of long-distance focusing.
Electronic connections in extension tubes permit the lens and camera to communicate and otherwise function as normal.
Sony does not publish extension tube specs nor do they manufacture these items, but third-party Sony extension tubes are available.
This lens is not compatible with Sony teleconverters.

Выводы
1/500, f/5.6, ISO 100
При выборе объектива на одной чаше весов производительность, на другой стоимость. Здесь с каждой стороны очень весомые аргументы.
Это лучший стандартный зум, который мы когда либо видели! Потрясающее разрешение и быстрый автофокус делают его идеальным для фотографов высочайшего уровня.
Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM настолько хороший, что это стало одной из его слабых сторон. Стоимость объектива 164990 рублей, что выше многих профессиональных камер, а габариты делают систему достаточно тяжелой и не компактной.
Иногда создается впечатление, что данный объектив и вообще серия GM спроектированы с запасом по разрешению и смогут работать на будущих матрицах.
Стоит отметить очень важный момент. Для получения максимальной детализации изображения вам придется использовать самые качественные светофильтры, иначе ваш объектив не раскроет свой потенциал.
Скачать RAW с объектива можно здесь.
Стоит ли покупать
Этот объектив однозначно стоит брать при работе с камерами с разрешением матрицы больше 24 Мп для получения максимальной отдачи от камеры.
Стоит ли брать этот объектив при работе с разрешение 24 Мп или тем кто снимает репортажи не связанные с безумными скоростями? При такой цене это сомнительно.
Плюсы:
- Очень быстрый автофокус
- Высокая детализация
- Прекрасная резкость
- Влаго- и пылезащищенный корпус
- Дополнительная функциональная кнопка
- Физический переключатель AF/MF
