Samples images Zeiss 16-70mm (probably defective) - Writer63 - 11-14-2014 Quote:Here's what Kurt Munger had to say about this lens:I just got a Sony 16-70 lens. My shots don't seem to have soft borders. Maybe just lucky or Sony have now corrected something. Samples images Zeiss 16-70mm (probably defective) - Guest - 11-14-2014 time to write up that one star review Well at least 1 * for value. Quote:Got a reply from Sony. Samples images Zeiss 16-70mm (probably defective) - Claire_Senft - 01-29-2015 I have a Zeiss 1670. I have had it for more than 8 months. It is the only auto focus and the only zoom lens I have ever purchased. I have been heavily involved in photography since 1962. I bought my first digital, and only digital, a Sony nex-7 in August 2013. I have for a long time been printing in b&w and Ra4. My camewra of choice was a Contax RTSIII. I bought the Sony because of the easy adaption of my lenses and ease of using the due to the electronic view finder. The lenses that I have are 21mm Distagon, 28mm Distagon, 28mm Super Angulon PC, 35mm 2.8 Distagon, 35mm Pc Distagon, 50mm 1.4 Planar, 60mm 1:1 Makro Planar, 100mm Planar, 200mm Apo Sonnar. I print with a Canon 6100 Pro Graf printer and I use Lightroom 4. Mostly I print the full framew about 6.2x9.6 inches on 8 1/2x 11 paper. I have made prints up to 17x25 inches. My adapter is a Kipon which allows 10mm of axial displacement. I do not consider myself an expert but I certainly have had a longer photo experience than most on this forum. My criteria for judging a lens is by looking at my prints. I believe tghat the testing provided by Klaus serves a very needed role. THANK YOU KLAUS! I have been very happy with all my lenses. The Zeiss 1670 was bought for more handy and quicker usage as well as a wider angle of view.. It has become my most used lens. Sharp enough to cut the mustard for sure.

Sony Zeiss 24-70/2.8, 16-35/2.8 and FE 16-35/4 are pretty decent, no? Samples images Zeiss 16-70mm (probably defective) - Klaus - 02-03-2015 The FE 24-70mm is certainly not great. |
