The Sony Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS is a constant maximum aperture full-frame (FE) zoom lens for the Sony E-mount, announced by Sony on October 16, 2013.[1][2]

Build quality

[edit]

The lens showcases a minimalist black weather resistant metal exterior with a Zeiss badge on the side of the barrel and no zoom lock to prevent zoom creep. Both the zoom and focus rings are metal. The barrel of the lens telescopes outward from the main lens body as it's zoomed in from 24mm to 70mm.
