Sony Zeiss 24mm for NEX review
Andrew Reid posted his final NEX-7 video quality review at EosHD (Click here): “Faced with the 5D Mark II and Panasonic GH2, the NEX 7 is a better stills camera than the GH2, ergonomically superior to both for video, has great colour and tonality in the standard picture profiles, but is not up there in terms of resolution and compression.”
NEX-7 and Zeiss lens test at SonyAlphaLab (Click here):”next to my Canon L Glass it’s the best lens I’ve used on the Sony Nex cameras. Corner to corner sharpness is very well maintained considering the engineering challenges of the E-mount 18mm flange distance to the sensor.”

holy shit… i hate that guy so much… seriously i wish i know him in person so that i can tell him to stop producing this kind of so called review…. i am sure that he can find his colleague to do it for him… damn he really disgusting…
Don’t hold back, how do you really feel about him. 😀
I love this guy !! he got his own style and his doing review differently
but probably you need to have a little sense of humour to understand his style
it’s curious to see how people can easily get upset and feel exceeds with something they don’t understand !!
If you don’t like, you don’t have to watch ! it’s as simple as that !!
I think we all have “a little sense of humour” (well, maybe not the Germans) he is a Marmite thing though. His voice gets on my nerves. 🙂
I’m not a Kiwi but I like Marmite. Am I entitled to enjoy Kai’s reviews, then? 😛
Well, maybe it’s not that “we don’t understand” this guy. It’s also possible to understand him and still have the opinion that he’s a jerk. The way he takes a shot of the man without legs is quite a cringe moment. There’s something about this guy and his attitude that makes me feel sick.
Life is too short to be that upset at someone you don’t even know.
EXACTLY
“It is preferable to a NEX 5N, 7D or 60D no matter what you intend to do with it.”
Ah ha!
BTW forthcoming Tuesday is Pancake Day 😛
Not for the NEX system it isn’t. 😀
When ever you watch his reviews of the Leica X1- or anything Leica. I have never heard him complain about the cost. Yet when he reviews a lens that is 1/4th the price of the equivelent Leica lens, all he can talk about is how it is a good lens, but sooo pricey.
The thing that bugs me about his reviews are the lack of objectivity. So here is my prediction – He will love the X 1 Pro and the OM-D and have unbridled praise and never mention the price.
lack of objectivity
exactly
this guy is funny he isnt saying anything wrong about the camera. relax please and enjoy the time making fun of his hair lol
and voice. 😀
He is doing what he set out to do. Make it about him. That’s fine, but many people couldn’t care less about his hair and would rather focus on the camera. As others mentioned, though, it’s his right to do it and your right to not watch it if you don’t want to.
It seems he might be trying a bit too hard, but maybe that’s just me. I really would rather it focus on the camera, but find myself watching it regardless. I like watching the reaction of the people he runs up on to take a shot of (and the reaction of the people around him). Him running up to someone would probably irritate me if I was there though :/
He’s going to “take” some photos…
Do togs really “take” them… or do we “make” them?
I always enjoy Kai’s reviews. If you want something dry and technical, read dpreview. There is room for both.
His impressions of the 24mm are close to my own. I think it’s a solid performer, while not perfect. But it is by far the best E-mount lens currently available.
Who can tell me if the SEL24F18ZA is stabilized or not? I don’t see OSS in the specs on sonystyle.com. If it is not stabilized I will consider getting the SAL version instead.
I own one. It’s not stabilized. It’s a wide angle lens and it’s fast, so it doesn’t really need to be.
It was rumored to have a leaf shutter. Is this true ? Thanks.
Zeiss claims they won’t add optical stabilize in lens as this will have negative impact on image quality
I like the NEX 7 but not really the Zeiss. would Kai perform some manual lens test for this one? For hairstyle, go with e.
Does anyone know if this Zeiss 24mm 1.8 really has a leaf shutter ? I’ve been searching the Internet for reviews about the leaf shutter but no luck. Thanks.
wait … why would it have a leaf shutter when the shutter is in the camera?
I would like to express thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from this particular situation. Just after checking through the search engines and obtaining advice which were not helpful, I assumed my entire life was well over. Existing devoid of the approaches to the difficulties you have sorted out all through your site is a serious case, and the kind that might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not come across your blog post. Your own personal natural talent and kindness in touching almost everything was vital. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come across such a step like this. It’s possible to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time so much for the reliable and amazing help. I will not be reluctant to recommend your web page to anybody who would need direction about this situation.
