Fifteen months ago Sony announced that nice Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 but Sony never managed to produce enough lenses to fulfil the demand. According to top sources Sony finally found a way to increase the lens production and it’s expected to ship in large amount to EU and US stores in a few weeks. And destiny wants that today we had the very first price drop on that lens too! Sony authorized retailed Beachcamera is selling the lens with a $60 discount at Amazon (Click here) and on [shoplink 15680 ebay]eBay (Click to check it out)[/shoplink].
In Europe the lowest price I found was at Wex Germany (Click here). No real price drop in EU for now 🙁

600 $ price drop would be even more attractive…
I don’t mind high quality lenses being offered for a reasonable price, especially since cheaper alternatives are available these days like the Samyang/Rokinon 24mm t/1.5 Cine Lens for less than half the money. The era of whining-for-lenses should be definetly over.
It will be interesting to see whether the lenses are as good as the original batches, or better, or worse and…where will they be made?
I have found this lens for 796 CHF (800$, 665 euros) taxes included, on this swiss webstore: http://www.digitec.ch
It’s not a discount.
I bought mine in the beginning – for $999 (Amazon). Then it disappear from the shelves and they increased the price to $1099.
So I think it is still above it’s original price.
One thing is sure – This is a killer lens.
comparing it with the kit lens – HUGE difference in sharpness (and not only).

799€ , but not available 🙁
I preordered mine and I hope I get it before Christmas
I found it at the Airport in Amsterdam for 800€ this summer. Price-tag was 900€ but at the cash-desk they only wanted 800€. I did not complain 😉 It’s a superb lens! It’s on my camera for at least 90% of the time.
I seriously hope Sigma could make a 24mm, either F1.8 or F2.0. and sell it for <$400USD, will probably kill some sales for this Zeiss?
+1. Couldn’t agree more. It’s too bad there aren’t more companies exploring this market, and that Sigma doesn’t appear to have enough capacity.
Exactly. Their 19 and 30mm are great, but if they made a 24mm f/1.4 to compete with the Panasonic 24 and Zeiss 24 at the same time…wow. While we’re talking about 3rd parties making what they do well, will Tamron please make us a 17-50 f/2.8 VC?!
Even if they drop the price five times that ($300), it would still be insanely expensive.
Are you kidding? If they sold this lens for $300 they would be FLYING off the shelves.
What he meant was probably 5 price drops if $60 each. So current price minus $300.
That is what I meant, yes. I’d buy it for $600, but more than $700 is just crazy.
at Leica you pay 3000 or more for lenses without autofocus. So the Zeiss is actually a bargain!
they should pay you for taking this lens
Still would like a price drop of $100 or more. That would make it the same price it originally was when released.
Glad I bought mine when they were still $999. It’s a great lens.
bought mine at the airport in hong kong for 7990 HKD (roughly 800 euros).
LOVED it ever since and i’m using the lens 99% of the time on my NEX-5 (ye, still need to upgrade this one once i get proper funding xD).
