Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 N is a auto focus prime zoom lens for full frame cameras.
Optical design
Has 7 aperture blades, mid-grade lenses usually have this amount of blades. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle.Physical characteristics
With a lens filter diameter of 82 mm lens filters in this range can be expensive, purchase lens - and filter - only if you plan to keep them for long time, make a try with used ones. Weights 570 grams so plan ahead, carry only if really necessary. 81 mm long, requires consideration if you want to carry in the camera bag.Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 N purchase history
