    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.
