Sony Zeiss 24-70mm 2.8 SSM News

Today I learned that despite higher than average efforts by the Sony production facility, the new Sony Zeiss 24-70 2.8 SSM is currently selling faster than it can be produced. The production facility has been re-gearing quickly so that it can keep up with the higher than expected demand, and delays are expected to be kept to a minimum.

The Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f2.8 SSM large aperture lens is a professional's tool, from the price to its overall performance. Complete with a fast 2.8 max aperture thru the entire zoom range, Zeiss *T Coatings, two Aspherical and two ED glass lens elements that help eliminate flare and CA distortions, and a super fast and ultra quiet internal focusing motor, all add up to one serious lens. The Carl Zeiss 24-70 was tested on the Sony A700 and the Sony A350(See our image sample galleries).
