Sony NEX CZ 24mm F/1.8 review

Posted by Kurt on January 30, 2012 in Reviews

I’ve completed the Sony NEX CZ 24/1.8 lens review, and it’s available on the old site.  I’m still working on the right lens review format and width issues for this site, (I won’t be able to have the wide crop tables on the bottom like you see on the current review format), so you’ll have to hop back and forth for the next couple of weeks until I finalize things.

Here’s a little tid-bit that will make some people mad: I’m glad I don’t have the Sony 35/1.4 G lens anymore, if I would’ve compared the Sony 35mm F/1.4 G using the A900, and the NEX CZ 24mm F/1.8 using the NEX-7 at apertures of F/1.8-4, the 35mm F/1.4 G would literally look like it was focused improperly, there would be that much difference at those apertures!  Both cover the same area and have the same megapixels, so it’s a fair comparison.

Believe it or not; I’d prefer this combo (NEX-7 and 24/1.8) to the A900 with either the CZ 24/2 SSM or 35/1.4 G, even if they both cost the same, why?  The NEX-7 and CZ 24/1.8 performs better than the A900 with either of the two lenses mentioned.  Plus, I don’t like the bulk and weight of the full frame equipment, I enjoy traveling light, even if it’s just across town.  Yes, the times are a changin’….we headin’ in the right direction!
