About the Sony SAL2470Z Carl Zeiss® 24-70mm f/2.8
Great zoom lens for low-light photography
Sony's SAL2470Z was designed for Sony's Alpha line of SLR digital cameras. Its focal range gives you moderate wide-angle to medium telephoto shooting. A large maximum aperture throughout the focal range means you'll get well-exposed photos, even when shooting in lower light with slower shutter speeds. Shoot group photos indoors without using a flash. And capture clear outdoor shots — whether the subject is friends on a hiking trail or the panoramic view from a mountaintop.

Features
Compatibility: This lens is compatible with the Sony Alpha-series digital SLR cameras.
Carl Zeiss T* Coating: The SAL2470Z lens features Carl Zeiss T* (T-Star) coating that virtually eliminates the lens flare, internal reflection, and light scattering that can occur at glass-to-air surfaces.
ED (Extra-low dispersion) Glass: Two ED glass elements minimize flare and reduce color abnormalities, giving you sharp and clear shots, even at full telephoto extension.
Lens Hood: The included lens hood allows for better shooting in bright light. A lens hood can be used to reduce flare in bright light areas to ensure maximum image quality.
Note: When using the built-in camera flash, make sure to remove the lens hood to avoid blocking the light from the flash.
Focus Mode: This lens is compatible with automatic and manual focusing. To use auto-focus, both the camera body and the Focus Mode switch on the lens must be set to auto-focus. To focus manually, set the camera body or the Focus Mode switch on the lens to manual focus and adjust the focus ring on the lens.
Focus Hold: While the Focus Hold button is pressed, auto-focus is suspended and the focus is fixed in that position.
Distance Information: The shooting distance scale, located on the barrel of the lens, is graduated in feet and meters from 1.1 ft. (0.34m) to infinity. For accurate manual focusing, look through the viewfinder while rotating the focusing ring.
