Think you have to invest in a Canon or Nikon digital SLR system if you want good glass? You thought wrong. Case in point – the top shelf Carl Zeiss lenses Sony makes for their Alpha DSLR system.

If you own the Carl Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom or Sony DSLR camera equipment, please write a review so other photographers can benefit from your experience. User reviews are the foundation of PhotographyREVIEW.com and we need your reviews!
