Is the new Sony FE 24-70 F4 ZA OSS – Zeiss – The Best 24-70 lens Ever? For years my Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 has been my go-to lens for my Nikon D700 but could this new Sony lens on the A7r replace that powerful combination? The advantages to this new Sony/Zeiss 24-70 lens are smaller size, lighter weight and built-in OSS which is Sony’s stabilization method of choice. IMO the OSS makes up for the F4 aperture and with the great high-ISO capabilities of the Sony A7r F4 should be fast enough for an event coverage lens which IMO is the best use of the 24-70 focal range.
