Have only had this lens for a short time, but I'm impressed! Very sharp, and really nice bokeh. It's a little bigger, heavier, and pricier than I would like, but totally worth it for the image quality it produces. I use this on an A7II. Have read complaints about the lens hood being plastic, but that is a non issue for me, it's well made and does the job. I ignore the info window on top, also the subject of much discussion online. Would definitely recommend this lens to anyone looking for a quality wide angle.

I was contemplating a quality prime wide-angle lens for creative work. The choice was between the Sony 28mm f/2.0 and the Batis 25mm f/2.0. The proven quality of Zeiss lens design and coatings justified the extra expense. I very often use the 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss lens and a focal length of 25mm is ideal. So far I am impressed with build quality, operation, sharpness and contrast. Definitely a keeper for the long-haul.

I had the Zeiss Batis 25mm in the past, I replaced it by a Sony 24mm 1.4 GM. And I missed the Zeiss rendering, so I bought the Batis again :) The Sony GM is sharper and has better handling with all the functions on the barrel. But when I looked at my past pictures created with the Zeiss Batis, I found them better in colour. It's like they have a character and a contrast that no other lens can achieve. So for me, sharpness and smooth bokeh is not everything. The feeling in the picture is. The Zeiss pop I guess :)

The micro contrast is beautiful. Love love love. I also have the batis 85mm and the build quality of the zeiss batis is very very good

As far as I can tell thusfar this lens is in perfect condition. As far as mm I prefer the 85mm, but need a wide angle as well for video and getting close with a prime lens.

I love Zeiss glass. The Images are super sharp and the blurred background it gives are the best.
