What’s the difference between a Sony Zeiss lens ...
What’s the difference between a Sony Zeiss lens and Sony G master lens? Thank you Which is sharper?
They are both excellent lenses. the G master is a 1.4 vs the 55mm 1.8. The 55mm is also smaller and lighter. And it costs about a third the price. So I suppose the real question here is -is the 55mm a comparable lens. The answer is - if you don't mind the lack of an aperture ring, MF/AF switch and function button - then you should take a serious look at the 55mm because its image quality is truly amazing - especially at this price point, size and weight.

question
Will this work on a7r or rII?
Yes any lens with an E mount will work on the a7 series cameras. The FE in the name of the lens signifies it as an e -mount for a F ull frame sensor cameras, like the a7 series. The crop sensor lenses (lenses with just E not FE in the name), will also work pn the a7 cameras but will be cropped and have a vignette/shadow on the pictures due to the bigger sensor on the a7 series cameras.

question
Is there a way to set the focus distance from meters to feet on this lens? I am using it on the the AR7II. I cannot find a menu setting to change that anywhere. I know on the Batis lenses one can turn the focussing ring but that does not work on this lens. I am trying to figure out hyperfocal distances and I do have an app but I find it difficult to keep switching back to meter distances.
Unfortunately, it does not appear that this is a possible function using this lens.

question
Why no OSS on this lens?
Note IBIS (in body stabilization) is only available on the most recent/newer (Mark 2) A7 cameras like the A7R2, A7ii, and A7S2 which are at least 2000-3500 in cost. The first gen A7 cameras dont have IBIS. Usually you only need OSS when using a long/telephoto lens of 70mm or greater due to the increase in shake when zoomed in farther. Wide and normal lenses from 10 to 55 mm usually dont need extra stabilization as long as your shutter speed is above 1/125 sec or higher

Am thinking of buying a Sony a7CR or a7C ii. Because this is an older lens, is it up to resolving the newest Sony sensors?
The Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Lens is an amazing lens, and can definitely hold up with higher megapixel cameras such as the Sony A7R.

question
Is this Lens compatible with the Sony FS700?
Yes, and it will work fabulously. I use it on my a7s as well, gives wonderful images w/o having to pay a lot of $ for Cinema lenses
