The difference between genuine Zeiss and Sony Zeiss, the difference between genuine Zeiss and Sony Zeiss.

Sony's reflex-free/SLR cameras have always been ridiculed as more cameras than lenses, but there is no doubt that Sony still has a strong group of high-quality lenses, Zeiss lenses built by its ally Zeiss, and Sony Sotsai lenses authorized by Zeiss. This leads to an identification problem: both Zeiss lenses are hung with a small blue label of Zeiss. What's the difference between them? The official blog of Zeiss recently gave an authoritative and systematic answer:

Sony is a giant in the consumer electronics industry, and Zeiss has rich experience in optics, so the cooperation between the two companies can achieve a win-win situation, which is the premise of cooperation between Sony and Zeiss. In terms of products, both the original Zeiss lens and Sony-authorized Suocai lens were designed by Zeiss, but the original Zeiss lens was completely planned by Zeiss from the initial planning of focal length, specifications and optical characteristics, while Suocai lens was jointly planned by Sony and Cai. There are two kinds of original Zeiss lenses: manual focusing and automatic focusing, while Suocai is an automatic lens.

The biggest difference between original Zeiss and Sosay is the place of origin. Zeiss photographic lens is manufactured by a partner designated by Zeiss Japan, and Zeiss focal plane is produced in Oberkochen, Germany. On the other hand, Sony is looking for factories to make Socai lenses all over Asia. Zeiss said that no matter where the lens is produced, as long as it is marked with a small blue label, it will strictly follow the quality requirements of Zeiss and use the optical inspection tools developed by Zeiss to carry out inspection before production. Zeiss will also send staff to Sony factory regularly to check the production procedures and management system.

From the official introduction of Zeiss, it seems that the original Zeiss lens and Sony Zeiss lens are the differences between Zeiss manufacturing and Zeiss design. As a small blue label, whether Suocai is Zeiss or not, you readers should have reached a conclusion by now, right?

The above is the introduction of Zeiss. Zeiss officials tell you the difference between genuine Zeiss and Sony Zeiss. I hope it helps you!
