I recently purchased a used SAL2470Z (Sony Zeiss Vario Sonnar 2.8/24-70 ZA T* SSM) that did not include a lens hood. According to the Sony website, the correct hood for this lens is ALC-SH101. I ordered a used hood from B&H; however, the lens hood (with the model number ALC SH101 clearly marked on the hood) does not fit. The diameter is too large. Anyone have any idea what the correct hood number is for this lens?

Thanks for the information. The lens is not f4; it's f2.8. Here's the exact lettering on the lens: Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 2,8/24-70 ZA T* SSM. 

I read on a site, which of course I didn't bookmark, that others have experienced this problem, and that perhaps Sony has the wrong information posted. 

In the meantime, I'll use a cheap screw tulip lens hood. Getting that on Friday. As long as there's no problem with vignetting, I'll have to live with that. 

Thanks again.

There were 2 different models of SAL2470 ( 24-70mm F 2.8 Zeiss lenses for A-Mount). Not to confuse with E- Mount SEL2470Z (which is f4) and SEL2470GM which is 2.8 GM

- Model 1 (SAL2470Z) would require ALC-SH101

- Model 2 (SAL2470Z2) would require ALC-SH130

 

What model number is inscribed right by the serial number at the bottom of the lens barrel close to the lens mount ?

Thanks for the response; however, the lens model number is SAL2470Z, for which the ALC-SH101 should fit. It doesn't. 

See attached photo (cellphone; sorry for quality). Perhaps Sony mislabeled the hood?

Your shade appears to be missing the beveled part that has the bayonet mounting

Here pics from some eBay sellers for ALC-SH101

      ISO Bracketing

      By popeye10 · Posted

      Thank you XKAES  and Pieter for responding to my query. Since my post, I figured out what I was doing wrong, and now I am getting more predictable results. To answer a few questions, I am using a Sony A7R5, and am aware that it is ISO invariant, however at least for what I've tried, there are limits to how much you can "push" exposure in post. I am doing some night/astrophotography and when I set iso to 400, and increase exposure in post, I get more noise in dark foreground areas than if I use a higher iso in camera when I increase exposure 4 stops or more. I wanted to do iso bracketing so that I could further compare the results and choose the settings that gave me the best results. I had hoped that I could set the minimum iso to 320 and take 3 or more images at 2 stop increments, but I now doubt that's possible. Since the camera is choosing iso based on the light it detects, it may or may not start at 320. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

      Video files won't transfer

      Thank you @Cameratose. I have tried Shotcut and it seems I can work with the video. I still don't understand why this works and yet iMovie does not. But happy to have a work around and I will keep learning. Thanks for your help.

      ISO Bracketing

      By Pieter · Posted

      Out of pure curiosity: why would you want to shoot a bracket using ISO as your means to control exposure? Sony cameras are virtually ISO invariant (save for the second gain step), so raising ISO in camera or in post-production yields nearly identical results. Most people shoot bracketed exposures to gain detail in over- and underexposed areas, but when you use ISO as your exposure variable, you might as well just create the bracket in post by raising/dropping exposure. You don't gain any dynamic range that way.
