I have bought this Lens (FE PZ28-135 F4 G OSS) to add to my Sony FS7 Cine kit. Not only does the E mount fit and support well on the camera and lens, but operation so far appears to be very high end. Not to mention how good the system now looks

the functionality and build quality is superb The focus and zoom is smooth and accurate. Sony seems to have a sense of humour too. ( the 95mm drinks cap for a lens cap ) that's honestly the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

this lens is great to use for its intended purpose. I have also used for picture if used on the A7 series.

I love this lens,,,i have a a7s and this lens was made for this camera. I would really recommend this lens if your want to use it for filming videos. One of the best lenses if not the best in my opinion at this time... It has a great zoom in and its really quiet lens.

The image is worth the price, but only if you are shooting video journalism or still angles. Unfortunately for my style of shooting (cinematic on a budget) this lens zoom speed is much too fast even on the "slow" setting. If I am going to pay more money than, for example, Sony's power zoom SELP18200 lens, I'm going to want it to be better than the SELP18200 lens. So I was expecting that I could make the servo zoom on this lens more cinematic and slow, for super slow creeps in and out - isn't that a primary thing everyone wants in a servo zoom? The speed of this servo reminds me of 1990s camcorders to be honest. But the image is pretty. So maybe use this fancy servo zoom lens as a primary lens?

I bought this lens at Best Buy after reading too many reviews and good things about it . Today after Two weeks is my first day that I am trying to learn and read how to use it , So Far so good with my a6600 Camera and my Sony PXW-FS5M2 where I purchased it specially for my fs5m2 . I love taking movies but still learning did not have too much chance to learn on how to set my Camcorder but it all takes time for a beginner like me!!!! But I highly recommend this lens and all Sony products , Never Sony let me down always I was lucky with hundreds of Sony items I bought.

I used to use nothing but primes. Ever zoom lens I've tried in the past was too squishy for my taste. Then just before I traveled this year I read some very good reviews about this lens being an excellent still lens. I decided to give it a try. I am so happy I did. This lens is great for travel! Never once in the two weeks I was away did I take this lens off my A7R. The ability to make the aperture clickable sets this lens apart from many cine lenses. I put some pictures up with this, but bear in mind that these are just quick compressed renders uploaded from my phone and not the full resolution shots. You'll get the idea though. Of course the double bonus here is that if you happen to hit that video record button, you are going to take some great video as well. This lens is extraordinarily versatile!

I really like this lens. Very clear and the zoom is very smooth. Not the fastest zoom but acceptable. Lens construction appears to be very durable and is represented by the weight of lens. Control are easy to reach.

As a single lens solution for video and photographic use then you should definitely have this on your short list. Yes, the lens is big and heavy, but it takes gorgeous pictures and even better video. Focus is reliable especially if using centre area mode as I always do. Low light is excellent and the resolution of the pics on my Sony a7 II is extraordinary. I find the power zoom spot on for video work; and the aperture ring is such a useful feature. It pulls focus well too. My only wish (if it were possible) would be to keep the quality of the lens but with a slightly longer telephoto range - oh and a macro function too! Ok, crazy wishes but who knows.... I am an amateur enthusiast and I have taken lens skiing, to the arctic, summer in the med and city shoots around Europe. It has never lost a beat in my 18 months of ownership. I hate the weight when travelling - but I couldn't go abroad without it :)

This lens has a wonderful range from 28mm to 135mm, with a quality exceeding most zoom and many prime lenses. A heavy lens, which reflects it's Image quality. Since buying the 28-135 Power Zoom, It has been attached to my A7R MK2, and has met all my video and still photo needs since. The Aperture ring and zoom make it a very fast set up to use, never missing a shot.

add to the uncompleted review The only thing left is for Sony to give it a deserving and strong front lens cover to replace the thin plastic disposable teacup cover that comes with it.

I use this with my FS 700R before this lens I used all cano f2.8 lenses and was very happy with their preformance. So far I haven't taken this lens of camera since it arrived. Love it! It's totaly manual or full auto Great product great results. Only thing I'd change is to F2.8 or better!

I have owned this lens since it came out. It is large but on my shoulder rig it feels right at home. Being able to reach up and control focus and iris is fantastic. On the A7s the range from wide to tight is good for me. The zoom is not mechanical so you cannot do a snap zoom. However you can use it for on camera zooms. That is the only reason for the four stars. I use it primarily for ENG style shooting and truly love it for that. My Zeiss Pola will work with the lens hood that Sony provides and I have a Varri ND filter for it that will not work with the supplied hood. This truly feels like a real film or ENG styled lens to me and I would recommend it.

Purchased for wildlife and steam railways filming. For the former, I found 'all manual' settings to be ideal. For the latter, autofocus plus manual zooming and aperture seemed to work well. Great to have the choice of options! The 28-135mm lens range covered most of my needs. A couple of times I used the in-camera crop sensor mode, which effectively added 50% to the focal length.

DREAM VIDEO LENS...
By John B.
This is a superb lens. There is nothing else to say.
Full-frame shooting produces great results when combined with this Sony 28-135mmf/4 camera lens. This powered zoom lens is ideal for shooting videos thanks to its host of features that ensure super-quiet focusing and steady zooming. It starts with a constant f/4 circular aperture that maintains exposure throughout the entire zoom range, so you don't have to adjust lighting levels on the fly. When it's fully open, it has a circular aperture, creating rounded defocused points of light for smooth bokeh.
This Sony 28-135mm f/4 camera lens alsohas an ultra-quiet wave motor so that the noise of zooming doesn't appear on thevideo soundtrack. Quiet floating motors are also used for the aperture and autofocus, and because they are contactless, there are no gears or couplings that create sounds.
When you use this movie lens, take advantage of the SteadyShot image stabilization, which uses gyro sensors to precisely compensate for hand shake and vibrations. This produces a clearer image, one that remains sharp. In addition, the internal focusing mechanism ensures the end of the camera doesn't rotate, which is ideal when you're using a polarizing filter. Extra-low dispersion glass, Nano AR coatings and aspherical lens elements ensurethis Sony 28-135mm f/4 camera lens reduces ghosting, flare and chromatic effects.
The Sony 28-135mm F4 Full-frame E-mount Power Zoom Lens has been created to satisfy professional optical and operational requirements for high-quality movie imagery, including 4K, when matched with a 35mm full frame format camera such as the alpha7S or a Super 35 format camcorder such as the PXW-FS7. Focus breathing and zoom image shift have been reduced to an absolute minimum, while aspherical elements and advanced multi-coating technology effectively suppress aberration. Quiet operation is also a priority, so an SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) drive system has been employed for precise, quiet zooming. Independent control rings for zoom, focus and iris using physical stops are provided for the first time into an E-Mount an lens. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization adds to the extraordinary performance of this outstanding lens which is supporting a constant F4. Zoom range increases to 42-202.5mm when using the lens on an APS-C or Super 35 camera.
35mm full frame imagery
Precision optical design supports top-quality 4K production with minimum angle of view variation while focusing and axial displacement while zooming.
F4 OSS with extendable zoom range
The SELP28135G has minimum focus of 0.4 m (AF) / 0.95 m (MF) and has extended zoom range of 42-202.5mm when used on an APS-C or S35 camera.
High speed operation with independent control rings
High-end operation and feel inherited from Sony professional equipment. Three control rings for iris, focus and zoom offer manual control for demanding large format production.
Quiet operation
The world's first SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) drive in a lens designed for moviemaking achieves quiet zoom and extra-smooth iris control.
Lightweight and compact
Compact, lightweight design that is also dust and moisture resistant is ideal for situations that require mobility plus reliability.
Superb 35mm full frame imagery
This top-quality powered zoom lens for 35mm full frame format cameras has been created to satisfy professional moviemaking requirements, including the high resolution 4K format. Angle of view variations while focusing (breathing) and axial displacement while zooming have been reduced to an absolute minimum and aspherical elements work with advanced multi-coating technology to effectively suppress all types of aberration.
Three independent control rings
Independent control rings for zoom, focus and iris (aperture) are provided for the first time in an alpha lens and the focus mode can be switched from auto to manual simply by sliding the focus ring forward so control is maintained at all times. Zoom speed can be precisely controlled over a wide range, with zoom rotation direction reversal capability. All three control rings have been engineered to provide ideal torque for comfortable, responsive operation. Even the pitch of the scalloping on the rings has been painstakingly designed for comfortable, slip-free control.
Quiet operation
An SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) drive system has been employed for precise, quiet zooming. Focus noise has been minimized by reducing the weight of the focus element group and driving it with a responsive linear motor. Smooth, quiet iris operation also contributes to enhanced usability.
Compact design and dust and moisture resistant
Compact dimensions and reduced weight are an advantage in shooting situations that demand maximum mobility and built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization adds to the extraordinary cost/performance of this high performance lens.
