Review Summary

The Sony 28-70 F2 is an incredible lens. It's actually a lot lighter than it looks it's a great option. If you do not want to carry a bunch of primes for photography great cause you're beautiful look it's clean, but it has some character and for video. It's amazing because there's very minimal breathing so your breathing compensation does not have to be on which buys you some room to be a 28 mm but still if you'd like to shoot wide, I would still consider getting a GM 24mm 1.4 to go with this lens. This lens is expensive but when you consider what it does, you actually save a lot of money and space in your kit you could easily run around with just this one lens and not feel bogged down by carrying a bag full of primes.

It is a valued addition to my tool box.Great for keeping the ISO down when you don't need a wide angle in a tight space. clear and sharp

Great overall! Surprisingly balanced and does not feel too heavy. I handheld this with the A7R V around NYC for a full day with no problem. Very sharp, close in terms of my 35mm 1.4 GM but to have zoom at f2 is wonderful and convenient.

It is an amazing do-it-all lens that I am super pleased with. Having f2 in a zoom lens makes it perfect for low-light wedding and event photography. This is a great middle ground between fast primes and versatile zoom lenses. The only downside for me is the heavy distortion at 28 mm. Hopefully soon there will be a lens profile correction for lightroom and some in camera distortion fix for video.

My only fault is that this lens really should have been a 24-70 f2. This is what the wedding market wanted. For weddings that extra 4mm can be crucial. I could have lived with the extra weight. This is the only reason I would not give it 5 stars
