1st time Sony user

This is my first Sony setup, the A7v body with a 24-70 lens. It won't be the last Sony dedicated lens I buy.

Compact and easy to carry good for indoors

Good for indoors and daily companion. Good wide angle and comparatively better zoom

Good value with a kit

Better than expected for the kit lens so long as you understand and work with its limitation. I will likely be replaced with something just a bit wider and a little bit longer in due course. Lightweight, so combined with the mirrorless bodies it's a relatively joy to carry. Just don't expect it to perform like the G Master series and you'll be fine.

For the price, it's really good

Considering that this is a so called "kit" lens, and doesn't cost a lot, it's remarkably good. If you are just getting used to your Sony camera, this lens is more than adequate to go through that stage and somewhat beyond. Definately a good lens to learn with.

Good all-rounder

I bought this lens as part of a kit. The images are sharp and the AF is fast and precise. The lens is very quiet too which I like.

Compact lens for the Sony A7 III Mirrorless Camera

This mid-range Sony zoom lens is a compact and easily portable companion for the new Sony A7 III full-frame, mirrorless camera. It is dust and moisture resistant making it ideal for wildlife photography. I have had great results with wedding shots, landscapes, and studio work all resulting in crisp, clear images across the frame.

Good Lens but not for landscapes or holiday photos

This lens has small issues 28mm wide open for the kit lens is useless the people that this lens is aimed at are people who take holiday photos and landscapes you may as well keep their money in their pocket and use your phone which is wider that this lens.

Versatile 28-70 all round lense

As I currently use all Sony equipment A7III and a A6400, I was looking for a small zoom lense that could be used in both my full frame and cropped sensor cameras. So far I?ve found it to be a sharp and precise lense without the normal high cost. I would highly recommend, whether taking portraits of landscape photographs.

Great value for money

I bought the lens because of its weight. The pictures are perfect for my use case. The quality is great. I've compared the lens with a similar Tamron, but the Sony is sharper.

Surprisingly Good Lens

For serious work, I use my A7RIV with G or G master lenses. I was looking for a lightweight lens for my A7C for carrying when I don't plan any photos. I dug the 28-70 lens out of my collection to test. I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised. The photo below was unedited with reduced file size for web.

Crafted for a wide array of photography styles, the 28-70mm focal length range is perfect for everything from expansive landscapes to intimate portraits and dynamic street photography.

Boasting a 7-blade circular aperture, the lens delivers exquisite bokeh, creating smooth, rounded background defocus that adds a professional quality to your images. This feature is particularly advantageous for portrait photographers who aim to isolate their subjects with a dreamlike, creamy background.

Optical brilliance is at the core of this lens, with three aspherical elements that effectively minimize various forms of distortion. Additionally, the ED glass elements are the secret to the lens's exceptional contrast, resolution, and color fidelity, ensuring that every image captures the true essence of the scene.
