Good lens with nice image quality, albeit you're often at F5.6 due to the variable aperture. Definitely worth the price, though.

The Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS is a very competent, if unspectacular, standard zoom lens for the Sony A7R/A7 full-frame compact system cameras. It delivers excellent sharpness in the centre of the frame almost throughout its aperture range, even performing well wide-open, although you'll need to...

The lens was of great value, specifications that were perfect for my day-to-day use as I'm a beginner at photography. I specifically spend my time doing vlogs and focusing on my latte art.

this ens is awesome you can even take some good astrophotography with for a kit lens is perfect totally recommended

I am not sure whether to blame the lens or the very short flange distance on the FF Sony cameras for the poor performance that this lens shows away from the image center. I tried two copies with the Sony A7 II and they were both similarly poor.

Very soft away from the image center

The Sony FE kit lens: it's an option that's bundled with the A7 lineup of cameras and will satisfy the needs of the general shooter. In many cases, the will best meet the needs of the A7 and A7r lineup of users if you want better sharpness.

Great Lens for my Sony Alpha A7S

Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

I have both Zeiss FE 35 and Zeiss FE 55. This lens is no Zeiss. You can't shake the feeling that you are working with a cheap plastic toy. With this said, if you work within its limitations, it is a more than a reasonable carry around zoom.

Light; decent image quality @24mm; OSS; weather sealed

Feels cheap; tele-photo end very slow (F5.6

When it comes to publicity and excitement, we are usually talking about lenses such as the Zeiss 24-70mm f/4 OSS or Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM. However, in sheer sales volume, it is quite likely that the low-profile Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is first in line.

Surprisingly like the 24-70mm it is "Dust and moisture-resistant design". Nice touch for a value lens. The lens barely extends at all during its full zoom sweep. Not internal zoom technically, but as close as you could get. Small and light. Silent focus.
