Although overshadowed by its more pricey, and glamorous sibling, the Zeiss 24-70mm f4 OSS , this also stabilized 28-70mm f3.5-5.6 OSS model looks like an attractive option. It’s not quite so wide of course and it’s 1 stop slower at the longer end but it’s 1/3 stop faster at the wide end and it its...
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 Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS ($499.99 list) is the first zoom lens available for Sony's full-frame mirrorless camera system. It has the same limitations as most kit lenses, including some very noticeable distortion and soft edges at wider apertures.
Good center sharpness; Optically stabilized design
Lots of distortion at wide and telephoto ends; Soft edges unless stopped down
The Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS ($499.99 list)($398.00 at Amazon) is the first zoom lens available for Sony's full-frame mirrorless camera system. It has the same limitations as most kit lenses, including some very noticeable distortion and soft edges at wider apertures. It's a decent starter lens, but if you can forgo a zoom until its February release, the Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS ($1,199.99) promises to live up to the image quality of which the Alpha 7 and 7R($999.99 at Amazon) are capable, but its asking price is comparatively high. The lens is on the large size compared to similar kit zoom for APS-C SLRs, but is pretty light. It measures 3.3 by 2.9 inches (HD) and weighs 10.4 ounces. Despite being a little on the large size, it balances well with the A7 and A7R, even without the addition of a vertical shooting grip. A reversible petal lens hood is included and 55mm filters are supported. It does extend a bit when zooming, but only by about a half inch at the...
