A very versatile lens indeed. Great focal range, weather sealed and image stabilization built in. F/4 helps keep the weight, size and price of the lens down. This is a great travel lens or wedding lens if you pair it with a fast prime like Sony's 50mm 1.2 GM. Great build quality, feels solid. I highly recommend this lens.

Not all that sharp. Seems well made. Functions well. Pictures are decent, but not much better than the cheaper kit lens, the 28-70mm. The GM is better...even the original GM 24-70mm is better. You get what you pay for. If you thought this would be a bargain...you were fooled.

Super crispy lens with a lot of useful focal lengths. Large but still reasonable to throw in a backpack. The rings aren't as smooth as my SEL1635G or SEL70300G but it feels much better than a tamron, and OSS is incredible - I can freehand shots down to 1/6s if I'm very steady. Distortion is significant but corrected for in software.

Great all-around lens for shooting both photography and video. This is the workhorse lens for Sony cameras. If you can only have one lens, this is it.

Great range for 80% of the photos I take when traveling. Heavier than some other lenses, like the 24-70, but I'm willing to carry the extra weight (8 oz.) for the extra focal length.
