Pros: Size, weight, price, sharpness.

Cons: Anything that wouldn't allow you to get the pros mentioned above.

Opinion: If only it were brighter... if it were made of metal instead of plastic... if it had a longer focal range... It would be 3 times bigger and heavier and cost 5 times as much! When you buy it, you know what you're getting. Unfortunately you still can't have a lens that does everything. At least this one doesn't give up the quality of the image, it doesn't take anything used and it's very portable. Everything in life is a matter of priorities.

Pros: sharp over the entire focal range, compact, very light, fast AF, excellent flare resistance, good star, price (if taken as a kit or used)

Cons: limited focal range, no lens hood, new price (if the purchase is not made in kit)

Opinion: For a kit lens it is good and the purchase is definitely worth it if made at an affordable price (in kit) or second-hand (you can take it home with about 200/250 euros); Buying the lens alone (as a stand-alone optic) at full price, in my opinion, doesn't make sense. I have listed the strengths and weaknesses above; In particular, the real flaw, in my opinion, lies in the limited focal range. It has a more than good sharpness over the entire (albeit limited) focal range and has a really good resistance to flare. The construction is "plasticky", but I don't feel like including this feature among the defects - on the contrary it contributes to the excellent lightness of the lens. Recommended if taken at the right price (200-250 eur). Rated 9.

Pros: Small and very sharp

Cons: A bit dark but if used with modern cameras it doesn't weigh as much

Opinion: Small and compact, the release of the lens is a bit peculiar, in addition to the fact that it is small and pocket-sized I was surprised by the sharpness of the final result, the only compromise is the fact that it is a little dark but so compact it could not be done better, the lens is tropicalized so you do not risk dirtying it a little extra gem that made me re-evaluate it

Pros: Optical quality, price quality, weight

Cons: Vignetting sometimes very heavy, lens release

Opinion: The lens itself is not bad at all, with a Sony Alpha 7S (which therefore has its age) it works great. The lens has good quality, it is very light. At 28mm obviously it is not an extreme wide angle, but I personally like this focal length a lot. The opening is obviously not the best, but those who take this lens look for a low weight and a good overall quality. I use it in the mountains and during my excursions I honestly forget the camera in my backpack thanks to the low weight. However, there are downsides: unlocking the lens and vignetting. I don't like unlocking, it gives me the idea of having a "short life", and the sound it gives me as a return makes me a bit scary but probably they are my fisime. Vignetting, on the other hand, is the worst defect of this lens: with any filter at shorter focal lengths, up to about 35mm, and at medium diaphragms closed, the lens vignettes so much that it is difficult to reduce the defect in post. I haven't tried slim filters yet, although mine is really thin, but I'm afraid that the situation will not change. From 35mm onwards the problem disappears. On the positive side, however, there is one aspect: the lens has a tiny diameter and therefore the filters cost very little. Ultimately, for those looking for a good lens, lightweight and who wants to spend little, this lens is probably the best possible choice in the Sony landscape.

Pros: Compact, sharp, economical

Cons: No hood, it's only a 2x

Opinion: The objective is very compact and I think this is its greatest merit. Combined with the 6400 were a fabulous pairing. Now, sold the 6400 is in combination with the a7iv. I bought it new at 250 € and I think it was a good buy. I also appreciate the sharpness, the coverage of the entire sensor without creating showy vignetting typical of "cheap" lenses and the absence of showy flares. On the other hand I want to point out the fact that it is sold without a hood (I bought a magnetic hood, a "cinesata" the JJC-LH-S2860 from a few euros but functional) and that this lens is only a 2x, therefore competing with brighter fixed, performing but more expensive!
