Pros: Very compact and lightweight

Cons: Sufficient optical performance, wide side worsens at the edges when the aperture is closed

Opinion: I write from memory because I resold it almost 6 years ago. I bought it in Kit with the Sony A7 in 2017. I kept this system only for two years, at the time I took the A7 because I needed a FF mirrorless to use with vintage lenses, and there was only that, but I always had Nikon as a kit. As soon as I came out the Z6 I bought it with the 24-70 f/4 and sold the A7 with the lens in question. I remember that it was very compact, even compared to the Nikon 24-70 which is also considered almost pocket-sized. The optical performance is not in the least comparable to the Nikon, but more for the merits of the latter. I confirm that my sample was affected by the strangeness that another user reported: at 28mm the edges worsened when the aperture was closed. An honest kit lens that I wouldn't buy after market

Pros: lightness and stabilization.

Cons: He doesn't excel at anything.

Opinion: Classic versatile kit optic light but does not excel in anything, useful on the road if you don't have better. Honestly, I don't find it as bad as many describe it, probably because unfortunately I have never had premium lenses. Despite everything, it still proves to be useful and with an acceptable photographic quality, so if you don't have great pretensions, it is a lens that can be good for many photographic situations. Needless to say, if you want more quality you have to change it.

Pros: nothing. Perhaps stabilization.

Cons: all

Opinion: The worst lens I've ever seen. As an amateur for years it made me lose the desire to shoot, until I decided to take the Zeiss 35 1.4 and the Sony G 90 2.8 macro that made me rediscover what you can get out of a camera. The Nikkor 18-55 kit? In another universe as a surrender, optically there is no story, it wins by a very large distance. I had a Samsung S10+ that shot in raw files better than the 28-70 sony, the S23 ultra that I have now needless to say, they too win by a great margin and we are talking about mobile phones, the first even from 2019. The construction is a plastic abomination, the rubber of the ferrules seems to be recycled from used shoe soles, in fact today it is bleached just by staying inside the camera bag. Total absence of contrast, the landscapes are ultra-compressed, the colors suck, sharpness not even reached f / 8, the photographic quality is similar to that which could be obtained from a disposable Kodak of 2000 if not worse, the uses in which this lens can be used the same, or at most the photos for a sinister observation. Rather than taking this lens shoot with your mobile phone, really, you will get a higher quality in less space. I wonder what such a kit lens does with top-of-the-line cameras, seriously do they dare to offer it with the A7 IV? Like taking a Ferrari and putting the wheels of the Coop trolley in the place of the Pirellis. Save yourself the 200 euros difference and invest them instead in the 50 1.8 sony, at least you won't have an ornament to worry about just how to get rid of it. For those who say: "eh but at 50 euros used..." - no, I wouldn't even want it as a gift, rather I shoot with the S23 ultra.

Pros: Lightweight, precise and stable zoom ring, lens hood, stabilizer.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Excellent lens, if you know how to use it churns out excellent photos, exceptional in b/w. It seems very, very underrated to me. It's not a lens for resolution geeks for 100% cropped corner observatories, rather it's a lens for photographers who take care of the hard work and look at the photo in full screen without zooming in on the details, that's if you take pictures of it and don't test it's fine, all of it benefits the price in the second-hand market, It can be found at ridiculously low prices.

Pros: Nothing... or yes come on... stabilization if you are without alternatives and nn you have better

Cons: All...

Opinion: Ugly cumbersome sharpness to say the least embarrassing I hope that the designer is not a samurai otherwise his honor will impose drastic choices ... It's one of the scarcest goals I've ever had... In comparison, a 30-year-old panagor, is a masterpiece of optics... Why so much bewilderment? Because it is a lens with a quality that could be expected in the 80s not now I swear I have a zoom of the cimko that in comparison is a masterpiece of optics and in addition is 3.5-4.5 ... obvious nn is autofocus but so much nn use the sony on the A7 but pentax and contax manuals Ultimately vote 1
