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
Pros:It does what it has to do, which is the kit optics. Otherwise, if you are looking for performance, you have to buy an ad hoc one. Silent AF, pretty fast and accurate. Discrete quality at intermediate apertures (f/8-f/11) that degrades in a non-dramatic way to more open apertures. Superior flare resistance to other economic optics. Lightness and compactness Stable hood.
Cons:Quality nì, sufficient for a kit optics. Stabilizer really not very effective compared to other Sony Full-Frame OSS lenses. Rubber quality of the bass rings. Little three-dimensionality. Price if bought separately.
Opinion:It is a kit optics and, in my opinion, its quality is just as sufficient as you would expect. For an occasional amateur photographer, who may have switched to Full-Frame on a whim or because he has found an opportunity, I think it can also be fine. The problems arise precisely when you ask him for that something more on the sharpness / resolution front, prodondity or chromatic. Photos on the fly (e.g. events/parties) are not too bad, as are photos of people with American plan. If, on the other hand, you go to make a narrow portrait, a wildlife photo (for example a dog with a lot of hair) or a "deep" landscape you will notice its limits more. Even a 24-240mm Sony, often criticized, has a better sharpness and color rendering for the same mm. For the record, in my opinion the best yield is between f/8 and f/11, although I have not seen an abysmal difference with the most open apertures (if you can close, however, better). The autofocus system is valid, not excellent but certainly better than other cheap Sony lenses that I have tried. In addition, it is silent. The stabilizer, on the other hand, I found very ineffective. Personal tip: if you have an old camera or with a few MPx try it, it may be fine on certain occasions. Or if you buy a Sony camera for the first time and the KIT version does not cost you a mistake, it can be good to fiddle (if I am not mistaken the non-Sony lenses can not take advantage of the phase detection autofocus). Otherwise, especially if you have a modern camera with a lot of MPx, think of something "up to par".
Opinion:First lens for a7II, the only positive notes are that it is light and practical, at 70 it has little excursion and in the portrait it offers an excellent resolution the painful notes are noticeable in the landscape where it does not offer the same potential, a little flat and lacks that three-dimensionality that more expensive optical groups can give, unfortunately even the color rendering is not great even if it offers in some cases a good bokeh perhaps given by the potential of the car , it is not to be thrown away as a lens of salvation and for close-ups it is good
Opinion:It is not a kit lens, but a lens put in kits so as not to pay for waste disposal. With all this I keep it, because in the portrait, only in the range between one and a half meters and three meters away, thanks to its defects, starting from the aberration and the poor quality of the lenses, it churns out acceptable photos. To buy it would be crazy, because 'given the lower quality' of kit lenses of other companies, it should cost new less than 139 euros. Ok, having to put a lens in order to have a kit to offer, but if they put the 50mm fixed, which also costs less, those who buy the machine should not get away to immediately buy a decent lens. The proverb says that a caval donato does not look in the mouth, but this is just a pitcher.
Pros:Cost, size, weight, autofocus, sharpness in the center and stabilization
Cons:Sharpness at the edges, variability perhaps in the quality of the specimens
Opinion:I had two examples of this objective kit taken with a second-hand A7S. The first one was not good having differences between the right and left edge, with the left less sharp. Given back the first one that was made in china (but it is only a note not to say that all those made in China can be defective) I recently bought back a second always second hand and very little used that turns out to be made in Thailand and that instead does not suffer from this defect at just over 100 euros. Noticing that it is a kit lens and that you can not compare it to Zeiss or G Master I do not find it as poor as we read in many reviews, unless the negativity of some comments is due to poorly released specimens and therefore to poor quality control of the manufacturer. As a lens to be used every day, without pretensions of super brightness of the diaphragm and resolve at the edges, because in the center it is more than good, it does its good work coupled to the A7S sensor and you can get great results. I believe I will not sell it but I will keep it paired with the 7S because on certain occasions I can get good shots without loading my back, waiting to take an A73 or rather an A9 and flank it with a glass corresponding to the potential of the machine.
