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
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
