    I’m glad I purchased this instead of the 24-70 GM 2. It’s much more compact and produces very high quality images.

    Love the size and G build lens with all the modern design details, aperture ring, function button etc. It’s a mini G master without the 70 reach on the long end but use your APSC mode to punch in. 2.8 throughout is great. I like to shoot mostly on the 50mm and 35mm end so the inverted zoom (the lens extends to get 24mn) is not an issue. Very happy with this lens that almost never leaves my A7iv.

    This has become my go-to lens for my A7C. I was going to get the GM but I'm glad someone suggested this to me. The size and weight is fantastic.

    2.0 out of 5 stars bad distortion in the corners
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2024
    I tried 2 copies of this lens, and the softness and distortion in the corners is very bad---the worst I've seen of the 10 or 12 Sony lenses I own. I'm surprised Sony produced a lens with this obvious flaw, uncorrectable with lens compensation in camera or in Lightroom/Camera Raw. I'm also surprised so many people find this acceptable, but it's a trade off for size/convenience. I'd rather carry a slower, larger lens with good quality edge-to-edge sharpness than get home with images with significant distortion.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Soft Image and Massive Distortion
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2024
    This lens gives you a beautiful soft image which proves that it’s a G lens. This is best used for portraits and pictures of objects/landscapes. This could also be a good video lens given its G quality IQ and light weight especially for gimbal users.

    The reason I returned was because -
    1. The IQ doesn’t allow me to crop like other Sony lenses do. It’s a little soft for cropping.
    2. The focal range always seemed limiting to me and I desired to go beyond 50 all the time. I already have a 35mm prime and this lens doesn’t do any justice with the limited focal range. I might go out with a 35 or 24 mm prime instead of this.
    3. The distortion at 24mm is massive. People who don’t shoot raw or only shoot video may never notice but something to keep in mind.

    Overall, if you need a light lens for travel or your only lens for the day or if you are a video shooter, this could be a good lens. For photographers- there are third party options to consider given the price which is lot more for what you get where third party manufacturers are offering good value lenses. Also it’s hard to justify this over a 24 or 35mm prime.

    4.0 out of 5 stars It's sharp lens
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024
    Overall, it is a very good lens with great sharpness and lightweight design. One thing I don't like is the zoom mechanism, the zoom range from 50 to 24 feels strange to me. ????
