Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G Zoom E-Mount Lens, SEL2070G

This lens replaced the Sony "kit" lens that came with my new a7C II camera -- after a lot of research, my first foray into the mirrorless, full frame realm of cameras. Truth to tell, the kit lens lacked the sharpness I was looking for so the move to the 20-70mm f4 G has turned out to be a great move. While still early days with this setup, initial results have been impressive with the edge to edge sharpness I was looking for. This is also a quite versatile lens, handling wide shots with excellent clarity, as well as 70mm zoom duties -- also nice and crisp in a pretty wide variety of lighting situations. One unexpected bonus is the closeness of its abilty to focus, giving this lens really decent macro uses. I bought this camera for travel and, when I can justify the budget for another lens, plan to use this lens in combo with a 70-200mm zoom. Pretty excited to be able to cover over 90% of what I shoot with just two lenses! Thanks, Sony.

This lens is great as it is at F4 - If you have a great camera with super capability at low light then you would not want to even see this lens at F2.8 - bigger in size, heavier and more expensive.

The extra few millimeters gives you a wide range of creativity options, especially if you like to do landscapes like myself.. This replaced my. 24 to 70. Zeiss. from Sony. And this. lens is much quicker and sharper. Very. very pleased..

Have been using this lens a lot as I shoot a lot of Nature and Landscapes/cloudscapes/sunsets. One day next to a group of photographers, one turned the wrong way and knocked over my tripod+camera. I and everyone else thought the camera AND lens were goners BUT later when I got home, inspected well the damage. Camera okay. Lens okay. Seems camera hit lens first on cement pavement. The filter took the blunt of the impact and crushed filter glass + filter on that one impact point. Couldn't get the filter off at all as it was well-dented [see pixs], so removed the rest of the splintered glass and tested the lens for two days. NO problems, focuses well. Just wish it was not a manual aperture ring. Thanks for such a tough lens!!

I really appreciate the smaller size and weight compared with the 24-70 f2.8GM. The extra 4mm on the wide end are a big plus and the f4 aperture has not been a hindrance at all. I love this lens!

I'm new to Sony mirrorless cameras and jumped in the deep end with an A7RV. This lens was chosen for its relative compactness and suitability for travel and landscape photography. So far I'm impressed with how sharp are the images, which therefore allows me to crop from the 60 MP sensor. I've tried a few night shots (on a tripod) and been pleasantly impressed. And lastly the 20mm wide end does give me some great landscapes.

Great light weight Lens , that live my Gimbal . I wish it was a faster lens , but it works well with my A7S 3 .

This Camera was a "dream buy" for me. Canon didn't offer a considerable Military Discount, which was also important to me!

This is a very versatile lens for everyday use. It is small and convenient to use and produce high quality results
