While the size and cost of this lens can't be ignored, the quality and versatility also stand out. I normally post pictures, but there are already tons of sample pictures out there. Pros - The image quality is excellent and paired with the A7RIII, I was able to get some really great shots - The build quality seems very sturdy, and my copy of the lens seems to be very good (which may speak to quality control by Sony) - The zoom ring is quite firm, which keeps the lens from creeping. - Nice to have the zoom lock feature when you need it - Nice and sharp wide open, and throughout the zoom range (You can see a difference wide open at the end of the zoom range, but the photos are still very good) - After shooting a little with this lens, and taking about 100 pictures, very few of them had any chromatic aberration. In post, I only needed to correct for this in a few photos. Cons - The size and weight are quite significant, and pretty much take away any size advantage that the mirror-less A7RIII might have had over another DSLR - The focus is by wire, so you don't get the same smooth focus-ring feel. - While the A7RIII has IBIS, I would really like to see image stabilization here for the cost and size - Speaking of price... $$$ Conclusion If you are looking for a pro lens, and don't mind carrying it around, then this lens is great. Extremely sharp for a zoom and correcting any chromatic aberration, or lens distortion was easily handled in Lightroom. If you are looking to get a standard zoom for your Sony mirror-less, this is a great option.

Good product

Obiettivo eccezionale, sono anni che lo uso e non mi ha mai deluso. É l'obiettivo da avere per forza, versatile, veloce e di ottima qualità. Non esco mai senza, é perennemente montato sulla mia camera.

Added photos and comments March 15: the weight feels quality! Not a burden. superb colour, striking resolution, balanced light and dark areas. It is perfect all around, if you have only one lens to go, this is it! Purple never comes back... why??? Added comments March 11, 2021 - It has been 6 months with this lens. I have found more issues with it. Purple fringing is quite obvious and it cannot be corrected. It often happens when there is a big light contrast. But it could happen in the evening low light and the entire frame is clouded with purple. They cannot be corrected. After all, it is not a bad lens and is one of the most balanced high quality original. If I have to compare it (unfairly) against my Summilux 35mm, LOL - I would want to just throw this one in the bag. I bought this lens to match my new A7R4. It is a perfect match and the most versatile. On the heavy side. But it feels very substantial and solid made. It covers city and landscape shooting, and meets 90% of the needs. If I bring just one lens on my camera and take a drive around town or nearby cities, it is this lens. If I have the appetite to carry more lenses, there will be lots of choices but they all come after this lens! Sigma 24-70? A good replacement, mostly for its price! Nothing can beat this 24-70 f/2.8 G Master!
