Beautiful white work horse from Sony
I’m not a pro but a photographer on a budget. At first 1699 seems a lot of money but compared to others native lens on this category this is a steal. If you want the best on this range then the f2.8 is $ 2800 but just one stop difference which isn’t a huge deal breaker because we have a good AI denoise solution that can correct this issue. Lets talk about plus points its light ,small , sharp and takes tele converter with also being a macro lens. I took this lens to hiking and it was like carrying 2 lens in one. It was excellent for landscape with F4 being no issue while taking macro flower at same time. I already sold my heavy f2.8 variant coz that lens is good only for indoor concerts and sports but again AI denoise is so good now that I don’t really need aperture below F4.Also its Auto focus is tad bit faster then f2.8 variant.

Best in class lens
I've owned a lot of lenses like this, and have used even more professionally since the 1980s. This is hands-down my favorite. Not only is it lightning fast, and works perfectly with my Sony A7IV, but it's light and compact. It fits in a very small space. Performance is outstanding, and the OSS (vibration reduction) does a great job. And one of the things that make this such a great lens is that it's a real macro lens. It can hoot at ½ life size throughout the whole zoom range. Color, sharpness, and optical performane is second-to-non.

My favorite lens for my Sony a7 IV! Does it all.
I must admit, this is the most expensive lens I have ever purchased. Probably cheap for some photographers, but for a hobbyist, it’s a pricey investment. I will say though it has been well worth it. It’s now my favorite lens and stays on my camera most of the time. It’s lightweight, takes sharp photos, works well with the Sony 1.4X teleconverter for added reach, and actually takes very good macro photos. I wasn’t sure if the F4 would be bright enough, but it’s proven to be fine for outdoor photography. I highly recommend this one.
