    I thought the sharpness will be higher, maybe I need to play more with the lens.

    Purchased this as an everyday lens but the speed wasn't as what I expected from the G series. Now that Tamron has their 2.8 out, that lens blows this out of the water both in price and features.

    I've always been a fan of Sony camera. The only issue I have with this lens is the price. Should have been a lot lower than what it is right now. Name is one thing, but price is another.

    When I have seen this lens in the store, I am amazed by what it can do. My lens is nowhere near as quick, responsive, or sharp. I should have returned this item within the first 2 weeks, but since I was trying to make this lens work, I kept on trying it out. I have changed settings, changed styles, factory reset and nothing seems to improve the quality of images that I get from this lens.

    The focal range is great for all-around usage and the built-in stabilization is a plus. I deducted a star because I’m not a big fan of the electronic zoom but I’ll deal with it.

    Not that great of a lens

    This lens is not that great to begin with. It could be used for video but mainly vlogging or something simple because the sharpness isn’t so great. For pictures, this lens is just not it. Truthfully, you don’t really need this lens because you can get a much cheaper lens that’ll do the same or better work out of it. Not satisfied with it. Would return if I still could.

    Awesome travel lens

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this lens for my trip to Turkey. I was going to take my 24-70mm f4, but that lens isn't wide enough and doesn't zoom far enough. So I got this to cover a lot of situations. I definitely do not regret it. I really enjoyed the versatility. I was able to take pretty wide shots, even on an APS-C sensor. Extra zoom really made pictures of my family members look amazing. You get a nice bokeh. Stabilization works well when it's zoomed in. One issue is with autofocus. Sometimes the autofocus will be a little off in some shots. While travelling and taking quick photos, it's easy to get photos that are out of focus. It sucks. You have to make sure the autofocus has locked in before putting away the camera. Other than that, I didn't have any issues. It did well in video as well. Weight is not bad either.
