    Great lens for A6000

    This lens is great for travel. It is fairly compact and light zoom lens that yields excellent photos. The range works well for travel giving you a 42mm to 105mm equivalent on the A6000 or any Sony e-mount with a crop sensor. Its easy to carry around all day.

    Lens was not as sharp as I wanted. Also the range is limited to only 35-70mm. For this tiny range it is better to use a 50mm prime lens for much nicer and more creative photos

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great starter lens for Sony a7iii

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

    I purchased the Sony a7iii and it came with this lens. For a kit lens this really surpirsed me. Once you get to know how to work the Sony a7iii camera, you can take some pretty nice and sharp pictures. I even did a decent Macro picture with this lens and edited in Lightroom. I would recommend this as your first lens before you spend hundreds or thousands on a PRO lens.

    Awesome for a kit lens

    I really enjoy using this lens , it is sharp enough for the price. I was going to buy the 35mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss but i can't really see a lot of difference in picture quality. If you get your settings right this works very well.
