Super sharp lens
So glad I bought this lens on a recommendation from a friend, it’s everything I need in a 20-70 for my landscape photography

Perfect for a carry-around do-it-all 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.

beautiful sharp and light G lens, (half price GM)
After using the lens I've found it very sharp from F4 all the way to F11. this is perfect for what I bought it for, Landscape & Travel. The lens is very light and small making it perfect for both those types of photography. If you don't mind the high price it is well worth the investment. It's another G lens with GM quality at half the price! look at it this way and you will be happy. This one's a keeper for me.

A gem of a lens
I replaced my excellent FE 24-105mm G lens with this new 20-70mm lens as its range is more in keeping for my use in travel, landscape, children, reportage and ad hoc portraiture photography after reading reviews and trying one in my local store. It's Image Quality is fantastic and being more compact and lighter than my 24-105 will be more useful and thus stay attached to my A7iii most of the time. Well done Sony, you have produced a real gem of a lens with this one.

Newest non-mirror digital technology! Wow!
This Camera was a "dream buy" for me. Canon didn't offer a considerable Military Discount, which was also important to me!

Versatile Gem
Just what I needed! It's very flexible bit of kit, great range of focal lengths and very easy to handle because of its modest weight.

Superb sense with fantastic optical results
So happy I bought this to work with my new ZV-E1. Only after two weeks I am still exploring the great features of this product.It so light and versatile, and not only that but the zoom and focus on this is amazing.

Sharp at every aperture and focal length
Two weeks in and I am yet to find any real annoyances with this lens. So far it is the best every day travel / landscape zoom I have found. Ok the bokeh is not lovely, but at 70mm f4 it is acceptable for most everyday use. Combined with an A7c this is the most versatile lightweight solution out there. Well done Sony.

Very sharp lens, useful zoom range.
This lens is extremely sharp, even at f4 it's got great sharpness across the frame. Having 20mm at the short end is extremely useful for a lens like this and much better than the more common 24mm. In an ideal world I would have loved it to be 16mm but appreciate this would make the lens much bigger and heavier, and no doubt affect the image quality.
I love that Sony have started adding aperture rings to their newer lenses, I much prefer this than using the control dial.
The build quality doesn't feel particularly premium, and doesn't feel as premium as the Zeiss 24-70mm f4 that this lens has replaced, but it's solid enough and I'm sure this just all helps keep the weight down. The zoom does extend more than I was anticipating.
This lens has pretty bad distortion when uncorrected, but in the real world this is a non-issue as raw software has lens corrections and it doesn't affect the end image quality. If you're a jpeg shooter the camera has lens corrections (if enabled).
The biggest issue I have with this lens is the price, £1299 GBP is way too much for this type of lens imo. It is a great lens that will be great for travel, however that price is hard to swallow.

Functionally excellent & so light
Really like this new lens. I take a lot of landscape photos and find the new 20 to 70mm zoom range excellent. Photo quality is gorgeous and the lens quality excellent and its feature rich. This lens replaced my 24-105mm. The 20mm vs 24mm makes a big difference landscape wise & means less lens swapping for me. AlsoI very much appreciate the fact that the 20-70mm is much lighter and in my view takes better photos. I’ve owned this lens now for over 2 months and so far I’m extremely happy with it.

Great lens but would be even better with F2.8!
I purchased this lens for my broadcast work and am pairing it up with an FX6. Having the extra 20mm is really great for filming observationally. It's far more dynamic than the 24-70GM II. Also the 20-70 is virtually parfocal which is essential for my work. The 24-70GM II is not parfocal which is the reason I would never buy it. Also, the 20-70mm is super light and the image quality is fantastic. So, I don't regret moving away from the heavy Cine Zooms I've been using for years. One thought! I'd happily accept a little extra weight for a F2.8 version of the 20-70mm as long as it remains parfocal. And internal zooming would be a lot more reassuring. Another related point for Sony to consider, being able to allocate Clear Image Zoom to an Assignable button on the FX6, (you can't currently do this), would be incredibly useful in terms of being able to quickly extend the range of this lens at the tight end when you need that little extra bit of reach. It should be easy to add this to the upcoming FX6 update...and why not make the FF/S35 menu option assignable too!? Not being able to allocate these two features to Assignable Buttons really slows down my shooting work flow.
