Not sharp enough to pay $3000 plus for
The zoom is great but the sharpness is not good enough for the price point. I wish i would have invested in a prime 85mm and 35mm instead

Shame its not 24mm
My only fault is that this lens really should have been a 24-70 f2. This is what the wedding market wanted. For weddings that extra 4mm can be crucial. I could have lived with the extra weight. This is the only reason I would not give it 5 stars

Great do it all lens, but distortion at 28 mm
It is an amazing do-it-all lens that I am super pleased with. Having f2 in a zoom lens makes it perfect for low-light wedding and event photography. This is a great middle ground between fast primes and versatile zoom lenses. The only downside for me is the heavy distortion at 28 mm. Hopefully soon there will be a lens profile correction for lightroom and some in camera distortion fix for video.

Sharp, well balanced.
Great overall! Surprisingly balanced and does not feel too heavy. I handheld this with the A7R V around NYC for a full day with no problem. Very sharp, close in terms of my 35mm 1.4 GM but to have zoom at f2 is wonderful and convenient.
