This is a very versatile lens that performs almost perfectly! Sharpness is great, specially in the center. Corners start soft but sharpen up nicely stopping down 2 stops. The only real issue with this lens is that the vignetting is so severe that it remains highly noticeable even with in-camera software correction applied.
Es un gran lente, casi un todo terreno. Lo que más me gusta es la nitidez que tiene y por supuesto su anillo de diafragma externo. El diafragma 4 es lo único que a veces siento que queda corto, pero depende completamente de las necesidades del usuario (aunque lentes con un diafragma más abierto y con las mismas distancias focales cuesta más del doble).
5.0 out of 5 starsVersatile travel lens, extra reach at 20mm is clutch!

This lens is a winner. I come from 30+ years of shooting nearly every brand out there, from Nikon to Canon to Fuji and now Sony. These systems are all quite good these days, and it's mostly a matter of what features you value most. For me, I value FF for image quality, high ISO capability and light weight. I'm currently using this lens on the A7R V.
After years of using f/2.8 zooms, my needs have changed and love what Sony is doing with f/4 zooms. They're a really interesting package in terms of features, size, focal length and weight. I was debating between this 20-70 and the 24-105 and having shot 24-105 on Canon FF for years, I decided that the size and weight savings of this lens was something worth trying out. I don't regret it at all.
With f/4, you lose one stop of speed, but with excellent high ISO on modern cameras, it's less of an issue these days. What's innovative is that this zoom breaks the traditional mold of 24-70 or 24-105; at the wide end, the extra 4mm give you an extra 10 degrees field of view. To me, this is far more useful than 15-20mm on the wide end. When cameras have 40-50MP of resolution, I would rather have 20mm and capture more, and if so, shoot Super 35mm to turn 70mm into 105mm.
This lens really nails it on many fronts. It is very compact, lightweight and focuses very quickly. I paired it with the Sony A7R V on a trip to Japan and it performed flawlessly. When you're shooting landscapes or indoors, the extra width that 20mm gives you is really handy. I grew up shooting aperture priority and continue today; having the aperture ring is really nice and lets you quickly slide it to wide open when you go indoors. Much quicker than using camera body dials.
From an image quality perspective, the lens is pretty sharp. There is some distortion at 20mm and some vignetting in the corners. That is to be expected in a zoom like this and can be corrected in camera or in post. Not a huge issue. Color rendition is good and works well with Sony's color science.
Overall, I recommend this if you're interested in a lightweight walk-around lens that is easy to live with and won't weigh you down.
This lens is just ONE that I want to bring everyday with me, simply because: 1) Very light and small (convenient for mirrorless) 2) Very high image quality (meet your needs) 3) It's a full frame lens ( same weight as an APS/C lens, but higher quality) 4) The zoom range is perfectly designed, it covers from super wide to standard zoom, so suitable for anyone who wants one daily carry-on lens, especially for the traveler.
La calidad y detalles de las fotografías es impresionante, aun con baja iluminación. Se puede usar la cámara y lente por horas sin fastidiarse por el peso, el lente es ligero.

For years I've wanted a lens like this one that goes to 70mm but also covers a wider angle than virtually any other short zoom I've heard of. It has turned out to be just as good as I'd hoped. When I shoot landscapes I often want the widest view possible (not always, of course), and this one does it. It's also fairly light and easy to tote into the backcountry. I took it to Costa Rica recently for a 12-day tour that included 10-miles-per-day hiking about. The camera-lens combo, tucked into a waist pack, allowed me to carry a long lens on another camera and still get virtually any non-wildlife photo I wanted with ease. Great addition to my collection!
