A constant-aperture f/2.8 standard zoom for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras, covering 28mm wide angle to 105mm short telephoto. It is the first zoom of its kind to hold f/2.8 across that whole range, which makes it unusually flexible for events, portraits and travel. It is large and heavy at about 35 oz and has no optical stabilization, so it leans on in-body stabilization and on its fast aperture. Against the 24-70mm f/2.8 zooms it trades a little wide-angle reach for a much longer telephoto end, and against 24-105mm f/4 lenses it gives up a stop of light gathering at the wide end in exchange for a stop more throughout.

Owners and reviewers treat it as a strong one-lens solution for events and portraits, praising the constant f/2.8 aperture and sharpness across the range. The main complaints are weight and the missing 24mm wide end.
