Our take on the Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens

The Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is the full-frame kit zoom sold with Sony's A7-series bodies. It covers a useful 28-70mm range, has built-in optical stabilization and quiet autofocus, and is light enough to leave on the camera. It is a budget standard zoom: the variable aperture is slow at the long end, and corner sharpness and build are below Sony's G and Zeiss lenses. It suits full-frame E-mount owners who want one small walkaround lens, not shooters chasing maximum sharpness or fast glass.

Best forFull-frame E-mount owners who want a light walkaround zoomBeginners and first-time A7 buyersTravel and everyday shooting in good lightVideo users who want stabilization and quiet focus

Questions and answers

Is this lens worth it over the Sony 24-70mm f/4 ZA?
The 24-70mm f/4 ZA is sharper, wider and has a constant aperture, but it is larger and pricier. This lens is the lighter, cheaper choice for casual shooting.
Does it work on APS-C Sony bodies?
Yes, it mounts on E-mount APS-C cameras, where it behaves like a 42-105mm lens. It is designed for full-frame sensors.
Is the stabilization in the lens or the camera?
The lens has Optical SteadyShot built in. On bodies with in-body stabilization the two systems work together.
How close can it focus?
Minimum focus distance is about 0.3m at the wide end and 0.45m at the long end, giving roughly 0.19x maximum magnification.
What comes in the box?
The lens, front and rear caps, and a lens hood are typically included. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
Is it weather sealed?
No. The lens has no weather sealing, so protect it in rain and dust.
