This is Sony's basic full-frame E-mount zoom, the 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS, bundled with screw-on wide-angle and telephoto converters, a 55mm filter set, a hood and cleaning gear. The lens itself is the light, compact kit zoom sold with Sony's full-frame bodies: Optical SteadyShot, a linear AF motor, one ED and three aspherical elements, and a dust- and moisture-resistant build. It suits A7-series owners who want a small walkaround zoom and are willing to trade edge sharpness and a slow aperture for size. Against pricier standard zooms like the 24-70mm f/4 or the 28-70mm's faster rivals, it gives up corner sharpness and low-light reach but keeps the same mount and stabilization.

Owners treat it as a capable, lightweight kit zoom that does the job in good light but is not a sharpness or low-light standout. Most praise its size, stabilization and autofocus; criticism centers on edge softness and the slow aperture.
The Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS is a compact, lightweight zoom lens for full-frame E-mount cameras. It covers wide-angle to portrait-length focal lengths. It also works with APS-C-sized sensors, where the 35mm-equivalent focal length range is 42-105mm.
The optical design uses three aspherical elements and one extra-low dispersion element to reduce aberrations and distortions. A multi-layered coating is applied. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization reduces the appearance of camera shake in low light or at longer focal lengths. A linear autofocus motor and internal focus handle focusing.
The construction is dust and moisture resistant. A seven-blade circular diaphragm gives a smooth out-of-focus quality for shallow depth of field images. This kit adds 55mm wide angle and telephoto lens attachments, a filter set, a lens hood and cleaning accessories.
