Sony FE 20-70mm F4 G Compact Lightweight Zoom Lens (SEL2070G)

A great all-in-one lens for general day-to-day photos and especially useful for travel on a Sony A7CII. Really good resolution under most lighting conditions. A slight amount of 'noise' is noticeable when 'pixel-peeping' when used in dark interior setting but that's not surprising given that it's an f4 lens. Not used it yet for video so cannot comment on this aspect. Highly recommended given its size, weight and focal range.

Bought this for use when travelling good single lens

This lens replaced the Sony "kit" lens that came with my new a7C II camera -- after a lot of research, my first foray into the mirrorless, full frame realm of cameras. Truth to tell, the kit lens lacked the sharpness I was looking for so the move to the 20-70mm f4 G has turned out to be a great move. While still early days with this setup, initial results have been impressive with the edge to edge sharpness I was looking for. This is also a quite versatile lens, handling wide shots with excellent clarity, as well as 70mm zoom duties -- also nice and crisp in a pretty wide variety of lighting situations. One unexpected bonus is the closeness of its abilty to focus, giving this lens really decent macro uses. I bought this camera for travel and, when I can justify the budget for another lens, plan to use this lens in combo with a 70-200mm zoom. Pretty excited to be able to cover over 90% of what I shoot with just two lenses! Thanks, Sony.

This lens is a good travel lens is very versatile the wide at 20 is enough at 70 you can use crop for a further zoom . Is a very light . Would have been good if can get this lens at 2.8 but then it would be less portable

The extra few millimeters gives you a wide range of creativity options, especially if you like to do landscapes like myself.. This replaced my. 24 to 70. Zeiss. from Sony. And this. lens is much quicker and sharper. Very. very pleased..

I have been using this lens for over 9 months now and have been very pleased with the results. It produces very sharp images and covers most of my general photographic needs. The extra 20 mm wide angle helps me capture those dramatic landscapes and images are surprisingly crisp and sharp for a lens in this price bracket. It’s also my ‘go to lens‘ for when I go on holidays

I really appreciate the smaller size and weight compared with the 24-70 f2.8GM. The extra 4mm on the wide end are a big plus and the f4 aperture has not been a hindrance at all. I love this lens!

This lens certainly lives up to my expectations, 20mm at the wide end is such a bonus on an all in one travel lens. This is a very versatile, very sharp, reasonably small, well designed, well made Sony "G" lens.

This is a sharp detailed lens, robust and well made, which is excellent. I have however only given 4 stars due to the excessive distortion wide open 20 - 24 mm

Have been using this lens a lot as I shoot a lot of Nature and Landscapes/cloudscapes/sunsets. One day next to a group of photographers, one turned the wrong way and knocked over my tripod+camera. I and everyone else thought the camera AND lens were goners BUT later when I got home, inspected well the damage. Camera okay. Lens okay. Seems camera hit lens first on cement pavement. The filter took the blunt of the impact and crushed filter glass + filter on that one impact point. Couldn't get the filter off at all as it was well-dented [see pixs], so removed the rest of the splintered glass and tested the lens for two days. NO problems, focuses well. Just wish it was not a manual aperture ring. Thanks for such a tough lens!!

So glad I bought this lens on a recommendation from a friend, it’s everything I need in a 20-70 for my landscape photography

This Camera was a "dream buy" for me. Canon didn't offer a considerable Military Discount, which was also important to me!

I purchased this lens for my broadcast work and am pairing it up with an FX6. Having the extra 20mm is really great for filming observationally. It's far more dynamic than the 24-70GM II. Also the 20-70 is virtually parfocal which is essential for my work. The 24-70GM II is not parfocal which is the reason I would never buy it. Also, the 20-70mm is super light and the image quality is fantastic. So, I don't regret moving away from the heavy Cine Zooms I've been using for years. One thought! I'd happily accept a little extra weight for a F2.8 version of the 20-70mm as long as it remains parfocal. And internal zooming would be a lot more reassuring. Another related point for Sony to consider, being able to allocate Clear Image Zoom to an Assignable button on the FX6, (you can't currently do this), would be incredibly useful in terms of being able to quickly extend the range of this lens at the tight end when you need that little extra bit of reach. It should be easy to add this to the upcoming FX6 update...and why not make the FF/S35 menu option assignable too!? Not being able to allocate these two features to Assignable Buttons really slows down my shooting work flow.

I'm new to Sony mirrorless cameras and jumped in the deep end with an A7RV. This lens was chosen for its relative compactness and suitability for travel and landscape photography. So far I'm impressed with how sharp are the images, which therefore allows me to crop from the 60 MP sensor. I've tried a few night shots (on a tripod) and been pleasantly impressed. And lastly the 20mm wide end does give me some great landscapes.

So happy I bought this to work with my new ZV-E1. Only after two weeks I am still exploring the great features of this product.It so light and versatile, and not only that but the zoom and focus on this is amazing.

Great light weight Lens , that live my Gimbal . I wish it was a faster lens , but it works well with my A7S 3 .

I replaced my excellent FE 24-105mm G lens with this new 20-70mm lens as its range is more in keeping for my use in travel, landscape, children, reportage and ad hoc portraiture photography after reading reviews and trying one in my local store. It's Image Quality is fantastic and being more compact and lighter than my 24-105 will be more useful and thus stay attached to my A7iii most of the time. Well done Sony, you have produced a real gem of a lens with this one.

After using the lens I've found it very sharp from F4 all the way to F11. this is perfect for what I bought it for, Landscape & Travel. The lens is very light and small making it perfect for both those types of photography. If you don't mind the high price it is well worth the investment. It's another G lens with GM quality at half the price! look at it this way and you will be happy. This one's a keeper for me.

Light weight, good functionality, and excellent images.

Just what I needed! It's very flexible bit of kit, great range of focal lengths and very easy to handle because of its modest weight.
