I read a lot of mixed reviews on this lens. I would say that overall, the people that are overly critical of this lens are, nuts. It is a fantastic carry around lens for any of the A series cameras. I own a A7ii and the shots that I have taken with this have been very satisfying. You can definitely see a difference over the kit 28-70mm that is included with most A series bodies. The colors are richer, the images are vastly more sharp. The bad reviews or poor reviews for this lens, via the net, are not justified at all. If you are looking for a excellent replacement mid range zoom lens for your A series camera and you are looking to step up your game all around, you will not be unhappy with this purchase.
