Not sharp enough to pay $3000 plus for
SEL2870GM 02 February 2026 by Wedding Photographer (USA)
The zoom is great but the sharpness is not good enough for the price point. I wish i would have invested in a prime 85mm and 35mm instead

Amazing lens

This lens is awsome to use, almost a prime killer, although on the bulky side. Also, can create some "onion rings" effects in certain conditions that can undesirable. But overal a very solid lens. Very good build quality and crazy fast autofocus for the size of the lens.

Sharp, well balanced.
SEL2870GM 30 December 2024 by Chanee91 (USA)
Great overall! Surprisingly balanced and does not feel too heavy. I handheld this with the A7R V around NYC for a full day with no problem. Very sharp, close in terms of my 35mm 1.4 GM but to have zoom at f2 is wonderful and convenient.

Great do it all lens, but distortion at 28 mm
SEL2870GM 29 December 2024 by simonhird (United Kingdom)
It is an amazing do-it-all lens that I am super pleased with. Having f2 in a zoom lens makes it perfect for low-light wedding and event photography. This is a great middle ground between fast primes and versatile zoom lenses. The only downside for me is the heavy distortion at 28 mm. Hopefully soon there will be a lens profile correction for lightroom and some in camera distortion fix for video.
