Excellent Travel Lens
I have only had this lens for one month but cant take it off my camera, its small and compact with a great range. The lens performs well at all focal lengths and is sharp across the whole image, I swapped my 24-105 to this lens and it has been a game changer, the extra 4mm width is amazing, its so sharp cropping in to compensate for the reduced max zoom isn't a problem. If you want a sharp. lightweight lens this is the one.

Superb lens
Bought the 20 - 70 f4 recently, having owned a Sony 24- 105 f4 for some time. The new lens is superior in my opinion in all regards. Resolution and contrast is top notch. Remarkably, at 20mm f5.6, it gives the acclaimed 20mm f1.8 at the same aperture a run for its money with quality virtually indistinguishable. Autofocus is spot on and reliable. Weight and size are perfect for an A7 series body. The only negative for me is that there is quite strong field curvature at the wide end. This is only really something you have to consider for distant shots such as landscapes where the focus plane can be closer at the edges than the centre of the frame This is largely resolved by making sure the you focus the center on the most distant point in the frame. To be clear I am not referring to the barrel distortion that is corrected either in camera on jpegs or in software from raw images. I am not at all bothered by this and it is completely corrected for all but the most critical applications. Overall I would highly recommend.

Compact all-in-one, brilliant for travel.
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.

As Good As Expected...
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.

Versatile light lens
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..
