Great lens Recently switched from a Canon 7d to a Sony A7. Had been using a Tamron 18-270 on that camera for the past decade - results were limited by by the photographer (me), otherwise never a problem with that lens. I had hoped to get a similar lens for the new Sony, this was as close as I could find. I miss the shorter focal length of the previous lens, and of course the reach. I appreciate the extra stop at the wide angle end. And so far I haven't missed the stabilization - the Sony does a pretty good job with that. Have only been using this lens for the past month, but pics seem noticeably sharper than my older lens/camera combination. The lens looks good physically and makes a nice compact package with the mirrorless camera. Reviews have it stacking up nicely against Sony's super zoom, and I've not been disappointed so far.

Great all in one lens This is a great travel lens with a range for street, grips and landscapes. The 2.8 f stop is great for evening street photography too, but increases per rapidly past 35mm. I found the eye focus good, maybe not as quick as a Sony lens, but good. Wold like a larger range, but I wouldn’t want to have the added distortion, so this really is the best compromise for me.
Ultimate Traveling Lens I watched practically all reviews on YouTube... I bought this lens.... Its is unreal. If you travel photographer this is the only lens you need. If you can grab a wide angle in additional you in heaven... Sharp, Fast. Image quality is out of this world. Just shoot as much as you can. Ejoy! I do every time I use this great product.
