Compact and lightweight with a 20 mm to 70 mm standard zoom
Catch every shot with a focal length that redefines the standard zoom category, ranging from an ultra-wide 20 mm to 70 mm. Achieve all of this in a compact, lightweight, full-frame lens, with a constant F4 aperture, ideal for stills photography, content creation and videography.
Outstanding G Lens image quality
Two advanced aspherical (AA) elements and three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements create extremely high optical performance with corner-to-corner resolution and sharpness. With optimally tuned chromatic and spherical aberration, the 9-blade circular lens aperture enhances and smoothes your image backgrounds with a deep, soft bokeh defocus effect.


Peak autofocus (AF) performance for stills and movies
Harness the power of high thrust for faster and more accurate focusing with two extreme dynamic (XD) Linear Motors. Enjoy a smooth, high frame rate movie capture, and a fast and precise AF. With twice improved performance tracking, and a 60% increase in AF speed, you can reliably track the movement of your subjects when shooting continuous stills at up to 30 frames per second (fps).
High-level operability and reliability in any environment
Featuring a dust and moisture resistant design and a fluorine-coated front element, this Sony G lens repels contaminants like oil and water. The constant F4 maximum aperture across the zoom range maintains a consistent brightness in all weathers, even when the focal length changes. Use customisable focus hold buttons to quickly switch between AF or manual focus, and separate rings for focus, zoom and aperture create smooth and versatile control in the most difficult shooting scenarios.


Refined movie imagery
Minimise distracting image shift with reduced focus breathing and axial shift whilst zooming, leaving you with clearer footage capture. Designed for quiet operation, XD Linear Motors and a newly developed aperture unit both dramatically reduce noise and vibration. Supports the breathing compensation function provided across compatible α series bodies.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2024The perfect walk around lens for travel and landscape photography. The 20mm wide end is very useful for landscapes and 70mm giving enough tele too. Optically it is perfect (enough) even on my a7RV.
Given the features, compact size and light weight, it’s a great lens. It won’t replace a bag of primes, but a bag of primes won’t replace this either.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2025You don't need me to tell you any G lens from Sony will be good. There are hundreds of professional reviews that will confirm this lens is very good. I bought this as a replacement for a 24-105 G lens as it is significantly lighter, and I hoped it would make the handling of my A7R somewhat less burdensome. If I'm honest I can't tell the difference. In hindsight I might not have splashed out on this for the marginal gain in lightness. I can't fault the performance of the lens, and will keep it regardless. Should I have bought a couple of primes instead? Maybe, but I've had issues with crud on the sensor before, so try and minimise swapping lens as much as possible. As they say, your milage may vary, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with this lens if you don't already have something similar.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2024Lovely lens. This is the ideal focal length zoom for me: 20mm to 70mm for a full frame Sony a7C 11 camera.
I have used Canon cameras and L series lenses for years and this feels nearly as good as a Canon L. Probably is as good, I’m just familiar with Canon.
Very pleased with this Sony lens
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2024The lenses arrived as a used condition and were missing accessories.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2023With most mobile phones having great wide angle lens a normal 24mm to 70mm isn't going to compete. This lens covers most wide angle shots while giving a reasonable telehoto for most situations. Of range normally comes at the price of quality but not in this case. Stunning results.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2023By buying a week before so-called 'Black Friday' I got Amazon's voucher to match Sony's cashback (instant no waiting a month and more for a refund) and a better price than their Black Friday discount. Paid under £1000 including VAT which I can reclaim (no grey imports for me thanks). Had already tested this lens for my Cameracraft magazine, and knew it's a superb bit of versatile glass. Not the smallest with 72mm filters etc but performance wise pays off. Compared to 17-50mm f/4 Tamron, and found it has much better flare resistance and the close-up function at 70mm is much cleaner. Used with A7RIV and A7IV.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2023I acknowledge that a 20-70mm lens must be a challenge to get right, even at f4. And there are plenty of good reviews of this lens. But my copy was pretty awful. Yes, it was very sharp in and near the centre at all focal lengths. But anywhere near the right hand edge, it was simply awful from 28mm to 60mm, eg most of the focal range. I don't mean a little less sharp than it could have been, I mean awful. And awful even at f8! Unfortunately Amazon don't seem to give you an option to send it back and get sent a replacement at the same price.
So if you buy one of these, test it at all focal lengths and check it across the image. Hopefully you'll be luckier than me.
Update: got a second copy from another retailer, but had very similar issues around the same focal lengths, except the problem was on the other side! But the problem was much less noticeable, so from my limited sample of two, there is obviously a bit of sample variation going on. It does look like the lens may have been designed to be at its best at both ends of the focal length, and less good in the middle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfetta
Sul mio canale ho fatto un video di questa lente con la Sony Zve1 se vi interessa. Cercate lbprojekt su YouTube e lo trovate.
Detto questo penso che raramente si possa usare il termine per una lente ma cosa volete che vi dica...non ha difetti. Usata nel mondo reale e lasciando stare i stupidi test da laboratorio che vanno a cercare il pelo nell'uovo questa è semplicemente una lente perfetta. È nitidissima e in video si vede. Fa una bella stella già a f4. Ha un ottima capacità macro sia a 20mm che a 70mm. Fa un bel bokeh grazie alle 9 lamelle. Non fa flare. Pesa relativamente poco. Si, manca la stabilizzazione ma ho fatto diverse prove e fino a 35mm tiene. Dopo anche quelle stabilizzate cedono...non crediate che il 24-105 regga la stabilizzazione mentre si cammina a 105mm... purtroppo no. Quindi è una lente divertente da usare. Questo tipo di focale è esattamente quella più usata se dovete andare a fare viaggi in altri posti e con solo questa lente credetemi che siete apposto. Si merita 5 stelle perché se uno pensa di dover tirare tutti sti soldi almeno sa che avrà un prodotto in mano fatto con tutti i crismi

First Sony G lens i have bought. no regrets perfect lens for me on the sony a7 iv. Its a full frame lens works great as well on the Sony 6700.
- NokironReviewed in Sweden on 25 January 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Super useful focal range
Going from 20mm to 70mm in such a compact form factor is such a unique and versatile focal length for every usage. Image quality is excellent and so is the focus speed. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Polivalente
Un objetivo muy polivalente, tener esos 20mm en un zoom que llega hasta 70mm es un puntazo, que encima. 70mm es una lente casi macro.. otro puntazo. Muy ligero y compacto, muy agradable de manejar. Ahora hacer un zoom de estas características tiene sus contras, si tiras en raw la distorsión en 20mm es monstruosa, en jpg la cámara lo corrige bastante y aún así algo se nota. La nitidez a F4 es excelente en el centro hasta 50mm, a 70mm F4 la nitidez baja muchísimo, a F4,5 ya es mucho más nítido, pero es cerrar a f5,6 y ahí alcanza una nitidez espectacular. Es un objetivo ideal para viajes con el pero que para retrato se queda muy justo, disparar a 70mm f4,5 para tener buena nitidez el desenfoque que da no es ideal, Para todo lo demás cumple sobradamente.
