There is no other lens with the size, shape, and quality this has.
This is easy for me to review. Simply put: this lens and the Sony NEX-6 camera is the single best combo I've ever used. I sold my Canon 6D and multitude of lenses for one camera and one lens, and I couldn't be happier.

Fantastic mid range zoom lens
This is my First Zeiss E-Mount lens. My previous lens was the 18-55mm Kit lens for the Sony C3. This new lens has some heft to it. I am an above average beginner camera person so I will tell you my impressions as a beginner.

I would highly recommend yhis lens
This has become my favourite lens for my Sony A6000 camera. Not bulky, small enough to carry around. So far perfect pictures ever time.
Pros:
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight

Good Lens, but not Great Lens
On a Sony A6500, the optical performance is not quite equal that of a Canon 24-70 f2.8 with Sigma MC-11 adapter. However, it is significantly less expensive and smaller than the latter combo. Great match for A6500.
Pros:
- size
Cons:
- optical performance

This lens is not sharp at all. And there's tons of smearing in low light. I understand that people are desperate for a good standard zoom lens for the a6xxx series, but I found all the standard e-mount zoom lenses to be sub-standard in IQ in comparison to other apsc lenses, the Sigma 17-70 2.8-f4 on...

Glued to my camera
I have found not that many great reviews on this 4/16-70, most likely because the price level; good things are not cheap though you always find other things. This is an amazing lens, very sharp, outstanding color quality, a focal length for almost 95% of your shots, light weight, it is just the...

A good lens
I had mixed feelings about buying this lens given the varied reviews it seemed to get. Took the plunge as wanted a new lens for family holiday to alaska. The Sony G lens with slightly wider focal length of 18-105 was tempting but the compact size and weight of this lens clinched it.

Produces wonderfully natural looking images
This lens isn't known for its sharpness, and often gets bad reviews by those who are slaves to fashion and tests that have no real world relevance. It's not soft; it's just not razor sharp. People focus on razor sharpness because it's unnatural..
