I wanted a small general-purpose zoom lens that would fit my small Sony A7c. After watching countless videos and reviews, I ended up choosing this one mainly because of its price, size/weight, and I can now say, after two years of continuous use, that I am completely satisfied with what it offers. It was the first lens I attached to the camera and so far, it has never disappointed me. It is perhaps my favorite.

In my eyes, it seems to be of high quality construction, sturdy, and lightweight at the same time. The image performance in both photos and videos is very good. I haven't encountered any issues with autofocus. It works perfectly fine for gimbal shots. I have used it for portraits, street photography, landscapes, products, live events, YouTube, social media, travels - basically everything - and I am extremely satisfied.

If there is something extra that I would like, it would be for it to reach 24mm as the 28mm it reaches doesn't seem wide enough for me (especially for landscapes and architecture). But you can't have it all, especially if you're looking for something more budget-friendly.

So, I conclude that for its price and for camera categories like the one I use, it is a very good choice.

The lens has amazing build quality and feels great in the hand. It pairs very well with the a7C. I am very satisfied with the sharpness and rendering it provides on the camera's 24mp. Before purchasing, I searched countless reviews and watched videos on YouTube. Now I am very happy with my choice. Much cheaper and smaller than other options in the 24-70mm range.
