Style: ‘w/ 20-70mm G’
Features
- With an unprecedented ultra-wide 20 mm to short-telephoto 70 mm zoom range, this versatile lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of movie and still subjects. The ultra-wide 20 mm end of the zoom range maintains a wide angle of view when shooting movies with a 16:9 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio that reduces field of view.
- Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors achieve fast, quiet, smooth focus drive with up to 60% higher AF speed and up to two times better performance while tracking for reliable, precise tracking. Moving subjects are reliably tracked when shooting continuous stills at up to 30 fps, or up to 4K 120p with alpha compatible cameras.
- Advanced technology reduces focus breathing as well as focus and axial shift when zooming so that distracting image shifts are minimized. XD Linear Motors and a newly developed aperture unit dramatically reduce noise and vibration when shooting movies. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible series cameras is also supported.
- This compact, lightweight lens combines state-of-the-art optical design with Sonys high-thrust XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motor technology. The deep, soft bokeh available with full-frame image sensors is further enhanced by a 9-blade circular aperture and optimally tuned spherical aberration. All of this supports the creation of impressive, memorable imagery.
- AA (advanced aspherical) elements help to achieve a minimum focus distance of 11.8 (30 cm - wide) to 9.8 (25 cm - telephoto) when using AF, and 9.8 (25 cm) throughout the zoom range when focusing manually. Maximum magnification is 0.39x for detailed close-ups. Close focus makes it easy to maneuver around small subjects to find the ideal angle.

This lens is a winner. I come from 30+ years of shooting nearly every brand out there, from Nikon to Canon to Fuji and now Sony. These systems are all quite good these days, and it's mostly a matter of what features you value most. For me, I value FF for image quality, high ISO capability and light weight. I'm currently using this lens on the A7R V. After years of using f/2.8 zooms, my needs have changed and love what Sony is doing with f/4 zooms. They're a really interesting package in terms of features, size, focal length and weight. I was debating between this 20-70 and the 24-105 and having shot 24-105 on Canon FF for years, I decided that the size and weight savings of this lens was something worth trying out. I don't regret it at all. With f/4, you lose one stop of speed, but with excellent high ISO on modern cameras, it's less of an issue these days. What's innovative is that this zoom breaks the traditional mold of 24-70 or 24-105; at the wide end, the extra 4mm give you an extra 10 degrees field of view. To me, this is far more useful than 15-20mm on the wide end. When cameras have 40-50MP of resolution, I would rather have 20mm and capture more, and if so, shoot Super 35mm to turn 70mm into 105mm. This lens really nails it on many fronts. It is very compact, lightweight and focuses very quickly. I paired it with the Sony A7R V on a trip to Japan and it performed flawlessly. When you're shooting landscapes or indoors, the extra width that 20mm gives you is really handy. I grew up shooting aperture priority and continue today; having the aperture ring is really nice and lets you quickly slide it to wide open when you go indoors. Much quicker than using camera body dials. From an image quality perspective, the lens is pretty sharp. There is some distortion at 20mm and some vignetting in the corners. That is to be expected in a zoom like this and can be corrected in camera or in post. Not a huge issue. Color rendition is good and works well with Sony's color science. Overall, I recommend this if you're interested in a lightweight walk-around lens that is easy to live with and won't weigh you down.

This is a really great walk around lens that starts with a super wide 20mm up to a standard 70mm reach. I'm using it on an A7IV and already love it. I have previously shot with A6500 and A7III cameras. One thing to keep in mind is this lens DOES NOT have OSS so it's not internally stabilized, but that isn't an issue with the excellent IBIS in my A7IV, if you have a non-IBIS body then it might not be the best choice. I also am getting some vingetting when shooting at 20mm from my filter. I can't see it in the EVF so I think the EVH is slightly less than 100% view but I am getting it on images. The issue is caused by a regular UV filter, so if you get a UV filter buy a low profile on - they cost a little more but are worth it, or you can always go without.

I rarely purchase any new lens at first offering, but this lens was an exception. The reviews on YouTube were very tempting and the only down side I could see was the f4 minimum aperture. Now that I have it hand I can say it truly delivers. I especially like the 20mm wide end. I soot mainly landscapes and having that expansive 20mm view is a game changer. I don't have to change out to a wider view and that mean less chance for getting dust on the sensor. If you own a later model of Sony camera, you know that they are dust magnets. The lens is plenty sharp, more that good enough for the 42 megapixels of the A7Riii Your milage may vary with the newer mark 4&5 versions of the A7R. I can't speak for the A1 either. Coming from the old version of the 24-70 GM there is no real difference between the lenses execept the weight and the larger minimum aperture on the GM. I'm not a a big fan of "pumper" zooms as I prefer the 70-200 and 200-600 lenses internal zoom. But I can understand that this was required to get the 20-70 so small at the wide end. And it is a rather petite package at its 20mm setting. The weight isn't objectionable even on long outings but it does get nose heavy when zoomed out to the maximum of 70mm. It's a bit hard to mention bokeh with an f 4.0 lens, especially at 20mm. But close focus is very decent at 70mm and there is some pleasant out of focus blur with the lens. It's not going to be as good as a prime, no zoom lens ever is, still there's nothing objectionable. There's no harshness or business, and there's good transition to out of focus areas. But... flare and glare are not handled well. When the sun is low in the sky, the lens falls apart. The ":sun stars" are seriously weird. See the rainbow streaking and the total washout caused by glare? The photo is unusable. I have a Sigma ultrawide that does a bit better, the 24 to 14. It still washes out, but there is not this nonsense going on. i first noted this aggravation in Yosemite. The NPS was doing a controlled burn and I wanted a sunrise / early morning shot into the haze. Welp, I noticed the effect right away and tried to correct it by zooming in. No luck. I can't provide an example because the shot wasn't worth taking and I shifted to the Sigma. It flares all through the zoom rage. I think this is because the tulip lens hood is limited by the very wide angle of the lens and maybe the coatings can't handle the sun either. If this is your only lens, you will have a tough time during sun set and sun rise. Try using your hand on top of the lens to block out as much of the sun as possible if you are going wide. I hope Sony fixes this in the Mark 2 of the 20-75 because this is a real Achilles Heal for the lens. All said, it is a solid "G" lens. G lenses are a definite step above kit and consumer lenses and are definitely a value proposition. For owners of the old 24-70 GM I would definitely sell that old workhorse and get the 20-70 as you gain more on the wide end without loosing much other than weight. If you own a kit lens, first why, but second definitely save up to get this lens as a replacement. Addenmuim Jan 22, 2024: As much of a Sony fan as I am, one should consider the 24-75 Sigma to the Sony 20-75. You gain a stop of light and it probably does not have the Sony's seriously weird imaging in very bright low to the horizon light. The Sigma is not native and that does mean slightly slower focusing and less video functionality. Build quality is a toss up as Sigmas are made in Japan and the Sony is a G series, which is a slot below the GM. The Sigma is also a hefty boi compared to the G. Personally I find it annoying that the G falls so flat in this area. Yes, I can change out the lens... but I will then suffer an attack of the dust monster on the sensor. This is common occurrence with mirrorless cameras. They all attract dust. However Sony is especially guilty on this count as the less expensive and older cameras leave their sensors open to the elements. This is still a very good lens and is still much better than the provided kit lens. I just wish it was a bit better.

The images from this lens are razor sharp wide open. With a good digital camera you don't need 2.8. The one stop higher iso's difference is not noticeable. Boquet between F2.8 to F4 is not that noticeable either. On top of that you have a substantial weight, size and cost difference. Image quality is stellar. The reviewers love this lens and the only thing they nit pick is distortion at 20mm. It kept me from buying it at first but after owning it it is a non-issue for me. Having been a pro photographer for 30 years I am very picky when it comes to good lenses. This lens is another keeper.
