A fine small zoom
For some reason, this lens gets a bad rap but, I have found my copy to be fine. Is it a Zeiss? No. Is it that different from a Zeiss? No. Is it cheaper than a Zeiss or Sony G? For sure! I got mine on sale for $200. I've been shooting with my copy for a few months and, am happy as a clam that it cost so little but delivers high quality images. A good solid...

Should have bought the Zeiss
I purchased the Sony SAL 24-105 zoom for my Alpha 850. The images I get with the lens are satisfactory, and it is nice and light.

I've been shooting with my copy for a few months and, am happy as a clam that it cost so little but delivers high quality images. A good solid performer. If you get it on sale, I would call it an excellent lens. One final thought on the zoom ring: It is tighter on this lens compared to other Sony, Minolta, and Konica Minolta lenses I own. But I like this as the lens has no lens creep at all. But if you are use to a looser zoom ring, it may seem too tight.

On the downside, sometimes the lens "snags" when zooming in, which leads me to think that eventually there will be a mechanical failure. I do not think this lens will hold up to the rigours of daily hard use, and does not feel solid like my 70-300G series lens does, in my mind it is a casual users lens. I will be buying the Zeiss 24-70 asap, and putting this lens up for sale on eBay.
