My aged A7s2 has slow af, is only 12MP, and can't do video really well unless adjustments are made for high depth of field. Even then, it's a kinda soso camera compared to most cameras these days.
But it is still a superstar in one area, and that is low light photography.
When coupled with this wonderful compact lens, the low light capability makes this camera a great all day easy shooter from dawn till dark. Great for backpacking.
While I wish this lens could get down to at least f2.8, even at f4, I can take night photos without issue using the a7s2.
The lens works well. With the zoom lens closed, the aperture is stuck at F14, which is a good reminder to twist to turn it on (very different from the f2.8 24-70).
it's also hard to believe that this is a full frame lens. I really love that it's not APS-C.
The AF works just fine, more than matching the speed of my a7s2.
Since I'm not a pro-photography and don't have that great of any eye for composing shots, my photo results are far far from prosumer or pro grade, but to my untrained eye, the lens seems to product photos on par with my old tamron 24-70, which I still own.
Without having done a ton of research, I believe this is the only AF, zooming, FE lens that is this compact and light.
My A7S2 has gone from a beast of a camera with the f2.8 24-70, to now being an awesome lightweight camera. Add three batteries and a tiny 1lbs ultralight tripod, and I can take this anywhere and have battery power for an entire weekend in the emigrant wilderness, all while staying extremely lightweight.
I'll probably get a better camera, maybe an a7r4 for higher resolutions, and just might attach this lens to it on occasion for some jaunts around town.
Highly recommend this lens for a lighter experience.
You can still get bokeh, though it's not as cool an effect as with the 24-70 f2.8. But still, not that bad.

Surprisingly Good
I got this lens as part of the A7C kit (from Amazon). As the title says, I'm very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the lens. It's sharp, it's small, and it's got pretty good color. I'm only giving 4 stars because of the range and aperture limitations for the price. Otherwise, highly recommended.
