Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II

A brand-new kit-zoom refresh, announced alongside the Alpha 7 V — a modest optical upgrade over the original, giving buyers a lighter, faster-focusing bundle option rather than a serious standalone lens. Enthusiasts still tend to skip it for the 24-70mm f/2.8 GM or 24-105mm G.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
