p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Suggestions for a FE mount (a7) AF normal zoom?


Hey!

6 months ago I got a Sony a7 and even if it's the base line model, i still love the thing. I've been shooting various alternative manual focus lenses, but now im looking for a good normal lens with autofocus. Something like a 24-70, with IS if possible for those situations where getting a picture quickly is more important than the 3D rendering qualities of classic MF lenses

Any suggestions in the sub $1000 price range?

Thanks in advance

The FE 28-70 kit lens is a good match for the A7 even if it doesn't do 24mm.

The Sony Zeiss 24-70 f4 is a good lens too I believe but does get a bit of a bad rep because of its price and it isn't THAT much better than the much cheaper kit lens.

I think that is partly because I think the kit lens is very good for the money.

You can find the 24-70 for under $1000 if lucky and the 28-70 is well under.

They have different strengths (and weaknesses) too.

On the other hand, if you shoot jpegs (and/or video) you can use a prime lens and use clear zoom and to me, the results are better than with a zoom optically.

Other than that, you can adapt Canon lenses and you will get auto focus, just not fast auto focus with an original A7.

If I were you i’d stretch your budget a bit and get the Sony 24-105.
