I really feel like this lens should have it's own thread and I don't think it does? I've recently started bringing this lens on runs in my small hydration pack and the weight makes a huge difference when running/hiking fast. I definitely wouldn't bring my 20-70 for instance. The ability to crop on the a7CR makes it quite versatile.
Great images! Certainly makes an argument for this lens.
I bought this lens a few months ago and took it on a recent trip to the mountains, bridging the gap between my 17-28 and 70-180. Normally I’d use a 40 or 50mm prime, but decided to try the little zoom for once. It got a decent amount of use. I don’t have any images to share at the moment, but I’ll post some soon.
Here's some from last year too, this was my most used lens on a Yosemite trip, my 16-35 sat around and my 70-200 got some decent use but this was mostly glued to my camera. I think when you're planning on shooting stopped down anyway it's a fantastic option when you want to be light. And the ability to range from 28-90 with a crop on the A7CR really gives a nice focal range.
I just sold this lens to a colleague for $50 to help them get their full frame photography journey started, after also convincing them to pick up an a7c as their camera instead of an m43.. I never shot with it as it came as a kit lens, and almost forgot about it. I am glad to see the potential of the lens for my colleague to take advantage of!
My kit lens is welded to an "old" A7R3 now and lives permanently in my biking backpack. I don't worry too much about either, yet having had a few (easy) falls, all are still working (as am I ...)
