Is there any single zoom they issued so far that isn’t without issues?


My direct experience:

12-24mm - fabulous
24-105mm - fabulous
70-200mm GM - fabulous

Prices...these three lenses perform at a very high level, and together cost less than I paid for a 16-18-21mm WATE lens a few years ago.

Sony has won me over, in spite a few bumps in the road.

PS
I am unmoved by the echo chamber effect of the internet, which repeats and amplifies every minor problem. And I've spent long enough working in digital marketing and social campaigns to recognize coordinated astroturfing/smear campaigns which have become the norm in nearly every product category. [EDIT FOR CLARITY] - Not suggesting that this particular issue is being artificially amplified. I'm commenting more generally on the negativity of internet forums and my belief that you really have to trust your own experience, not the unhappy reports of the (few) people who report problems, which are then endlessly repeated. And thankfully, FM is a much more level-headed and balanced forum than most others.
