Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Lens in More Detail
How compact is the updated FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II?
The full-frame zoom is very compact, with the lens weighing just 293g and showing minimal change in length when adjusting focal length. It complements equally compact Alpha bodies and is easy as an all-day walk around zoom option.
The lens includes Optical SteadyShot for stabilisation, which works alongside in-body systems, and supports Active Mode on compatible cameras for steadier footage.
What is image quality like from the 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II?
The updated optical design includes one ED element and three aspherical elements, which help control aberrations and maintain clarity across the frame. The design contributes to good levels of detail, particularly at the edges of the zoom range.
A seven-blade circular aperture produces smooth out-of-focus areas, giving images a natural look when shooting at close distances or towards the longer end of the zoom.
How fast and accurate is the autofocus system?
Autofocus has been improved to match the high-speed requirements of Sony’s latest camera bodies. Sony’s own tests show AF and AE tracking can keep up with 120 fps continuous bursts on cameras such as the Alpha 9 III, even while zooming.
The lens responds quickly to changes in subject distance and maintains reliable focus during continuous shooting. Actual performance may vary depending on settings and conditions, particularly when using AF-C.
Is the mark II Sony 28-70mm lens good for video?
Yes. The combination of Optical SteadyShot, support for in-body stabilisation and Active Mode, and the minimal shift in physical length when zooming make the lens well suited to video, especially when shooting handheld.
Focus tracking is consistent for following subjects during movement, and the lightweight design reduces fatigue when recording for long periods.
Is a 28-70mm zoom range good for everyday use?
Yes, this type of zoom range is ideal for general shooting, and covers wide scenery at 28mm through to standard everyday subjects at 70mm. It is ideal for travel, portraits, casual photography and everyday video.
