Sony FE PZ 28-135 mm f/4 G OSS Zoom Lens

An indispensable lens for nature photographers/videographers

Used it before which is why I decided to invest and by my own

I have bought this Lens (FE PZ28-135 F4 G OSS) to add to my Sony FS7 Cine kit. Not only does the E mount fit and support well on the camera and lens, but operation so far appears to be very high end. Not to mention how good the system now looks

As a single lens solution for video and photographic use then you should definitely have this on your short list.

Yes, the lens is big and heavy, but it takes gorgeous pictures and even better video. Focus is reliable especially if using centre area mode as I always do. Low light is excellent and the resolution of the pics on my Sony a7 II is extraordinary. I find the power zoom spot on for video work; and the aperture ring is such a useful feature. It pulls focus well too.

My only wish (if it were possible) would be to keep the quality of the lens but with a slightly longer telephoto range - oh and a macro function too! Ok, crazy wishes but who knows....

I am an amateur enthusiast and I have taken lens skiing, to the arctic, summer in the med and city shoots around Europe. It has never lost a beat in my 18 months of ownership. I hate the weight when travelling - but I couldn't go abroad without it :)

This lens has a wonderful range from 28mm to 135mm, with a quality exceeding most zoom and many prime lenses. A heavy lens, which reflects it's Image quality.

Since buying the 28-135 Power Zoom, It has been attached to my A7R MK2, and has met all my video and still photo needs since. The Aperture ring and zoom make it a very fast set up to use, never missing a shot.

So glad of Sony with amazing features, higher pictures 4K quality and Video recording... You got all you need to.. See the world with Sony eyes..

add to the uncompleted review

The only thing left is for Sony to give it a deserving and strong front lens cover to replace the thin plastic disposable teacup cover that comes with it.

This is a superb lens. There is nothing else to say.

Purchased for wildlife and steam railways filming. For the former, I found 'all manual' settings to be ideal. For the latter, autofocus plus manual zooming and aperture seemed to work well. Great to have the choice of options!

The 28-135mm lens range covered most of my needs. A couple of times I used the in-camera crop sensor mode, which effectively added 50% to the focal length.

the functionality and build quality is superb

The focus and zoom is smooth and accurate.

Sony seems to have a sense of humour too. ( the 95mm drinks cap for a lens cap )

that's honestly the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
