Sony SEL FE 20-70mm f4 G

I was worried the 20-70mm range might be too wide for everyday use, but the ultra-wide end actually makes landscapes look incredible without any distortion. The constant f4 keeps exposure consistent from wide to telephoto, and the zoom ring is just the right amount of resistance for smooth adjustmen

The constant f4 aperture held up perfectly through a dimly lit indoor shoot, and the 20mm wide end fits way more of the room into frame than I expected. Sharpness wide open is genuinely impressive for a zoom.

Switching from my old kit lens, this 20-70mm range is a huge upgrade for real estate walkthroughs—the extra width at 20mm captures entire rooms without backing through a wall. The focus is whisper-quiet during video, which I didn’t realize I needed until I tried it.
