I've used this lens quite a bit. I can recommend it at this price. Bought it for slightly less a year ago but that was used.
Only gripe is the obvious one of the F4. I shoot mostly with prime lenses, but for outdoor shots in the daytime, this thing is great. I especially like it for video. It's not too big and can work on a gimbal with ease.
Not as good as my primes for picture quality, but way more flexible. I shoot outdoor events with this zoom more than my primes.

Is this thing heave for travel? I use tamoron 17-24 most of the time for the light weight. Thanks!

Replying to you and the other person above, my current one lens to rule them all is the Tamron 35-150. But the only downside is it's pretty large and hefty, so if you travel be prepared to not be able to tuck it easily and get a good arm workout. But me personally, I'd rather have tired arms and the shots I wanted

I have the Sony 24-105, I prefer the wider angle for indoor spaces, and if I need more zoom after 105, I'll use zoom in digitally. But I'd recommend using a tripod for taking telephoto photos as the further you zoom for handheld shots, the more likely you'll get blurred shots. I find 105 the most i could reach while handholding while retaining "good" results (occasional blurred tree while pixel peeping)

This lens is a fantastic travel companion in my opinion. When you have more time and preparation you can use one of your other lenses or continue to use this one. But when traveling typically shots are primarily in daytime, a blurred background beyond F4 is usually not preferable (else the picture might as well have happened anywhere), and the versatility of a 20mm wide end is much more useful in tight settings, cities, interiors, and even for wide landscapes/buildings. I do miss the tele end sometimes but much less often than I was annoyed of not being able to go wide enough for the situation when I was using a 28mm eqiuv starting zoom on APSC. Yet the size and weight are very manageable - nearly equal to the APSC 16-55 F2.8 while being equivalent in aperture (FF F4 = APSC F2.67) but significantly wider at 20mm vs 24mm and having more features with a declickable aperture ring and an extra custom button.

This Sony 20-70 F4 or the Sony 24-50 F2.8 for travel? The 24-50 range feels limited for travel but the F4 also feels limiting for low light shots. Thanks

the 20-70 f4 is best travel lens exclusive to sony(nikon adapter). The 24-50's f2.8 isn't getting you much separation. I just test it today in local best buy when I see the display camera got expensive lens now. On the 20-70 you have everything and modern camera has high useful ISO to compensate the F4.
best buy has it open box for $450ish just now, i was late to order it. Maybe available in your area.

I could add the best buy open box to my cart but it won't ship to me and I can't pick up locally. Luckily I found another option for $800 from a local seller. Heard nothing but excellent stuff about this lens so i'm looking forward to trying it.

Agree, other draw back is it doesn't have a world class min focus distance, but even though my camera plus the lens weighs 5 pounds, it gets the most use out of the collection.
