Is the Sony Kit Lens (SEL2870) Worth Using? Honest Review + Bokeh Test

If you’re shooting with the Sony a7IV or another full-frame Sony mirrorless camera, you’ve probably come across the Sony SEL2870 kit lens. I've been working on an in depth review, and want to give my honest, casual shared opinion of the 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens after using it in real-world conditions.

I cover:

The lens’s biggest weaknesses: limited aperture, noticeable barrel and pincushion distortion, and edge softness.

Its surprising strengths: lightweight design and weather sealing.

A side-by-side comparison of bokeh with this kit lens vs a prime lens to show the real-world difference in depth of field.

If you're wondering whether to keep the kit lens or upgrade, this video is for you.
