The last 3 years or so I have been adding to my Sony lens collection, & have some impressive glass at this point. But one of the very first ones I picked up, a Tamron 28-75 VXD G2, in so many ways remains my favorite.

Lightweight, fast-focusing, quiet, & reasonably priced. It is capable of producing some stunningly sharp pics.

Even compressed some 75% for example, the detail of this Steller's Jay is something.
