Product Reviews

The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM delivers outstanding sharpness, beautiful bokeh, and accurate colors, making it perfect for both photography and videography. Its fast and reliable autofocus ensures excellent performance in all conditions, while the premium build and weather-sealing provide durability. The lens is versatile, handling everything from wide-angle to portrait shots with ease. For videographers, it offers minimal focus breathing and smooth manual focus. Though a premium investment, its exceptional quality and performance make it worth every penny. ⭐ Highly recommended!

I agonized, at the time, in getting Sony's GM lens. This seemed to be a lens with great optics. I have used it for some time. My only beef is that Sony, when the new/er 24-70 f2.8 II was released, there was no contact to incentivize and help purchase the newer model. That would have been SO helpful as I cannot turn around and simply buy another.

I bought this lens for my Sony A7Riv and glad I did. This lens is expensive, but if you want a perfect walk-around street lens,this is it. It is on my A7Riv 80% of the time. Colors are natural, distortion minimal and the f2.8 is handy at dusk and after dark. Like all premium 24-70 lenses, it is heavy, but you expect that. Strongly recommend this lens.

good lens paired with terrible customer service leaves me somewhat disenchanted with the whole experience. Problems had were solved but not by SONY. youtube is your best friend here so please be advised.

This has decided to fall apart and Sony don't care a jot and refuse to take any notice

My favorite of two so far, the other is Model: SEL1635GM

Probably the single most versatile lens on the market. It’s pricey but if you want the best, this is it. I absolutely love it.

Could take any kind of photo whether landscape or portrait. And also the video quality is perfect, with focus on.

pictures are clear. This is my go to for almost everything. A little heavy, but worth it.

Phenomenal piece of glass! Mostly a fast prime enthusiast, I did not expect lo like the 24-70mm GMII this much. Super Sharp and contrasty with flexibility for composition. Feels significantly smaller and lighter than version I.

I recently purchased an FX3 camera and was going back and forth on which lens to buy as my first variable zoom. I knew that whichever one I bought would bear the bulk of my work in the near future. The competitor was half the price so it was tempting. I was saving and finally just decided that I would grab the Sony because it was designed to mate with the camera perfectly. The features are very well thought out and allow me to change things on the fly very quickly (and efficiently) without compromising the shot. Very happy with this lens. The picture quality is the best I’ve captured.

I wanted the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 lens for a rather specific purpose: to take pictures indoors without flash. Yes this lens takes good pictures indoors and maybe good for things like weddings when you are close to people. However, now I take many different type of pictures and I find the a 24-70mm lens may not be the best lens to have with it’s limits. Today’s cameras allow for high IOS, for more latitude in magnification, I have used a Sony 24-240mm and gotten a acceptable indoors. So I am sorry, but a 24-70mm lens may not be for me.

This lens being one of the first G Master lenses on the market still holds up really well. Whenever someone asks "What lens is the best overall lens?" That's easy This one. 24-70 gives you great reach and decent width. Can't go wrong. Any issues I could say about it have been addressed in the new model 2.
