The Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II Lens is an exceptional lens that lives up to its big reputation. The image quality is incredibly sharp from edge to edge, with beautiful color rendition and contrast.

This lens is a true workhorse, perfect for a wide range of shooting scenarios from portraits to landscapes. I recently upgraded to this lens, and it has exceeded all my expectations.

One of the standout features is its versatility. The 24-70mm focal length range covers a broad spectrum of shooting needs, from wide-angle landscapes to tight portraits. This makes it an ideal lens for general-purpose use, whether you’re a professional photographer or a dedicated hobbyist. Overall, the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II Lens is an exceptional lens that delivers superb image quality and performance. Its combination of sharpness, low-light capability, and versatility makes it a valuable addition to any camera system. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their photography!

What can I say that hasn’t been said before? This is the king of all around use lenses. It replaces many prime lenses. I had the Zeiss model for a few years and finally bought this one. My son inherited the Zeiss. This one stays fixed on my A7C2. I still have other lenses to reach out further or closer on the A6700, but for my general use for photos and videos, I use this one. I bought it with my own money, no promos or anything like that. Yes it’s very expensive as Sony lenses go, but I’d buy it again.

Super sharp

My workhouse, out and about lens. A must have. The f/2.8 is worth every penny. My lens trifecta includes this lens, the Sony f/2.8 100mm macro, and the 70-200mm f/2.8 with 2x teleconverter. This trio has never failed me on my travels.

Sony's GM2 series of lenses are pretty spectacular and this one is well worth the cost. With a focal range of 24-70mm it's an excellent lens for medium range shooting. The auto focus is super fast and images are sharp and clear. Bokeh is smooth and wide ranging as depth of field is adjusted with f-stop. This lens is equally adept shooting still photagraphy and video. This lens is very well built and with proper care will hold it's value for many many years. I highly recommend it.

Image quality and low light / speed capability superior. Great focal range from wide to short telephoto. I use mainly for landscape and travel. Great usability (buttons, placement, how it works with camera software). But, still heavy enough to be a burden to carry around everywhere if you are a minimalist. But, it’ll have to do if you want that range with low light and speed. The hood drives me nuts. Difficult to put on, always a hassle. Interior is like felt and collects all sorts of dust and pet hairs. Annoyed! My alternative considerations, as someone who has back problems and doesn’t like to carry around a lot if stuff or bulky/heavy stuff include: Replacing with Sony GM 16-35 2.8 when they make version 2, or my Tamron 17-28 2.8. My telephoto needs are already fullfilled with light weight hassle free Tamron 70-300 4.5-6.3, and I wouldn’t have to carry my Voigtlander 15mm. For landscape/travel/wildlife, I rarely use 35-65mm focal range (maybe 10-20% of time, and I feel like I could make those pics work if I didn’t have that focal range). However, being able to go from wide to short telephoto without changing lenses is valuable. Replacing with Tamron 28-200 2.8-5.6, and I could leave my Tamron 70-300 4.5-6.3 home. Lose some speed and quality for convenience. Seems liberating. But in practice will cause difficulty in the longer end capturing dawn/dusk (low light), getting sharp photos without tripod, birds/wildlife frozen in action (high shutter that low aperture enables), etc. Tamron 35-150 2-2.8 very interesting, but too heavy (~67% heavier). Tamron 28-75 2.8 I hear is comparable. Lighter and much cheaper. I would need to test. I might miss the 24mm and possibly snappy autofocus Sony-Sony has. Sigma 24-70 2.8. Heavier, albeit cheaper. Too heavy for me. Good luck!

Bought this for my son's Birthday . He says the thing works perfectly.

Que lente más bonito. Es un poquito más pesado del Tamron y el zoom es para afuera (se extiende al hacer más zoom). Rapidez y calidad de imagen impresionante. Muero por sacarlo a pasear!

Top notch

This is an amazing lens. I never thought I would need this, but it is worth the money. I know it's 2x the Sigma but i have an A6700 and it pairs so well with it (36-105mm FF equivalent). it's sharp and great for sports photography (as long as you're close enough). can't way enough good things about this lens. it's amazing. Well worth the money. it's my first sony lens and i have used SIgma mostly before this. I have the 18-50mm but this lens is even better in my opinion (both are f/2.8). Anyways, this is the lens i didn't know i needed.

El mejor lente si tienes cámara sony, la distancia focal te sirve para casi todo

Nothing to dislike. Absolutely love this lens . It’s expressive but worth the investment.
