The full force of Sony’s latest lens technology brings stunning G Master resolution and exquisite bokeh together in the Full Frame F2.8 constant aperture Standard Zoom lens.
- Enhanced image quality that rivals the best primes: Excellent contrast at high spatial frequencies means superb resolution even at F2.8. Two high-precision XA elements, two ED glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and a floating focus mechanism control aberration, realize sharp, clear images.
- Small, light, and versatile: The F2.8 24-70mm zoom is small and light, compared to others in its class. It weighs just 24.6 oz, over 20% less than the previous model. It is 16 mm shorter and overall volume has been reduced by approximately 18%.
- Beautiful G Master bokeh: Beautiful, natural F2.8 bokeh extends throughout the zoom range thanks to advanced optics and a new 11-blade aperture unit. Bokeh is enhanced by precise control of spherical aberration during both design and manufacture.
- Fast, precise AF and excellent response: Four of Sony’s original XD Linear Motors, a floating focus mechanism, and advanced lens control achieve fast, precise and quiet AF with excellent tracking. Shoot at up to 30 frames per second or up to 4K 120p with a compatible camera body.
- Excellent close-up performance: Minimum focusing distance is just 8.3” at 24 mm and 11.8” at 70 mm, with maximum magnification of 0.32x. Deep bokeh at F2.8 is great for close ups.
- Minimal flare and ghosting: Nano AR Coating II technology produces a uniform anti-reflection coating on lens surfaces, effectively subduing flare and ghosting. The lens’ design suppresses internal reflections that can reduce clarity when shooting landscapes, sports, and a variety of other subjects.
- Video performance refined for visual creators: Advanced lens design reduces focus breathing, focus shift and axial shift when zooming. Image and angle of view shifts are minimized for smooth movie imagery. XD Linear Motors and a new aperture unit contribute to quiet, low-vibration operation.
- Dedicated aperture ring, click/de-click and iris lock switches: An aperture ring provides direct, rapid control. The aperture ring click stops can be turned ON to provide tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for smooth, silent control when shooting movies.
- Zoom smoothness switch, customizable focus hold buttons: Zoom ring torque can be adjusted via a two-position switch. With the switch in the Tight position the barrel won’t extend unexpectedly during transportation.
- Dust and moisture resistant design: An updated dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. Silicon seals around buttons and switches and a rubber gasket around the lens mount greatly reduce the likelihood of dust and moisture incursion.
- Aberration controlled for superb images: Two spherical elements that use ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, plus two more that use Super ED glass significantly reduce chromatic aberration for sharp reproduction without color bleeding.
- Natural, linear manual focus response: Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. It also provides precise repeatability.
- Instant auto/manual focus selection: Instantly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you choose.
- Fluorine front element coating: The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.
- Petal-shaped, bayonet mount lens hood: The supplied petal-shaped lens hood features an opening that allows convenient operation of optional circular polarizing and variable ND filters.

Great lens!
The Sony FE 24–70mm f/2.8 GM II is an excellent all-around lens that delivers consistently sharp images across the entire zoom range. Even when shooting at f/2.8, photos come out crisp with strong contrast and natural-looking colors, which makes it reliable in a variety of situations. The autofocus is quick and accurate, and it performs well for both photos and video, including when tracking moving subjects. The build quality feels solid and durable without being overly bulky, and it’s comfortable enough to use for extended periods. That said, the price is definitely one of the biggest drawbacks, especially for those who aren’t shooting professionally or using it on a regular basis. While the lens is versatile, it can feel a bit “standard” creatively compared to more specialized lenses, and the size and weight are still noticeable during longer sessions. The larger filter size is also something to keep in mind, as accessories can add to the overall cost. Overall, it’s a high-quality, dependable lens that can handle a wide range of shooting situations, but whether it’s worth the investment really depends on how often you plan to use it and what you need out of your gear.

Sony’s best lens yet! 24-70 f2.8 gm ii
I’ve used a lot of lenses over the years and the Sony 24–70mm f/2.8 GM II is easily one of the best I’ve ever owned. Sony improved everything with this second version. The lens is incredibly sharp from 24mm all the way to 70mm, even wide open at f/2.8. The colors and contrast are beautiful and the background blur looks very natural. The biggest surprise is how light and compact it is compared to the original version. It feels perfectly balanced on my Sony camera and makes long shoots much easier. The build quality is outstanding and everything about the lens feels premium. Autofocus performance is excellent. It locks on instantly and tracks subjects perfectly, even when shooting fast action. This lens works great for portraits, sports, events, and everyday photography. It’s also fantastic for video. Focus breathing is very well controlled and the aperture ring is great for smooth adjustments while filming. Yes, it’s expensive, but you truly get what you pay for. If you want a professional all-around lens that delivers amazing results in almost any situation, this is it. Highly recommend.

Pro level glass that delivers every time
I started with the Sigma 24 70 and it treated me well, but after switching to the Sony 24 70 GM II it was instantly clear why this lens has the reputation it does. The autofocus is fast and dependable, especially for video and moving subjects, and the images come out sharp edge to edge with beautiful contrast. It also feels noticeably lighter and better balanced on my camera, which matters a lot on long shoot days and when using a gimbal. The colors and overall rendering look premium without feeling overly clinical, and it holds up in every scenario I put it in from portraits to events to run and gun content. If you shoot professionally or just want the best standard zoom you can buy for E mount, this lens is an easy recommendation.
