    this lens os amazing. i primarily shoot on primes but this zoom lens is worth it. i did not have a chance to use the original 24-70gm and i thought about making that purchase due to the price point but after feeling the weight difference along with the new features on the gm2 i do NOT regret my purchase.

    What can you say about this lens? The original which I own is great and the one is just next level. For the price and weight alone I’d say it’s worth it if you’re a working professional who needs the absolute best.
