Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the outstanding image quality and fast, reliable autofocus. They also appreciate its lighter weight, versatility, and excellent performance in low light conditions, with a perfect zoom range for general use. The primary concern raised by some customers, however, is the product's price.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    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.
