Best and most versatile lens on the Market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far best lens on the market when it comes to versatility. This lens is your go to when you need to capture all sorts of high quality run and gun content without having to switch lenses. If I had just one lens in my bag it would be this one. Well worth the money and you know you are getting the protection and security you need when buying expensive gear when shopping with Best Buy. 10/10 would recommend.

I love this one!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens! I’m a beginner photographer, and I was able to shoot a wedding right away. It was fantastic not having to run around or get right up close to people to take photos—I could just stand in one spot and zoom in. Highly recommended! It’s better to spend a little more upfront than to end up paying more later.

Magic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned this lens for only about five days. It is the most expensive lens I have ever purchased by many magnitudes, and I am using it on the most expensive camera I have ever purchased (the Sony A7 IV purchased from BB). That said, my impression after four days is simple: magic. This lens is so versatile, the images so sharp, at all magnifications, even out to the edges, and colors jump off the page. I can't believe I'm generating these gorgeous images; it's just magic. I happened to be in a position when I could splurge and treat myself to such an expensive canera lens, and I am totally pleased. I know I will learn a lot more on how best to use this lens, and will grow with this lens and camera, but the results so far have exceeded my expectations. Sony knocked it out of the park. Yes, you pay a high price for this lens, but the money has been well spent.

Well worth the price of admission for handheld.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally purchased the Sony 24-105mm f/4 for my A7R IV body but one thing that kept bothering me was the mediocre handheld results with my journalistic style photography. And so I decided to return it and upgrade to the Sony 24-70 mm f/2.8 GM II lens and boy am I glad I did. More compact and smoother lens all around, much better shooting performance for handheld low light shooting, and really good bokeh and control of the depth of field allows me to really dial in my shots. I have this lens on my camera 90% of the time and I have zero complaints. Well worth the $1k price difference to get here.
