    Lens don't guarantee you to get pro level shots but if you can handle the price and are looking for pro level emount lens with short to medium range focal ability, pro build and can maximizes your camera sensor then getting this lens is a absolutely solid purchase. Lower priced options are available but you get what you pay for.

    Like you would expect from Sony their 24-70 f2.8 G Master lens boasts a solid feeling build paired with incredible sharpness worth its price point. Though more expensive than its canon or Nikon counterparts it's well worth it considering the array of Sony bodies available to couple it with.

    Love this lens! I originally had the Canon 24-70 2.8 v2 using a metabones adapter on my sony a7rii. Great lens but it had some issues. I ended up in my local BestBuy a couple weeks after purchasing the canon and they had in stock this Sony 24-70 gmaster. I tried it out in store and fell in love with it. It's smply amazing. About the same size/weight as the canon with metabones (maybe a touch smaller actually). This lens is super fast in both photo and video mode. Photography is crisp and clean, video has a lovely af movement too. Yes, its an expensive lens!! But by the time you get the canon with metabones adapter, you're evening out the price. This lens is made for the sony cameras, and rightfully so. Highly recommended.

    The Sony FE 24-70mm G-Master lens is phenominal across the entire zoom range. The images are sharp straight out of camera (Sony A7R3) and Bokeh is gorgeous. This lens would be a valuable asset for any photographer and a must have if you are thinking of switching to a Sony system.

    The G-Master series Sony lenses are definitely the gold standard for mirrorless optics. You'd be hard pressed to find any reviews that pan the product. This is an expensive lens, but for the money you'll own one of the sharpest pieces of glass currently available for the Alpha 7's.

    If you are getting into photography or videography and want a great lens that's gonna last you a long time, then this is the lens for you. -Great autofocus -Quality design -Great price (if timing is right) Now I understand the price is not appealing but you can always trust the Open Box Deals if there are any available and paying a little bit more for the protection is worth it in the long run.

    Bought the G Master 24-70 2.8 for my new Sony Alpha RIII. The results so far are fantastic. I currently have a Canon 1D IV with a similar lens. The G Master stacks-up nicely, although I don't have significant time with it to do a valid comparison. As mentioned on many sites, the size of this lens somewhat negates the small size of the camera. Still, it is easier to lug-around than the big 1D Canons. If you have large hands, you may find that t he lens and your fingers are a tight fit between the lens and the camera body. The small size of the camera body and the weight of the lens may make you want to think about an extension for the camera body (such as the Sony extended grip, or a Really Right Stuff). If you expect a large lens for this type of picture quality, you should love the lens.

    This is an incredible lens. Well built, sharp, fast to focus with a pleasing sweet bokeh. On par with high end primes. My FE35mm, FE55mm and FE90mm macro are all redundant since I purchased this lens. Great lens.
