    Purchased this lens hoping it would stop me from bringing three prime lenses for a short weekend trip, or a stroll around a new town, or doing casual photography.. Paired this bad boy with my A7iii and went to Chicago as well as New York City and I was blown away by the sharpness of this lens! The ONLY two cons I can think of are, price and weight.. I still went with this lens over the Tamron and Sigma.. I just loved how this 24-70 produced pictures at every focal length.. But even after carrying my A7iii + 24-70 GM all day around NYC the weight issue seemed to not bother me as much.. Rent it from a reputable place and give it a shot, you will love it!

    Really love these lens and how versatile they are. Super sharp and fast. The only downsize is that it’s a bit heavy but I expected it to be. Worth the money.

    This is an amazing lens. It's a bit pricey but it is well worth the money. It works great in low light and the images are crisp. The F4 24-70 version is no where near as fast or sharp.

    This is probably one of the best lenses I have ever owned. I am a serious travel/landscape hobby photographer. This lens is accurate and fast on the Sony A7R3/A73. The eye autofocus is an outstanding feature when using the Sony A7R3/A73. The only real downside is that this lens can be considered heavy on the smaller mirrorless camera bodies (not too much of a downside though). Not the ideal casual walk-around lens, however, if you're doing something serious, the quality is worth the weight. Its also very expensive but if you can save up the cash for it, it's well worth the money.

    It is a great lens! I was having difficulty choosing between this and the 24-105mm f4 lens because of the extra range. But after testing both out I felt like in most situations I did not need that extra 35mm range as it felt like a minimal difference, and figured I can just crop the photo to zoom in more without losing much detail. Can't wait to use this lens for travel, though it is heavy I will probably only use this lens for travel.

    This lens is the swiss army knife of in my photo bag. Bought it "excellent open box" condition and it was literally like new. Jumped on it and do not regret it. Anyone running a Sony full frame systems should DEFINITELY have this lens in your bag. Great focal length, f/2.8 gives that great bokeh and the thing feels SOLID. Highly recommended.

    Must have universal lens - will work nicely for landscape, portrait and other usual scenarios which cover ~80% of photo use cases. Additional reach at 70mm pretty good to capture any details from the distance. Lens very sharp and fast, real power horse! Build quality is outstanding, it will probably survive more than 1 camera in your life. Highly recommended Sony lens for your kit.

    Using this lens with the a7Rii I've seen photos of what this lens can do. Read many reviews about quality. My only hesitation was dropping this much dough on a lens. I've never invested in (non-kit) lens because photography was just a casual hobby. This is my first serious investment in a professional-level lens and have no regrets! The crispness! The softness in bokeh! The ability to shot in lower light scenarios! New possibilities to explore which makes me want to shoot even more!

    The best versatile zoom lens out there! I’m a California Wedding and Lifestyle photographer, I used this lens 100% ever since I bought it and has really helped me not miss any type of shots! Couple, candid, details, landscape, and silhouette. I love the built and quality of the lens. It never leaves my side….

    The 24-70 mm lens is the perfect lens for me when I go out to shoot music videos because it has everything I need. The F2.8 is beautiful and really captures that nice bokeh when zoomed. It's a all in one lens. The best package one could ask for. I could talk about the build quality all day too. This lens just feels really professional. 10/10

    While it's a very heavy lens for its aperture range and and speed, its quality of image coupled with its camera's [Sony A7R2] stabilization showed impressive detail even in night photography without a tripod. Night lights in indoor shots were equally consistent with its outdoor performance...For those who can afford it, this lens is a "keeper". JBGOOD

    I've been a photographer for 4 years now and i needed an upgrade. So i bought the Sony A7RIII (I used to use Canon). So i needed a premium Lens to go with the camera, that's when i found the 24-70 Gmaster lens. This lens is sharp, it takes advantage of the 42MP inside the A7RIII, the focus is fast. Overall, I am happy with this lens. A 24-70mm is so versatile, great for landscapes, indoor, and portraits.

    I bought this lens fir my Sony A7riii. I am switching over from Nikon because I like the Sony camera better. Since I used the Nikon 24-70 the most on my D810 I decided this would be the lens to get first. So far it is a great lens. It is a little heavy but the picture quality makes carrying the extra weight worth it. I have not had any problems with this lens. It just takes great pictures.
