    Great lens with very smooth autofocus. this is one of those “should have” lenses in you kit. I could shoot a whole wedding with just this lens. Downside is the price.

    If you buy this you probably already know what you're getting. It's very heavy, as expected. Coupled with my A7riii I'll probably look for a new carrying option other than a basic neck strap. It locks in place at 24mm. The autofocus and focus lock are amazing. Just buy it.

    Good lens with one major design flaw

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So the build quality on this lens is good. It is sharp and feels good. The one unfortunate thing that made me give it only 3 stars is it the poor construction design. Unlike a true professional lens, this lens has the end of the lens that protrudes out as you zoom similar to a cheap kit lens. This is most unfortunate that you spend this much money and Sony can't take the time to do a decent construction design. Hoping they will get their act together by the time they release the next version of this lens. Based on this (and given the cost) I cannot recommend this lens.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Probably the most iconic lens for pros. Great quality, good aperture, decent zoom, and that little button on the side you can customize to anything, (a different way to back-button autofocus, etc). Gonna be in my camera arsenal for a long time.

    The Sony FE 24-70 f/2.8 GM lens is a really useful lens. I use it primarily for flowers and insects . It provides high resolution shots combined with my Sony Alpha 7 iii camera. I don’t do a lot of portrait work but this lens should also do well in this application.

    Sharp, especially for a zoom. Not cheap, but resolves great on the higher resolution cameras such as the A7RIV. AF is quick and snappy in good light, but can be a touch slow in low light, but that can be said about the majority of lenses

    I'm still new to Sony e-mount. The lens is good. I'm not sure its 2000 plus dollars good. Its not weather proof. Only weather resistant. Has some barrel distortion. But overall seems sharp.

    I just received this lens and took it for a walk. Paired with my a7rii the IQ is pretty mind blowing. The color rendering and sharpness are fantastic. Auto-focus is quick. I programmed the focus hold button on the lens to trigger eye-autofocus and it works like a charm. I can't see this lens coming off of my camera anytime soon.
