    This is THE most expensive lens i’ve ever bought. And i absolutely don’t regret it. It’s such a great lens, no chromatic abberation or warped images at the edges so far. The cons? Its hefty price tag.

    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.

    The lens of all lenses! Turns your mirrorless camera into a beastly camera. When you’re shooting it feels like a 20 pound weight in your hand...but sharpness and clarity is off the charts

    Best all around lens. Kind of heavy but versatile. But, if you are in low light conditions 2.8 aperture is limiting

    That 2.8 aperture can stay like that at any focal length providing a beautiful bokeh effect. Detailed imagery that when combined with the alpha series camera this is just a perfect camera to shoot professional pictures and video

    The price says it all. This lens really is a high quality lens that produces sharp images and great functionality for both manual and autofocus. If someone is looking into buying a semi-all-rounder lens then this is the one that should definitely be looked at. It is on the pricey side, but it will not disappoint for those who are willing to spend that much. I bought the Sony a7iii with the kit lens and bought this G Master lens as my “first” pro lens. As for right now it takes the shots I want and it’ll also help me grow on my photography skills.
