    Solid lens, great optics and options for varying focal lengths. GM 2 offers some more options for a price, but may be worth considering. My only issue was that this lens does not focus infinity, so the far off distance seems to remain slightly out of focus. GM 2 offers infinity focus.

    Excellent lens, much better than the Sony Zeiss F4 24-70. OOF rendering is very smooth and addictive. 9 rounded blade aperture is the reason. Auto focus motor is very fast and silent. Great for video too. I would buy this lens again.

    This lens made my job so much fast and easier it was astounding. The only thing it is missing is image stabilization, but since most Sony cameras have it built in it is not a huge negative

    First lens I purchased with my Sony A7RIII. Great for taking everyday normal photos and if you're shooting with clients or models it does a great job. Decent weight to it but worth it.

    This lens paired with an a7II will shoot in almost any light. I noticed how easy is is to get exactly The image that I'm seeing. Focus is almost instant. "Must have" for the serious photographer.
