    Great product; but had a bug

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

    This is one of Sony's best lenses and based on reviews it is one of the best lenses on the market for an 85mm prime lens. This takes great portrait photos....super sharp, clear, and crisp. And a super fast lens. BUT I couldn't give it 5 stars because when I bought it the firmware was really buggy and it had a hard time autofocussing and was really loud. As in the AF motor is super loud and was just constantly searching for the subject. I spent an hour on the phone with Sony trying to troubleshoot it. They couldn't fix it and said I could send it in for repair. It was a brand new lens so I didn't want a "repaired" lens. I read online that other people had the same issue and they fixed it by updating the firmware. This did not help me so I went ahead and exchanged it for a new one. The new one did not have the same issues so now I am happy. And it takes fantastic pics.

    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

    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

    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.

    Loved the lens! Great video and photos but it was the size and weight that I didn’t like. Sharp images with constant 2.8 is what you would expect from Sony and their G master glass. I ultimately returned and got the Sony G 24-105 F4. I plan to save & get the GM 24-70 Mark II

    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.
