Great Pro Sony Zoom Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is one of my favorite lenses now. Great quality with its zoom range. I was in love with prime lens shooting but this made me ditch it! This lens competes with the Canon L lenses. It's fast, clear and crisp, and even has the auto/manual focus switch on the side which makes things easier since we all know how crazy Sony's menu systems are

Great but used was def used.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AMAZING lens. Cinema color grading comes out lush and deep. Condition was not really as expected. The condition was listed as excellent but there was obvious use. The discount was still substantial but not sure if it was worth not getting a new one.

Amazing 24-70
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is everything you expected it to be. For the price, it's well worth it. I owned a 25mm, 35mm, and 55mm lens (all zeiss) and this lens easily replaced my primes. It's that good. I don't regret giving up 3lens for this one. I'm really happy with my purchase

Sony gm 24-70
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is incredibly sharp and autofocus is very quick. The is a very versatile lens and I use it for everything. It's great for wide shots at 24mm 2.8 such as astro photos and at 35-70mm great for portraits. I mostly shoot portraits in college such as graduation photos and each shot is sharp and quick.

Great product; but had a bug
||Posted .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.

Another Sony Winner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
