Best 24-70mm Lens e-mount option
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lens don't guarantee you to get pro level shots but if you can handle the price and are looking for pro level emount lens with short to medium range focal ability, pro build and can maximizes your camera sensor then getting this lens is a absolutely solid purchase. Lower priced options are available but you get what you pay for.

Great Lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful lens that works very well with my Sony a7r IV. Together they take amazing photos. If I had to name one con, I would say that because it’s meant for a full frame camera and it’s good glass, it’s gather big and heavy.

Excellent all around lens!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this lens and the quality of the pictures. I took photography as a hobby and upgraded to a Sony full frame a7rii from a Sony a6000. This lens is compatible with both camera e-mount and the pictures are professional quality. Amazing bokeh and completely satisfied with this product.

Best lens in the west.. or east.. errr well anywhe
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this lens! I originally had the Canon 24-70 2.8 v2 using a metabones adapter on my sony a7rii. Great lens but it had some issues. I ended up in my local BestBuy a couple weeks after purchasing the canon and they had in stock this Sony 24-70 gmaster. I tried it out in store and fell in love with it. It's smply amazing. About the same size/weight as the canon with metabones (maybe a touch smaller actually). This lens is super fast in both photo and video mode. Photography is crisp and clean, video has a lovely af movement too. Yes, its an expensive lens!! But by the time you get the canon with metabones adapter, you're evening out the price. This lens is made for the sony cameras, and rightfully so. Highly recommended.

This Lens Replaced 2 of My Lenses
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens has quickly become my go-to lens, and has replaced 2 of the lenses in my bag. It covers a broad range of focal lengths, with the perfect f stop to still get a nice creamy background blur.

Great Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lens is great to have! A bit heavy but you get use to it. Buy a lanyard for camera. It's a great universal lens for portraits and most landscape shots! This is a must have.

Bye Bye Canon
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has always been behind in the lens department but with the GM line everything changes. This lens is amazing. I use it on almost every shoot. It's extremely sharp and the quality is second to none. It is large but that's what you should expect from a fixed 2.8 aperture. I highly recommend this lens.

Great flexibility
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from pretty much only using primes, am loving getting used to being able to zoom in and out. Please go read/watch more in depth and qualified reviews on YouTube or other photography resources to decide if you should purchase. :-)

Don't trust Open Box ratings
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered an open-box item rated as excellent and when it arrived 3 days past the scheduled promised delivery date (Elite-Plus), the lens was scratched and not everything was included in the box. I promptly took it into a local store to exchange it and they handled that perfectly, now we will get a brand new lens (cost more) but I will have peace of mind that it will be packaged correctly and not scratched. The Sony Lens is magnificent and we cannot wait to get the new one.

Edge to Edge Perfection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony FE 24-70mm G-Master lens is phenominal across the entire zoom range. The images are sharp straight out of camera (Sony A7R3) and Bokeh is gorgeous. This lens would be a valuable asset for any photographer and a must have if you are thinking of switching to a Sony system.

The Best zoom lens for Sony E mount.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As of 10-13-2016, this is the best zoom lens you get for a Sony E mount. My only gripe is that this lens is heavy, but once you get pass that is would be your all around lens.

Great landscape and group portraits lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens for landscape and group photos. Add a doubler and the 2.8 will still capture great photos. I have this lens, the 90 macro and the 70-200 with doubler if needed. Heavy glass and good construction.
