    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.

    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. :-)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The G-Master series Sony lenses are definitely the gold standard for mirrorless optics. You'd be hard pressed to find any reviews that pan the product. This is an expensive lens, but for the money you'll own one of the sharpest pieces of glass currently available for the Alpha 7's.

    I’ve had this lens for a couple of weeks and the image quality that I get is superb. The pictures are nice and sharp and of nicely saturated colors, all without post processing. The lens is expensive, but well worth the money. Glad I bought it!

    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.

    Beautiful pictures. So far I have used this lens in indoor gym fluorescent lighting and dim theater lighting. I just use auto setting and pictures have such crisp color. Can’t wait to see how brillant pictures will be in natural light.
