Open box
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens didn’t really focus that well. A bit disappointed but that’s the risk you take on buying open box but I’m just gonna buy the new version of this lens. Love Sony lens!

Terrible lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely horrible lens. I sold my Tamron 28-75 G2 to purchase this lens and ended up taking it back. Terrible lens flare and vignette when shooting in the sun. I never had that problem with Tamron. I shoot tons of sunsets and have never had a problem until using that GM. It should be a crime to sell a lens for 1500 that doesn’t even perform properly.

Posted .Hello WilliamC, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with this lens. We do appreciate your honest feedback as it will help us to keep improving future products. The diameter on the Sony 24-70GM is larger than the Tamron 28-75mm. By having a larger diameter it results in a brighter image and better resolution, which can be especially useful for observing faint objects or capturing detailed images. But with larger diameter, when pointed shooting in the sun, it can catch more light which results in higher possibilities of lens flare. We recommend shooting with the hood on to minimize this effect. For further questions, please reach out to Sony Support at 239-245-6360. Thank you for choosing Sony. -Linda 12-30-23 Sony Social Support

Great lens for my sony a7sII
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a Nikon user for a long time. First I got Blackmagic pocket (HD) and then Blackmagic production camera 4k. Both of them are great, but very weak in low light. I worked with Sony a7s on a shoot with my nikon lenses and liked low light performance. When a7sII (4K) came out - i got it. But the problem was with my nikon lenses. A lot of them for croped sensor size. I was looking for something in range 24-70 with f2.8. Solution with an adapter I didn't like. Almost none of them works with autofocus in video mode. I considered Sony 28-135mm f4, but it is too dark. So sony 24-70 is pretty expensive, but it works fine with autofocus in video mode. It is really heavy. And it completely silent which is great for video.

What a lens! Sharp is an understatement!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the 24-70 F/4 lens which I feel is an average lens thar doesn't produce the clarity and sharpness I get from the 16-35 F/4, which has been my primary lens for my Sony A7R II. When the GM 24-70 came out, I hesitated because of the price, but the reviews were so stellar that I decided to make the investment. The reviews didn't prepare me for how INSANE this lens is! I am BLOWN AWAY by how sharp and clear it is, my RAW images look like JPEGS! There is so much DETAIL and CLARITY that I feel like I'm looking directly at the scene, and not at a photo! My post-processing is MINIMAL now, everything is stunning, there is no noise or grain.... I can't even describe it, you just have to see for yourself. You will not be disappointed with the GM lens. What a DREAM! It is a bit bigger than the Zeiss lenses, but no bigger than standard Canon/Nikon lenses. Even if it was the size of a telephoto, I'd wear a freaking wrist brace to hold it up, just to get the quality in this glass! This is a MUST buy for those seeking reduced post-processing time and unsurpassed clarity - sell all your old gear if you have to, this lens is so worth it! I'm waiting for the GM 16-35 next, then my life will be complete!!

Get this - If you need flexible shooting
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Lense has been the best versatile lense I own.. It's helped me get both wide and zoom shots. It's a good compromise for both worlds. Pairing this with my fx30 has been great. It's very helpful for situations where you need to be flexible, and prime lenses just don't offer what this does. I do recommend it!

Phenomenal Lens
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When the lens came out, it was sold out everywhere. Best buy was the only place that can ship it to me in a matter of a couple days. The lens is so sharp and versatile for everyday use. This will be Sony's best Zoom lens yet.

Great lens
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is very very sharp and works great with the A7IV. It's fast to focus. The only issue is that it is big.
