Awesome lens for just about everything.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a lens that I could carry with me on trips without having to swap lenses between my shots and oh boy does this bad boy delivers! It's sharp, fast and it feels great in my hand. I can use it for portraits, parties, hikes and even weddings. I don't mind the weight of this lens at all but I can see how some people may find it a bit on the heavy side. The photos I'm showing are both raw and unedited.

Love this lens for weddings!

Great Sony lens 24-70
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything looks fantastic about this awesome lens. The photos are sharp, colorful and magnificent. However, you have to pay much attention at its weight, especially during a international travel. I felt a sore and numb of my arm and hand after an hour using.

Unmatched Sharpness and Build Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens completely exceeded my expectations. The image quality is outstanding — razor-sharp even at f/2.8 and edge-to-edge across the frame. Autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate, making it perfect for both photography and video work. The build feels premium and durable, and the zoom ring has a smooth, solid feel. It’s definitely an investment, but if you’re serious about your craft, this lens is worth every penny.

Great Lens!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my go-to lens for most of my photography needs. It is well built and feels great in use. The image quality is fantastic. It is big and heavy which is to be expected for this lens. I would have given it five stars but the price is too high relative to other competitive options out there.

Very expensive but quality isn't cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as a second lens for my Sony A7R III. It clearly isn't a cheap lens by any means but once I had my hands on it in store you can feel and see the quality of it. I had pretty much decided on the Sony 24-105 f4 but wanted to try out this and ended up deciding to get this and haven't regretted it. Pros: -extremely sharp -fast lens and good for low light situations -high quality Cons -expensive -heavy and longer than many similar zoom lens

Built like a Tank, Superior Image Quality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the title says it all, the glass in this camera produces phenomenal results. So much that I took two test photos, one without a UV filter and another with one on (Hoya) and the UV filter actually degraded some of its sharpness!! This is probably going down as one of my best lenses ever owning! Keep in mind, this lens is pretty heavy for it size. I assume its due to it being built like a tank!

Sharp and nice bokeh
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lens might be a bit pricey for the hobby shooter, but it's an excellent lens for any shooter whether for video or stills. The lens is solidly built. Photos are sharp and auto-focus, if applied is fast with any of the A7 series cameras or A9 series. Cmpared with the Tamron or Sigma, which are both excellent lenses, I'd still prefer this.

One of the best lenses
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best lenses you can purchase for the Sony mirrorless system . This lens competes with the best in class Canon and Nikon lenses. It is on the pricier side, and can be quite heavy in comparison to other ear mount lenses. However you must keep in mind that this lens will only be useful on the higher end full frame camera systems, such as the Sony a9 or be a 7R3

Sharp and Versatile Lens
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've only been using it for a week or two as an amateur photographer, but image quality is superb. It's a little heavy when working on a gimbal, but it can still be done. Can't wait to continue learning about all this versatile lens can do.
