Bought the G Master 24-70 2.8 for my new Sony Alpha RIII. The results so far are fantastic. I currently have a Canon 1D IV with a similar lens. The G Master stacks-up nicely, although I don't have significant time with it to do a valid comparison. As mentioned on many sites, the size of this lens somewhat negates the small size of the camera. Still, it is easier to lug-around than the big 1D Canons. If you have large hands, you may find that t he lens and your fingers are a tight fit between the lens and the camera body. The small size of the camera body and the weight of the lens may make you want to think about an extension for the camera body (such as the Sony extended grip, or a Really Right Stuff). If you expect a large lens for this type of picture quality, you should love the lens.

Over all great lens. I’ve been very impressed with the quality of images I’ve been able to produce with my Sony a7iii. I’ve been working with it about 3 weeks in different lighting conditions and I can’t find anything I don’t like about it so far. It’s larger than the other lenses I own. It comes with a protective case and I love that extra piece of mind I have because of the case when traveling with it.

Purchased this lens hoping it would stop me from bringing three prime lenses for a short weekend trip, or a stroll around a new town, or doing casual photography.. Paired this bad boy with my A7iii and went to Chicago as well as New York City and I was blown away by the sharpness of this lens! The ONLY two cons I can think of are, price and weight.. I still went with this lens over the Tamron and Sigma.. I just loved how this 24-70 produced pictures at every focal length.. But even after carrying my A7iii + 24-70 GM all day around NYC the weight issue seemed to not bother me as much.. Rent it from a reputable place and give it a shot, you will love it!

I was thoroughly impressed with the Sony G Master FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens. It delivers exceptional image quality with sharp, detailed photos and smooth, beautiful bokeh. The constant F2.8 aperture provides excellent low-light performance, and the build quality is robust and weather-sealed.

Really love these lens and how versatile they are. Super sharp and fast. The only downsize is that it’s a bit heavy but I expected it to be. Worth the money.

This is probably one of the best lenses I have ever owned. I am a serious travel/landscape hobby photographer. This lens is accurate and fast on the Sony A7R3/A73. The eye autofocus is an outstanding feature when using the Sony A7R3/A73. The only real downside is that this lens can be considered heavy on the smaller mirrorless camera bodies (not too much of a downside though). Not the ideal casual walk-around lens, however, if you're doing something serious, the quality is worth the weight. Its also very expensive but if you can save up the cash for it, it's well worth the money.

It is a great lens! I was having difficulty choosing between this and the 24-105mm f4 lens because of the extra range. But after testing both out I felt like in most situations I did not need that extra 35mm range as it felt like a minimal difference, and figured I can just crop the photo to zoom in more without losing much detail. Can't wait to use this lens for travel, though it is heavy I will probably only use this lens for travel.

Such a phenomenal lens. Extremely sharp and the AF is fast. Versatile for basically everything. I use this for rave/event photography. This has been my go to lens since I got it. Literally never comes off my camera. This lens is high quality and built to last. Worth every penny.

This lens is the swiss army knife of in my photo bag. Bought it "excellent open box" condition and it was literally like new. Jumped on it and do not regret it. Anyone running a Sony full frame systems should DEFINITELY have this lens in your bag. Great focal length, f/2.8 gives that great bokeh and the thing feels SOLID. Highly recommended.

Must have universal lens - will work nicely for landscape, portrait and other usual scenarios which cover ~80% of photo use cases. Additional reach at 70mm pretty good to capture any details from the distance. Lens very sharp and fast, real power horse! Build quality is outstanding, it will probably survive more than 1 camera in your life. Highly recommended Sony lens for your kit.

It is well worth the money! If you have to affirm or get a Best Buy credit card ! You will not regret it. My go to lens
Wowbango Posted
This is the be all end all of lenses. This will be on my A7III 90% of the time. It's extremely sharp, build quality is top notch and it's the perfect zoom length for most situations. Yes it is pricier than the Canon/Nikon equivalents, but it does not disappoint. The low-light performance is fantastic, and works incredibly well with Sony's EYE-AF. Only wish I had purchased it sooner! EVERY Sony Shooter should have this in their kit.

The best versatile zoom lens out there! I’m a California Wedding and Lifestyle photographer, I used this lens 100% ever since I bought it and has really helped me not miss any type of shots! Couple, candid, details, landscape, and silhouette. I love the built and quality of the lens. It never leaves my side….

The 24-70 mm lens is the perfect lens for me when I go out to shoot music videos because it has everything I need. The F2.8 is beautiful and really captures that nice bokeh when zoomed. It's a all in one lens. The best package one could ask for. I could talk about the build quality all day too. This lens just feels really professional. 10/10

While it's a very heavy lens for its aperture range and and speed, its quality of image coupled with its camera's [Sony A7R2] stabilization showed impressive detail even in night photography without a tripod. Night lights in indoor shots were equally consistent with its outdoor performance...For those who can afford it, this lens is a "keeper". JBGOOD

I've been a photographer for 4 years now and i needed an upgrade. So i bought the Sony A7RIII (I used to use Canon). So i needed a premium Lens to go with the camera, that's when i found the 24-70 Gmaster lens. This lens is sharp, it takes advantage of the 42MP inside the A7RIII, the focus is fast. Overall, I am happy with this lens. A 24-70mm is so versatile, great for landscapes, indoor, and portraits.
