    I’ve had this lens for almost 2yrs. I totally recommend it. Takes sick pics and depth of field. Good for low light. Heavy to travel but it’s my go to lens.

    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.

    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.

    Using this lens with the a7Rii I've seen photos of what this lens can do. Read many reviews about quality. My only hesitation was dropping this much dough on a lens. I've never invested in (non-kit) lens because photography was just a casual hobby. This is my first serious investment in a professional-level lens and have no regrets! The crispness! The softness in bokeh! The ability to shot in lower light scenarios! New possibilities to explore which makes me want to shoot even more!

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.

    I bought this lens fir my Sony A7riii. I am switching over from Nikon because I like the Sony camera better. Since I used the Nikon 24-70 the most on my D810 I decided this would be the lens to get first. So far it is a great lens. It is a little heavy but the picture quality makes carrying the extra weight worth it. I have not had any problems with this lens. It just takes great pictures.

    This lens is great open wide at 24 mm And even more versatile at 70 mm. Paired with my Sony a7iii and the clear image zoom option I find myself never having to change lenses while traveling or while using it for work! The only con I can think of for this lens is the weight, but the picture quality makes up for this immediately

    This is a pricey piece of glass. I wanted to treat myself to one G Master lens for my a7rii, and the 24-70 is kind of my every day lens. It produces tack sharp images with a nice smooth bokeh. If you're going to go with one G master lens, I would suggest the 24-70. The 24-70 f/4 lens is kind of weak, while the f/4 versions of the 16-35 and 70-200 are still very good lenses.
