    This lens is the best in its class. I use this lens on my Sony A7iii and I get the sharpest and fastest focus of all my lenses. While the lens is bigger than all my others it delivers quality the others cant. I would highly recommend this as a event lens.

    This lens has great build quality. I've been shooting pro Nikon for years and am looking to lighten my load so I chose Sony mirrorless system. So far I have been very happy with the quality of the lens and the images. It is very sharp and quick focus. Excited to purchase more lenses in the future!

    Like you would expect from Sony their 24-70 f2.8 G Master lens boasts a solid feeling build paired with incredible sharpness worth its price point. Though more expensive than its canon or Nikon counterparts it's well worth it considering the array of Sony bodies available to couple it with.

    This lens is build solid. Quite heavy also. A good choice lens if I just want to grab one lens to shoot with. A good walking around lens and probably the most recommended lens for wedding photographers, that would be the 24-70 mm focal length lens. Only downside is the price but you get what you pay for.

    Good Multipurpose Lens

    Good multipurpose lens for real estate, landscape or portrait photography. Produces sharp and good quality photos. First couple times using this lens, focus setting was a little hard to nail. Face detection on my Sony A7iii wasn't too accurate and lens was focused on a different area than what was selected. Other than that and the weight of the lens, no other issues.

    Have a high-resolution Sony camera? Need superior optics for your photography? Do you want nice photographic rendering for your pictures without harsh contrast or soft corners? This is a professional lens and it does its job. There aren't any concessions that you'll find with 3rd party lenses such as firmware, focusing or build issues. Sure, this is a premium lens at a premium price that some people can't afford or justify. Considering it's a telephoto/zoom lens, it's performance justifies the cost - it's a convenient alternative to working with a handful of prime lenses. Color accuracy, sharpness, ability to resolve a 61 megapixel sensor, quick focusing - there are no pitfalls with this lens. The devil is in the details, and the details make this lens great.

    I would say I got what I paid for when it comes to the quality feel of this lens. The only reason I gave this lens 4 stars is because it is pretty heavy. I even used it on an a6400, I do understand this is because of the great quality glass used inside, which is completely understandable but I'm sure we'll get there one day! ;) Besides that I love the fact that I can take this for a quick shoot and get all sorts of angles if im on a time crunch.

    This lense is everything it's cracked up to be and more! I don't think I'll ever want another 24-70 after trying this one. It has very clear detailed images and the button on the side is a nice touch. I'll probably get more G master lenses since this one was worth the extra money.

    If you are getting into photography or videography and want a great lens that's gonna last you a long time, then this is the lens for you. -Great autofocus -Quality design -Great price (if timing is right) Now I understand the price is not appealing but you can always trust the Open Box Deals if there are any available and paying a little bit more for the protection is worth it in the long run.

    Expensive, but worth it. Great multipurpose lens, I can get the majority of the shots I want with this one lens. I find it very comparable to Canon’s L-Series 24-70 2.8. With the G Master series , Sony finally has the lenses that warrant the switch from Canon or Nikon.

    Should be everyone's first lens if buying full frame Sony. Crisp and perfect. It's z tad on the heavier side, but this is a walking around and shooting marvel. Definitely go native glass on this one!

    Excellent carry-around lens spanning wide-angle(landscape) to telephoto(portrait) lens with corner to corner sharpness. Expensive but quality is top notch. Bit heavy. Autofocus is better than I expected. Sharp even at wide open(2.8). Very happy with the purchase.
