Customers are saying

Customers highly value the G Master FE 24-70 mm F2.8 GM lens for its exceptional quality, solid construction, and versatility. Many appreciate its performance in low light conditions. While some find the weight and size to be considerable, and others mention the price as a concern, these factors do not overshadow the lens's overall positive reception.

    I love my Sony A7rii, but it often took a back place to my Canon or Nikon full frame gear when I wanted to be sure of the highest image quality. Generally speaking, Sony's lenses - even their so-called "Zeiss" lenses - were not as good as the professional grade Canon L or certain Nikkor lenses. Enter the Sony "G Master" FE 24-70, which can easily compare with the best glass from Canon, Nikon, Zeiss, Voightlander, etc., but includes the added benefit of being used on the Sony A7Rii camera, with its outstanding EVF, focus magnification and focus peaking, etc. This amazing lens puts Sony on the map for serious photographers who want the best image quality from their higher MP sensors. Recommended!

    That 2.8 aperture can stay like that at any focal length providing a beautiful bokeh effect. Detailed imagery that when combined with the alpha series camera this is just a perfect camera to shoot professional pictures and video

    Best Sony lens I have ever bought, images out this lens are very sharp. Lens has a solid feel and smoot zooming and focus mechanism, it is a complement to my A7R M2. Other than the price this lens deserves a 5-star rating.

    This is THE most expensive lens i’ve ever bought. And i absolutely don’t regret it. It’s such a great lens, no chromatic abberation or warped images at the edges so far. The cons? Its hefty price tag.

    This is an incredible lens. Well built, sharp, fast to focus with a pleasing sweet bokeh. On par with high end primes. My FE35mm, FE55mm and FE90mm macro are all redundant since I purchased this lens. Great lens.

    Best all around lens. Kind of heavy but versatile. But, if you are in low light conditions 2.8 aperture is limiting

    The lens of all lenses! Turns your mirrorless camera into a beastly camera. When you’re shooting it feels like a 20 pound weight in your hand...but sharpness and clarity is off the charts
