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 this lens, I hope they update it though. Its been few years since this has come out It did arrive late but thats not the lens fault lol it’s understandable during these times for items to arrive late. But other then that, i do recommend these lens. I had a 24GM but wanted the zoom. I have Sigma 24-70 for mirrorless as well as this one. Both are AMAZING. Its still a debate whether or not to keep one or the other, pairing it with my A7R4

    overall I LOVE this lens!! I prefer a lens that can zoom and this is a high quality option for that that I think rivals a prime for sure. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that in low light settings I have to worry about banding a lot more than I ever have with any other lens before, including when I shot on Canon in the past and also used a 24-70 2.8.

    Exceptional quality with this lens. I prefer prime lenses, but opted to go with this one to cover a majority of my needs from the get go. I would recommend this to anyone who can only buy one lens for their new full frame Alpha, unless that person only has one specific need for a lens, in which case i would say to stick to a prime. I am happy with my purchase. Happy to be a Gmaster owner

    It also rivals the Canon 24-70 F2.8 II It's expensive but if your income depends on quality glass and hate switching to primes (trust me, this is compares to the legendary Zeiss 55 F1.8 in sharpness) and great color rendition.

    A 24 to 70mm f/2.8 is a classic and must have zoom lens. A powerful 7RII full frame camera requires quality glass to record sharp details. This lens was the matching combo for my Sony camera. I am satisfied using it and at times this zoom lens is all I need to cover an outdoors adventure. I would suggest using PhaseOne software to fine tune your images. This software is supplied when you buy a Sony camera. The lens weight is just like any other f/2.8 lenses out there. Happy pictures everyone!

    I am enjoying this lens thus far. I tried an off-brand lens, but it did not hold a candle to the G Master. A little expensive but I think it will be well worth the investment.

    I bought this as a replacement for my FE24-70 f4 that was stolen from my car. While I did not want to spend the extra money on this lens, I am quite happy with the results. The bokeh is soft, while the focus is super sharp. If you don't mind the extra size and weight, it is well worth the cost.
