Best all around lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fast, great focus and good mid range being 24-70 allows me to be wide and tight instead of being locked to a 50mm and has much better build

Fast native midrange zoom
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very solid, well-built lens. And the sharpness is definitely there. It would be an overstatement to say it runs rings around the Zeiss 24-70, took a few test shots with both lenses, there is a difference, especially at the edges. Having a wider aperture takes a lot of the sting out of the price and bulk over the Zeiss. And it seems to have much better transmission - with a setting on a tripod 1/80 sec, ISO100, A7RM2 selected f5.6 on the GM, while the Zeiss had to open up to 4.5.

Did Sony Screw Up?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nope, just the opposite. This is a great lens! I'm making the switch from Nikon to Sony and I've been comparing this lens to my Nikon 24-70mm and I'm in love with this lens. I don't use auto focus a lot but when I do I love that I can't hear it! It's sharp, great bokeh... and yes to me the bokeh on this lens looks better than my Nikon. I can't find anything bad to say about it.

Amazing shots/beast lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality is def a GM. The focus noise is a bit noticeable, but my main issue is how large the lens is. I get that it’s super quality, but it’s hard to argue against such a beast lens defeating the point of a mirrorless design. Still can’t go wrong if you can afford it though.
I would recommend this to a friend Great but used was def used.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.AMAZING lens. Cinema color grading comes out lush and deep. Condition was not really as expected. The condition was listed as excellent but there was obvious use. The discount was still substantial but not sure if it was worth not getting a new one.

Great Pro Sony Zoom Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is one of my favorite lenses now. Great quality with its zoom range. I was in love with prime lens shooting but this made me ditch it! This lens competes with the Canon L lenses. It's fast, clear and crisp, and even has the auto/manual focus switch on the side which makes things easier since we all know how crazy Sony's menu systems are

Sony gm 24-70
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is incredibly sharp and autofocus is very quick. The is a very versatile lens and I use it for everything. It's great for wide shots at 24mm 2.8 such as astro photos and at 35-70mm great for portraits. I mostly shoot portraits in college such as graduation photos and each shot is sharp and quick.

Amazing 24-70
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is everything you expected it to be. For the price, it's well worth it. I owned a 25mm, 35mm, and 55mm lens (all zeiss) and this lens easily replaced my primes. It's that good. I don't regret giving up 3lens for this one. I'm really happy with my purchase
