Versatility and Precision: The Ultimate Lens for W
As a wedding and military photographer, I demand versatility, sharpness, and durability from my gear. The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM lens exceeds my expectations in every way. For weddings, its ability to handle everything from wide-angle group shots to tight, intimate portraits is invaluable. The constant f/2.8 aperture allows me to work in challenging light conditions, whether in dimly lit churches or under the open sky during outdoor ceremonies. The bokeh is beautifully smooth, adding a touch of elegance to my portraits, while the sharpness is outstanding from corner to corner of the frame, even wide open. As a military photographer, I need reliability and quick autofocus to capture fast-moving moments—whether it's action shots on the field or candid moments in dynamic environments. The FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM delivers with lightning-fast, precise autofocus, which is crucial for both fast-paced military events and wedding action shots. Plus, the lens is built to withstand tough conditions; it’s weather-sealed, which gives me peace of mind in unpredictable environments. The build quality is robust, yet not too heavy, making it comfortable to carry and shoot with for extended periods. Overall, the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM has become a core part of my kit. Its combination of versatility, image quality, and ruggedness make it an indispensable lens for both weddings and military photography. Highly recommended for any professional looking to elevate their work.

If I could only have 1 lens attached to my a7Rii
PRO's This lens is simply a workhorse, from wide angle landscape to portrait, this has become the lens I always have with my a7Rii. I haven't noticed any vignette or issues at the edges from 24 to 70mm wide open. The bokeh is impressive and almost perfectly round in all situations (quality glass and 11 blades), when wide open, this really makes your subject pop. I use the zoom lock all the time and love the focus lock button. The focus is fast, though it has a minimal noise at times (not enough to show up on video, but it is there). I suspect when I get the a7R Mark III the focus will be faster. This lens seems built for many body upgrades down the road, and I feel like I have invested wisely. EVERY shot out of this lens impresses!!! It connects very solidly to both my a7R Mark II and a6500. CON's It's pricey at $2,200. It's a tad on the heavy side, though understandably. Lens hood is plastic, though it seems durable Lens comes with a nice carry bag, I wish they had 24-70GM embroidered on the outside, because when you have 4 G Master lenses all in the same carry bags, I end up opening a few to find the one I'm looking for (btw, this is a GOOD problem to have, just making the comment in case Sony is listening ;-) They don't make a 2x teleconverter for this lens like they do for the 70-200 GM. So, to complete your trinity, consider 16-35GM and 70-200GM This lens didn't get as high of a review from dxomark.com as I would have expected, but from my usage of it so far, I'm very impressed with this lens. Though arguably it does really good compared to other 24-70 lenses in its class, it just can't compete with clarity ratings from some of the higher end prime lenses. Do not let this keep you from considering this lens. At $2,200 I would highly recommend renting it for a day or two first and seeing if it works for you on your camera and if it is worth the high price tag or not.

Hefty price, hefty weight, hefty results.
This lens is quite simply stunning. Yes it weighs a ton, yes you will have to sell a kidney to buy it, but the results are nothing less than stellar. The lens is exceptionally sharp wide open and produces "3D" stills and better than studio video. I use this on a A7RII and an A6500 (36mm to 105mm equiv. focal length). The AF on both camera bodies is lightning quick in the vast majority of lighting. Bokeh is quite pleasing (obviously faster primes will outperform for shallower DOF). Build quality is exceptional. The lens features a custom button (defaults to AF lock) and an AF/MF toggle (never use it).
