Q: QuestionDoes this lens come with a Sony USA warranty? Is Best Buy an authorized USA Sony dealer?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes, Best Buy is a Sony Authorized dealer, and the lens came with the Sony USA warrantyAnswered by Rich
- A: AnswerIf you're far from the court then this length isn't the best option. The 70-200mm fe f2.8 lens will allow more close up shots while sitting farther away. If you'll be taking shots while close to the court primarily for one area of action around the area you're sitting then the 24-70mm f2.8 you're inquiring about will do great. As for hunting and low light shooting for 24-70mm emount lens options currently available this lens is the best option to help minimize hunting and provide a better photo capturing opportunity.

Q: QuestionWill this lens work on the sony alpha a6300?(5 answers)
A: AnswerYes Henry this lens works great on the a6300. I primarily use my 24-70 GM on my a7R mark II, but I also have the a6300 and a6500 and use those for run and gun shooting. Just keep in mind that the a6300 is a crop sensor APS-C, so with Sony, you have to multiply by 1.5x. So when on the a6300, this lens is like a 36-105. I can vouch for the images being amazing on the a6300/a6500. It's a great investment, and down the road if you invest in a full frame a7, a9, E Mount body, you will already have the best quality lens in this range. My philosophy on Camera's is to invest in the lenses, and upgrade the bodies.Answered by Hangs4Fun

Impressive lens
This lens is unbelievably sharp at all focal lengths and at 2.8f, the bokeh is just gorgeous! The build quality is solid and that side button on the barrel is very handy for eye AF. I recently switched from Canon to all Sony system and this was my first lens. And will be my only lens for a while. It's that good! There's no denying that it's an expensive lens and it's quite heavy but the final image quality totally negates both of those points for me. If you want razor sharp images and can justify the price, I would highly recommend this lens.

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).
