The full force of Sony’s latest lens technology brings stunning G Master resolution and exquisite bokeh together in the world’s lightest2 Full Frame F2.8 constant aperture Standard Zoom lens. With significantly evolved AF performance, the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM OSS II can deliver the full potential of today’s advanced still and movie cameras..Zoom system : Manual. Angle of View (35mm) : 84°-34°. Angle of View (APS-C) : 61°-23°.
Excellent contrast at high spatial frequencies means superb resolution even at F2.8. Two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements, and a floating focus mechanism control aberration, realize sharp, clear images at all zoom and aperture settings.
This lens is the smallest and lightest F2.8 24-70mm zoom in its class2. It weighs just 24.6 oz (695 g), over 20% less than the previous model.

A new aperture unit also contributes to high speed, enabling full AF tracking performance with the aperture stopped down4.

XD Linear Motors and a new aperture unit contribute to quiet, low-vibration operation. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α series bodies is also supported5

Ain’t Nothing But A G Thang!
It’s a G Master with the price tag. Great lens and definitely a major one for the kit

Wide zoom that creates images like your best prime !
This is super quick focusing and incredibly sharp at all focal lengths. I combined this lens with the Sony A7CII a fast and reliable camera. I’ve had over 40 years of shooting experience and this lens is one of the best, if not the best wide zoom I’ve shot. Look at the lens test on dpreview dot com to see and download raw files from this combination. My dad always said that there’s not one pair of shoes that will do it all. Same goes for lenses. But this lens will live on my camera 95% of the time.

Excellent service and lens!
I contacted the seller about FedEx attempting to deliver my lens to my neighbor (they weren’t home and unable to sign). They answered me right away after the holiday and made sure they made it to my house on the next attempt. Super happy with this seller!The lens itself is awesome so far. I tried it out right away to ensure it made it alright after being shuffled around with delivery. Will report back once I’ve had a chance to play and edit!

The Only Lens You Need
If you can only get one lens for Sony mirrorless cameras – THIS IS THE ONE. Everything about it is ideal. The image quality is the best you’re gonna get in its class. The autofocus is unmatched (make sure to turn on breathing compensation for the smoothest focus). If you need something tighter, activate the Super-35 mode (if you can). With an 82mm thread size, slap on a V-ND filter (K&F for me) and you can get the sharpest 2.8 aperture shots in almost any setting. Incredible performance in a great compact fit. This lens is sooooo close to perfect to me.My only wish – I’d love to see Sony come up with a way to minimize or eradicate the extended lens when zooming in or out, like they did with the 70-200mm GMII but with the small overall size of the lens, I can’t imagine how tricky it would be to get it done.

Great all around. Still heavy enough. Hood bad.
Image quality and low light / speed capability superior. Great focal range from wide to short telephoto. I use mainly for landscape and travel. Great usability (buttons, placement, how it works with camera software). But, still heavy enough to be a burden to carry around everywhere if you are a minimalist. But, it’ll have to do if you want that range with low light and speed. The hood drives me nuts. Difficult to put on, always a hassle. Interior is like felt and collects all sorts of dust and pet hairs. Annoyed!My alternative considerations, as someone who has back problems and doesn’t like to carry around a lot if stuff or bulky/heavy stuff include:Replacing with Sony GM 16-35 2.8 when they make version 2, or my Tamron 17-28 2.8. My telephoto needs are already fullfilled with light weight hassle free Tamron 70-300 4.5-6.3, and I wouldn’t have to carry my Voigtlander 15mm. For landscape/travel/wildlife, I rarely use 35-65mm focal range (maybe 10-20% of time, and I feel like I could make those pics work if I didn’t have that focal range). However, being able to go from wide to short telephoto without changing lenses is valuable.Replacing with Tamron 28-200 2.8-5.6, and I could leave my Tamron 70-300 4.5-6.3 home. Lose some speed and quality for convenience. Seems liberating. But in practice will cause difficulty in the longer end capturing dawn/dusk (low light), getting sharp photos without tripod, birds/wildlife frozen in action (high shutter that low aperture enables), etc.Tamron 35-150 2-2.8 very interesting, but too heavy (~67% heavier).Tamron 28-75 2.8 I hear is comparable. Lighter and much cheaper. I would need to test. I might miss the 24mm and possibly snappy autofocus Sony-Sony has.Sigma 24-70 2.8. Heavier, albeit cheaper. Too heavy for me.Good luck!

If you could only have 1 lens…
No doubt that this is a financial commitment… however, if you could only have 1 lens, well… this may very well be it. I guess this would not suit a sports or nature photographer… but for nearly every other use case, this lens is just about perfect. The AF is so fast it is almost hard to believe. The focus breathing is virtually zero and newer cameras actually compensate for this in body. This lens is light enough that I can use this with an A7Cii on a DJI gimbal!!! Naturally, this lens is sealed very well and I think you be very VERY happy with this lens.
