Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Review

In its infancy, the Sony Alpha 7 series fell short of offering its users a wide range of lenses. As is often the case with any new camera system, it took time for the full-frame FE mount to establish itself, but now, a couple of years down the line from the launch of the original A7 and A7R, Sony...

Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Review

Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM

The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM is the new benchmark standard zoom for Sony's full-frame camera range, but it's also an incredibly expensive lens too, almost rivalling the equivalent Canon and Nikon optics in terms of price.

I have heard that there is a lot of sample variation in this lens but my copy was perfect. Very sharp in the center even wide open. A little softer in the corners but never unusable. OSS works great. Terrific colors and Micro Contrast.

Outstanding

Being in transition from Nikon to Sony; I was hoping to use the Commlite adaptor on my 24-70E f2.8 VR as it is an amazing lens. However, the adaptor proved next to useless, particularly as the recent upgrade excluded E lines!! So my 24-70 was sold as soon as I could obtain the GM.
