Review: A zoom lens that performs better than some primes - While the size and cost of this lens can't be ignored, the quality and versatility also stand out. I normally post pictures, but there are already tons of sample pictures out there. Pros - The image quality is excellent and paired with the A7RIII, I was able to get some really great shots - The build quality seems very sturdy, and my copy of the lens seems to be very good (which may speak to quality control by Sony) - The zoom ring is quite firm, which keeps the lens from creeping. - Nice to have the zoom lock feature when you need it - Nice and sharp wide open, and throughout the zoom range (You can see a difference wide open at the end of the zoom range, but the photos are still very good) - After shooting a little with this lens, and taking about 100 pictures, very few of them had any chromatic aberration. In post, I only needed to correct for this in a few photos. Cons - The size and weight are quite significant, and pretty much take away any size advantage that the mirror-less A7RIII might have had over another DSLR - The focus is by wire, so you don't get the same smooth focus-ring feel. - While the A7RIII has IBIS, I would really like to see image stabilization here for the cost and size - Speaking of price... $$$ Conclusion If you are looking for a pro lens, and don't mind carrying it around, then this lens is great. Extremely sharp for a zoom and correcting any chromatic aberration, or lens distortion was easily handled in Lightroom. If you are looking to get a standard zoom for your Sony mirror-less, this is a great option.
Review: Great lens - This lens has made me a lot of money, highly recommend. But baby it. Very expensive to repair due to the uniqueness.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this lens work well for portraits? or is this more inclined for landscape? I am debating between this lens or the new 24-105mm G.**
A: This f2.8 is excellent for real estate, gimbal and group horizon shots. This is a great choice as a second lens to carry. However start with a lens like the 24-105 for portrait and subjects you need to reach from 15 yards.

**Q: As a landscape photographer who usually shoots in f/11-f/22, is this sony 24-70 f2.8 lens really much better than the zeiss 24-70 f4 ?**
A: no. at those apertures the difference will be minimal. if you pixel peep you may notice better detail and less distortion in the corners, but that's about it, but not enough to make or break the photo. or justify the price. the G master is also MASSIVE. mounting it on an A7R II will make your set up just as big and heavy as a Canon 5DM4 + 24-70 f/2.8 IIthe only reason i would carry a G Master is if would shoot at 2.8

**Q: Will it work with A6000?**
A: While it is true this is a full frame lens that in no way means it would not be a great lens on the a6000. The most important feature of this lens is the 2.8 aperture and that does not change on a crop sensor camera like yours! The larger aperture will still would allow it to focus faster and perform better in low light situations as well as allow for better bokah. Glass is more important than the body. The a6000 has a great sensor and image quality to start with and the lens would be awesome on it. The only "issue" is its not as wide as it would be on an A7 so think of its field of view as being a 36-105 instead of a 24-70. Not quite as good for landscape. Good glass will stay with your as you upgrade your bodies so the investment is totally worth it as long as you stay within the E-Mount system

**Q: Is there a fish eye effect around the edges at 16mm?  I am also looking at Zeiss Batis 18mm which is wide and has little fish eye effect.**
A: At 16mm there is no fisheye, I sometimes shoot group photos at 16mm. But at 35mm it’s a wide angle shot which has the fish eye look. This lens is an amazing lens with lots of versatility.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're an Event Photographer this lens is a must
*by D***E on January 7, 2020*

I'm a Sony shooter and I love their products. The first few years I shot with only APS-C (Crop frame cameras). This year I graduated to the Full Frame A7R3 and I haven't looked back. This is the second G-Master lens I purchased (I have the 70-200). I rented this lens last month for a party and I was blown away. Previously I was only using my Sigma 35mm 1.4 as a general all around purpose lens. I cannot lie - Sigma has stepped their game up with their Sony lenses. As I'm typing this the Sigma 24-70 is in the process of being released and is on back order with many Camera shops. I was on the fence but then I realized that Sigma often have great images, their Auto Focus is not as reliable or quick as the Sony's. So that played a huge factor as I mostly will use this lens for events or general purpose photography. The quality of G-Master lenses are second to none with Sony cameras. Although this lens was CRAZY EXPENSIVE it is truly a beast and as of the moment it is totally worth it. I hate that I missed the Amazon deal of paying for this over 5 monthly payments. Pros Excellent build quality Great images Additional buttons Fast glass Cons Super expensive Heavy But if you want the best, I feel comfortable paying for it (at least for what I can afford). I love this lens and you will too. I'm anxious to use it on my next gig this weekend.
