great all around lens , also like the 1.8 Zeiss as wellThis lens is perfect for a time lapse and when you're looking for different shots the zoom function is perfect, this glass will produce Sharp focused images

I love this lens. It is very sharp. Every time I look at the pictures I say it was worth the money.

I bought this lens despite the reviews. All I can say is that on my A7R sharpness is good and provided you stay within 26-60mm I see very little difference between F4 and F8 in the corners. At the 2 extremes there is some blur in the corners so they are best avaided

Small; quite light; very well built and sharp

F4..

The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar T* FE 24-70mm f/4 OSS ZA didn't really convince us completely - not at this price point for sure. While it is a joy to use the lens thanks to its high quality finish and super smooth controls, the optical characteristics aren't quite as impressive.

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.

One area of the lens line-up that we've been patiently waiting for the manufacturer to address is the absence of zoom lenses capable of shooting faster than f/4, and up until recently, photographers wishing to couple faster zooms to an Alpha 7-series body have needed an adapter to use either Sony's...

Sony's new FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM (model SEL2470GM) lens is one of three G-Master lenses that were announced in February 2016 and are now becoming available in stores. A key feature of this lens is the constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range.
