Worth every penny! WOW! That’s what I think every time I use this lens. Since I’m a hobbyist and not a professional photographer I struggled with purchasing such an expensive lens. However, after shooting my first few pictures with this lens on my camera (Sony A7RIII) I am very happy with my purchase, no buyers remorse for me. The photos with this lens come out sharp and crisp. I have Lightroom as my editing software, but the photos I’m sharing are untouched and straight from the camera. Rather than go on and on about how good this lens is I have shared a few photos for you to make your own conclusion.

Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 G Master (5 stars) Can’t ask for better lens!! I did a focus test using these lenses:
Zeiss Batis 25mm F2
Zeiss Loxia 35mm F2
Leica Elmar-R 35-70mm F4
Sony G Master 24-700mm F2.8
Set the F stop all lenses at F8 at 300/sec ISO 200 using a Sony A7II. Lighting was exact for all shots. Distance was the same for each shot either shot at 24mm or 35mm
I focus used the Zeiss Test Chart for Cinematography Lenses to focus.
The Sony had as good as any of the primes and just beat out the Leica, which up until this new purchase, was my sharpest lens. As far as vignetting, there was none at the edges that can be seen. I am very happy with the lens, so much so I sold my Zeiss 25mm and in the process of offering up for sale my beloved Leica.
Cheers!

Awesome lens for an awesome camera system I already own the 24-70 f/4 Zeiss lens from Sony so this was an upgrade. Both lenses are sharp but the 2.8 is so much more than that – far more detailed, much better micro-contrast, faster focusing and nicer bokeh.
To be fair the f/2.8 is heavier so you lose some of the weight advantage for which mirrorless cameras are famous; however the step up in quality – particularly when coupled with an A7RII – is well worth the weight gain.
This lens, and its 70-200 counterpart, really put Sony out in front of C and N when it comes to mainstay glass. Combined with all the benefits of the mirrorless system and you are on to a winner.

fast focus sharp images but heavy I went from 5DIII with 24-105LII to mirror less to gain weight loss, but noticed that there is not much difference between the A7rII with FE 24-70 F2.8 G series . however I love everything about this combination so impressed, I. just ordered
the FE70200 G lens

Great Lens ! This lens is perfect for shooting on the go, where shots cannot be planned and posed. It allows flexibility and does not compromise sharpness. This is more expensive than the sigma 24-70 for Sony and having used both, I prefer the Sony for autofocus speed with eye AF.
