Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens Review
Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Verdict
Zoom lenses do have strengths and weaknesses in their performance, but there is little to complain about with this Sony G Master. Any sacrifice in the bald figures is more than made up for with the convenience and versatility a zoom lens represents, and there are precious few sacrifices.
Sharpness at its best is excellent to outstanding, CA and distortion can be addressed in software, although centrally CA is very well controlled anyway. Flare is non-existent. And the bokeh is indeed beautiful, quite sublime. So visually the overall “look” of the images from this lens is highly impressive.
