Rated 5 out of 5 byGreg20 from Excellent must-have lens with Sony a7 and a9I recently bought a Sony a7R II and this lens for stills. I made the right choice. Both the sharpness and resolution is excellent. I just hope that Sony will make a real video camera compatible with these lenses like Canon does with the C300 or C500. That would make these lenses even more valuable.

Rated 5 out of 5 byFuzzball from Awesomethis is my first lens for the a7rii. i don't have much experience with this level of equipment, so needless to say that i love it and think it's the best range for taking indoor photos where there's not a lot of room to back up away from your subjects.
Date published: 2017-11-22T00:00:00-05:00
Rated 5 out of 5 byLuisR from Great, but with room for improvementThe F/2.8 max aperture is great for low light photography without having to do long exposures, and the 24-70mm focal length range makes it quite versatile. It's my only lens and I haven't felt the absolute need to get a lens with more zoom yet.It's a bit soft on the edges of the photo and has a lot of purple fringing, at least at wider apertures. The lens is larger and heavier than your average lens under 70mm which makes it impractical for traveling or street photography.

Rated 5 out of 5 byPhilInTN from Excellent OpticsPurchased to use on the new Sony a7iii. The optics are great with smooth and fast focusing. I am used to the a77m2 with large lenses so the weight is not an issue. Build quality seems to be top notch.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNigel01606 from Stunning LensBeautifully sharp images, edge-to-edge, even wide open at 2.8. Beautiful bokeh. Good resistance to lens flare. All-in-all, a fantastic lens if you’re a serious amateur who cares about their gear and wants the best image quality you can get in an all-in-one zoom lens, especially coupled with full-frame A7 series.The only down-side to the lens is it's big and heavy, so not the most ideal walk-about lens.

This is an expensive lens but you get real quality for your money.
