Sony SEL2470GM E-Mount Camera Lens: FE 24-70 mm F2.8 G Master Full Frame Standard Zoom Lens

strong hands & arms will help you!

Make sure you read everything before you buy. This is the first generation of this lens, and it’s way too heavy for a gimbal. I found this out after purchasing, and the buyer wants to charge a 20% restocking fee because I opened the box. Not worth it, but I’m keeping because 20% of $1700 is crazy.

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.
