The only downside is, that the cumulated weight of these three lenses is pulling on the neck all the time. The weight of this lens relativises when you keep in mind that usually replaces three primes in your bag. You should also keep in mind that you catch as much attention as the average DSLR shooter with the Sony FE 2.8/24-70 GM. What bothers me more is that the camera with the lens attached doesn’t fit into every of my bags anymore. In practical use, these doubts didn’t come true in most of the situations because I always have a hand on the lens and use a L-bracket most of the time. One thing that I was asking myself before buying this lens is if this lens makes any sense in terms of balancing on the A7 bodies. It can be configurated individually in the main menu of the camera.

The lens itself is built to highest professional standards and I personally prefer this construction over a full metal lens. I put the big Sony 2.8/24-70 GM or its equally large brother, the Sony 1.4/85 GM into that lens pouch to save some space for my other equipment in the belt bag. The latter is a very handy feature in combination with my Mindshift Gear Rotation belt bag. It has a practical two-zipper mechanism and a belt loop. The first opening of the box put a smile on my face, because Sony puts a nice and practical lens pouch into it. You can get one for $2.198 at (affiliate link) You may also have a look at Sony’s official page. The Sony FE 2.8/24-70 GM has the following specifications: We’ve seen that also in the Fuji XF 2.8/16-50mm lens in the past.
I think that’s a tribute to the ultimate image quality approach because the lens can be manufactured with tighter tolerances. In contrast to the other two FE standard zoom lenses, the Sony FE 2.8/24-70 GM doesn’t feature OSS so you are limited to you camera’s stabilizer. This is almost twice the price of the FE 4/24-70 ZA OSS and almost five times the price of the FE 3.5-5,6/28-70 OSS. The Sony FE 2.8/24-70 GM is the latest addition to Sony’s standard lens lineup and costs $2199 MSRP. The performance of the Sony/Zeiss FE 4/24-70 is a mixed bag, especially at the ends of the zoom range and doesn’t justify the price tag in our opinion. It is okay as a kit lens and also usable for the documentation of the daily life, but I wouldn’t recommend it for serious photography. The Sony FE 3.5-5.6/28-70 is a kit lens and performs decent in the center but the corners are much softer wide open and not better stopped down.

The Sony FE 2.8/24-70 GM is the first lens of this new series in our hands. Although it negates the approach of the small bodies, Sony listened to their customers and developed the no-compromise GM(aster) lens lineup. Since the introduction of the Sony A7-series cameras, many people asked for well performing f/2.8 zooms.
