Pros: Sharpness, almost no flare, lightning-fast AF, aperture ring, blurry at 2.8

Cons: Lens hood a bit cumbersome to assemble, it costs a lot

Opinion: Premise: Landscape photos. I took this zoom because before I only used a 14-24 2.8, a 70-200 f4 and a fixed 40mm, so it was an intermediate zoom to be used as an all-rounder, since in certain adventures it became necessary to have only one lens with me. Then I also wanted to take it to have a GM and make the most of the car which is an a7rIV, or at least I thought that way it would make the most of it. For now, I have to say that I'm satisfied (and fortunately, given the cost!). I've used it on some adventures in the mountains, in the snow, at sunset, and during the day! The sharpness is really at high levels, at the edges it doesn't seem to change too much the performance in the maximum and minimum zoom values, which is important as I often use it at 24, and very often at 70, using a little less the intermediate steps. The build quality is great, although being less heavy than the sigma 14-24 I have, it almost feels more plasticky! Surely it's just a feeling given by the weight. In any case, 200 grams less is an advantage in the mountains! Actually, the general impression is this: A PERFECT optics, which consequently, in order to be such, renounces some characteristics that for example are typical of Sigmas to obtain a personality. However, this is not a defect, it is a measuring instrument more than a musical instrument, it captures the light with fidelity and precision, without enriching and coloring, what it does it does perfectly, in the maximum possible yield :)

Pros: Everything absolutely everything!!

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: It came to me yesterday to replace the sigma 24-70 art, a whole other story. Perfect lens throughout, like my A7IV goes very well!! Fully satisfied. Distortion almost absent not to mention sharpness, something truly incredible!! I highly recommend it, it costs a bang, but the money is worth them all. A gift from my wife that I will never stop thanking!!!

Pros: Overall sharpness, build quality, physical functions, bokeh colors, excellent flare resistance

Cons: A bit of edges

Opinion: Perfect optics from all points of view, ideal for professional use with an absolutely scary auto focus.practically I did not find a defect if not the physiological drop at the most extreme edges. Not having it is a real right. Recommended for those looking for quality at all costs because like all GMs it is not given.

Pros: Sharpness, AF speed, few chromatic aberrations, flare resistance, weight

Cons: Vignetting over 50 mm up to 3.2

Opinion: For photographic use it is a zoom not optically "practically perfect" like the Canon RF 24-70 f2.8 however it is a very (but very) valid tool. On the road I appreciated first of all the low weight for the type of lens, during a reportage the versatility combined with the optical qualities. It does not have the stabilizer but the 695 grams declared (205 less than the RF) make it very manageable and easy to grip. And then sharpness, very fast AF coupled with the A7 IV, the few chromatic aberrations and the excellent flare resistance. Interesting option to rub more or less the zoom. On the other hand, the vignetting is quite evident from about 50 mm up to f3.2 (but it is a common feature to this type of zoom) as well as the distortion at the edges at 24mm (as above). In any case, it's a different lens than the GM I that disappointed me. Rating 9,8/10.

Pros: Excellent construction, weight, sharpness, and robustness

Cons: Price (?? perhaps)

Opinion: I confess right away that I come from the sigma 24-70 2.8 ART optics that at the beginning I had preferred for value for money to the GM first version. And the choice at the time turned out to be right. Today with the "GM II" everything has changed. Sony optics have taken a big step forward in many directions: weight, precision, sharpness, build quality. The "GM II" is not a simple update, but a new, beautiful and performing optics. You work very well without any hesitation. Great job done by Sony and extra-recommended optics. After all, such a lens cannot cost less than 2 thousand euros, it would be ridiculous. So the complaint about the price "there is", but still it is money well spent.
