The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM is Sony's professional standard zoom for full-frame E-mount cameras, covering wide-angle to short telephoto at a constant f/2.8. It uses an XA element, aspherical elements and ED glass for high resolution, with Nano AR coating to cut flare and a Direct Drive SSM for fast, quiet autofocus. It is a large, heavy lens built for working photographers and hybrid shooters who want one fast zoom for events, portraits and video. Its main rival is the lighter, smaller Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art, which costs far less but gives up some edge sharpness and weather sealing; the second-generation Sony GM II is notably smaller and lighter than this original version.

Owners and reviewers rate the lens highly for sharpness, color and autofocus, and many call it a workhorse for events and portraits. The common complaints are its size and weight and softer corners at f/2.8, and some note the newer GM II is the better buy for travel.
The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM (SEL2470GM) is a standard zoom lens in Sony's G Master line. It is made for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras and covers wide-angle to short telephoto focal lengths. The constant f/2.8 aperture keeps exposure and depth-of-field control consistent across the zoom range.
The optical design uses an XA (extreme aspherical) element, additional aspherical elements and ED glass to reduce aberrations. A Nano AR coating reduces flare and ghosting. A Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor drives the autofocus for stills and video.
The lens has dust- and moisture-resistant construction. Physical controls include a focus hold button, an AF/MF switch and a zoom lock switch.
