Our take on the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II

The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is Sony's second-generation G Master standard zoom for full-frame E-mount cameras. It is notably small and light for an f/2.8 zoom at 695 g and 119.9 mm long, with 20 elements in 15 groups, 11 aperture blades, a floating focus mechanism and a 0.21 m minimum focus distance for 0.32x magnification. It is dust and moisture resistant and has no optical stabilization, relying on the camera body. The best new price is $1,810 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, with 8 stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is it worth it over the first 24-70mm GM?
Yes for most buyers. The Mark II is much lighter, focuses faster and is sharper wide open, which matters for events and video. The original is cheaper used if weight and focus speed do not matter to you.
Does it work on APS-C Sony bodies?
Yes, it mounts on E-mount APS-C cameras, where it behaves like a 36-105mm equivalent. It is large and heavy for those bodies, so most APS-C owners pick a smaller lens.
Does it have image stabilization?
No. It relies on the camera body's in-body stabilization. On a body without IBIS, expect to need faster shutter speeds or support in low light.
What is in the box?
The lens and a petal lens hood. Front and rear caps normally come with it, but check the listing, since some sellers ship body-only or white-box items.
When is it cheapest?
The lowest new price seen is $1,810 at eBay as of November 4, 2026. Prices on this lens tend to dip during major sales events and when a successor is rumored.
Can I use a teleconverter with it?
Sony's teleconverters are not supported on this lens. Use it at 70mm and crop, or switch to a telephoto zoom for more reach.
Where is the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II cheapest?
At eBay, for $1,829.99, 25% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
