Our take on the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens - SEL2470GM + 27-Month Axiom Care

The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM is Sony's first-generation G Master standard zoom for full-frame E-mount cameras. It covers the workhorse 24-70mm range at a constant f/2.8, with an XA element, ED and Super ED glass, Nano AR coating and a direct-drive SSM motor for quiet stills and video autofocus. It suits event, portrait and travel shooters who want one fast zoom, though it is large and heavy, and the second-generation GM II is smaller, lighter and sharper.

About the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens - SEL2470GM + 27-Month Axiom Care

The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM is a standard zoom lens for portrait, travel, event and everyday photography. It is also suited to both still images and movies.

The optical design includes three aspherical elements, one of which is a newly developed XA (extreme aspherical) element. It reduces aberration and delivers high resolution across the whole zoom and aperture range. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and Super ED glass elements keep chromatic aberration to a minimum, which maximizes resolution and bokeh without unnatural coloration. A Nano AR coating and a circular aperture are also included.

A direct drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) focusing system moves focus smoothly and quietly. The lens has an AF/MF switch and a dust and moisture resistant design.

Questions and answers

Is this lens good for portraits?
Yes. The constant f/2.8 aperture and 70mm end give shallow depth of field and smooth background blur, and the 24-70mm range covers full- and half-body framing.
Does it work on APS-C E-mount bodies?
Yes, but it becomes a roughly 36-105mm equivalent, and its size and weight are heavy on compact bodies.
Does it have image stabilization?
No. It relies on the camera's in-body stabilization, so pair it with a stabilized body for handheld low-light work.
How does it compare with the GM II?
The GM II is smaller, lighter and sharper, while this first-generation lens is still a solid performer and often the more affordable way into a Sony f/2.8 standard zoom.
Is it weather sealed?
It has a dust- and moisture-resistant design, but Sony does not rate it as waterproof, so use care in heavy rain.
What is in the box?
The lens comes with front and rear caps, a lens hood and a soft case; the listing bundles a 27-month Axiom Care plan.
