What does the f/2 aperture give me over an f/2.8 zoom?

It lets in twice as much light at every focal length, so you can shoot in dimmer conditions or use faster shutter speeds. It also gives shallower depth of field for separating a subject from the background.

Will it fit my Sony camera?

It is a Sony E-mount lens for full-frame bodies. On APS-C E-mount cameras it mounts but gives a narrower field of view, roughly 42-105mm equivalent.

Is it good for portraits?

Yes. The 70mm end with an f/2 aperture gives flattering compression and strong background blur. The 28mm end covers group shots and environmental portraits.

Does it have image stabilization?

The lens itself does not. Stabilization comes from the camera body, so pair it with an IBIS-equipped Sony body for handheld low-light work.

How does it compare with a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom?

It is a stop faster but starts at 28mm instead of 24mm, so it gives up some wide-angle coverage. It is also larger and heavier than most f/2.8 standard zooms.

The lens ships with front and rear caps and a lens hood, as is standard for Sony G Master lenses. Check the listing for any extras.

Our take on the Sony FE 28-70mm f/2 GM Lens for Sony E-Mount

The Sony FE 28-70mm f/2 GM is a G Master standard zoom for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Its defining feature is a constant f/2 aperture across the whole zoom range, which is faster than the f/2.8 zooms most rivals offer and lets in twice the light at the long end. That makes it a strong one-lens choice for events, weddings and portraits where light is limited. The trade-off is size and weight: a bright constant-aperture zoom is a big, heavy lens, and it costs far more than a kit zoom or a slower standard zoom.
