Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 G Master Full-Frame Constant-Aperture Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens (SEL1224GM), Black

A gorgeous lens. Very lightweight (for what it does - this is a professional bright aperture zoom). Autofocus is very fast and precise with my Sony a1. Image quality is wonderful. The inner-zoom design is a game-changer - one to go to inner-zoom you never want to go back.

High end Sony camera lens, I have used it multiple occasions, for landscape and portraits. Both work great. Only drawback is a bit heavy, but that’s what high end lens are.

I mean, WOW. I am seriously in love with this lens. I’ve used many lens brands in the past, which include the stock Sony lens which came with the camera I purchased and a Sigma lens. NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS ONE!The Sony G Master series is by far out of this world. The crisp photos are perfection. I’m in complete awe. As a photographer and business owner, it is so important to have the right products. This camera has blown my work out of the park and makes me stand out as a sole photographer.I’ve attached some photos for reference!

This lens is so good, my wife even enjoyed using it and she gets disappointed almost every night ,so it takes a lot, in my opinion, to impress her. It is worth the weight to use it, its now my main lens its so fun to use. A good way to think of it is, not every shot is a keeper, but every shot is clear!

ITs a work of art, this has come closest to the prime lens clarity benchmark. I think in my kit, currently this is only second to 85mm Prime

Love the versatility of 70-200 for everyday shoot or a professional setting. for the lens functions the focus ring is at the very end of the lens which is great I love the fact the zoom ring is closer to the body for comfort and stability when you are shooting. the aperture ring is small enough for rotation with click and no lock function for quite aperture adjustment while shooting video. AF switch DMF and Focus Range are in a great stop if you are shooting portrait or landscape also included OSS mode and mode are great I usually use 1 but for video i would use 3 i would play around it all is a personal preference. The weight is up there it's lighter then the MRKI for sure but it will get heavy with long trip if you are nature photographer but don't get me wrong it's worth the haul. Auto focus speed is absolutely stunning for fast transitions. Also, the internal zoom is great for video when you use a gamble is fantastic there still is going to be weight shift but obviously not even close ot the telescopic external zoom. over all if money if not a problem 100% buy it but if you are looking at the G or the M+GM MRKI save the money if you can and get the MKR II.
