Sony's original G Master standard zoom — constant f/2.8 from 24-70mm with outstanding optics for Sony FE.
The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM launched in 2016 as the first G Master lens, establishing the GM series as Sony's top-tier optical line for full-frame E-mount. It set a high standard for the 24-70mm f/2.8 category with excellent sharpness and bokeh rendering.
Optically excellent — sharp across the frame at all focal lengths with well-controlled distortion. The G Master designation ensures premium optical quality with 11 rounded aperture blades for smooth bokeh. Direct Drive SSM autofocus is fast and accurate. Good close focus at 38cm.
Sony FE mount with 82mm filter thread. Weighs 886g. Weather-sealed dust and moisture resistant construction. Focus hold button and AF/MF switch. Aperture ring. Minimum focus distance 38cm. Fluorine coating on front element.
Common used and good value since the GM II replaced it. The GM II is 200g lighter with faster AF, but the original GM still delivers excellent results. Check for dust behind front element — common but cosmetic. An outstanding professional standard zoom at reduced used prices.
