The original FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM, which remains on sale for around $2,000, didn't earn our Editors' Choice award, but the new version clearly deserves that distinction. Size as a Feature If you're accustomed to the heft of the original FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM, the size of the new GM II is sure to impress. It's apparent just how much work Sony has done to make the lens easier to carry by looking at the two side by side. The GM II comes in at 4.7 by 3.5 inches (HD) and 1.5 pounds, noticeably ...

I have always loved the Sony 24-70 GM because of its versatility and image quality. It was always my go-to lens on elopements and adventures in the mountains but the portability needed an upgrade. The new version takes the quality of the old lens and somehow makes it better, lighter, and smaller.

This fast standard zoom for full-frame cameras is designed for photographers and filmmakers alike. It offers very high image quality with beautiful bokeh, along with four fast and reliably controlled XD Linear Motors for autofocus.
