Despite being heavy, the Tamron 35-150mm F2.0-2.8 has become the king of my equipment. It just does almost all scenarios that don't require extreme wide angle or extreme length. It costs less than this lens, is a bit smaller; you lose OSS and a bit of range but gain so much more flexibility.
obligatory remark about how its a dust magnet. its iq is very good, it just sucks up more dust than my double telescoping 28 200.
I don’t really find the 24-70 GM II that cumbersome, even on my A7CII
I've got the 20-70 F4 G and use that for my travels. It is a little big but don't find it too bad weight-wise. I am thinking of getting smaller prime lens to compliment it though.
How much would ya pay for 24-70 GMII ?
just sold one for 2k the other day. if you are looking to buy then ryda ebay is the cheapest place whenever its in stock, it goes for 2k2ish
may I ask the reason for selling it? and do you recommend it?
only because I got a new 28 70 f2 for a pretty good deal (not as good as the price error the other day though :( ). the gm ii is really good, absolutely no complaints. the size and look just fits perfectly with alpha (non-C) bodies, very sexy. the 28 70 is a bit too big and disproportionate. the price we pay for a slightly brighter dog picture
~$2k on the second hand market is pretty good for what I think is the best 24-70 2.8 of any mount.
I'm bit confused on 24-70GM ii VS Sigma II
The GM II is slightly better but quite a bit more expensive so depends how deep your pockets are!
I'm more lean towards Sigma, thanks for your input here
I don't think you'll regret it! The Sigma looks to be a great lens too!
I own the GM II only because I got it for a good price.
Otherwise I’d recommend saving the money and getting the Sigma. Main difference would just be the lightness of the GM II and the tight-smooth toggle.
Assuming slightly better optically but not for 50% more.
@southaussiewithcosi how much did you pay for your GM II?
Deal stacked quite a bit. Think it worked out to be around $2k for brand new from Sony.
@southaussiewithcosi: nice, i manged to get mine for 1.7k from jbhifi. didnt need it but couldnt say no for 1.7
Sony has better and more accurate AF and can shoot above 15FPS if you ever use it on a pro body
Beast of a lens.. Not for me at the moment, I’m after a fast-ish compact zoom lens to replace my FE 50 1.8 and 28-60 kit lens. Was thinking 20-70 F4 G or the 24-70/28-75 2.8 (Sigma/Tamron) but those are pretty large and heavy.
