In my opinion, the 24-70 2.8 zoom is the first high quality zoom that anyone should get for the camera.
I moved from a Canon dslr to Sony mirrorless 9 years ago. I still kept my superb Canon EF 24-70 2.8 II lens and adapted to Sony A7R series, without any major issues on autofocus ability.
Recently I have been shooting video along with my photography and realized that an adapted lens doesn’t do as well autofocusing in video.
The Sigma seemed to be the first choice with price to performance being very good.
I was really surprised at how good this lens was for both photography as well as video.
The focusing was excellent on both video as well as still photography.
This lens is actually made in Japan, which is a rarity nowadays.
The colors are beautiful and the sharpness is excellent. It is also priced reasonably.
I wish the rebate was in effect when I purchased it, but am happy for everyone that purchases it now with the $100 off.
Highly recommended.

A wonderful everyday lens and pro level performance
I own the Sony a7R III with the standard 28-70 zoom lens. Once I put this on my camera, I practiced a few macro, night shots, and some day as well. It was exemplary on all fronts and the professional quality far exceeded the kit lens. It has a quick autofocus, a clarity, color and contrast that most consumers and pros would find it their go-to lens. The bokeh is creamy and pleasing. I am not a pro any by any means, but my images are starting look that way. It is a perfect companion to the a7RIII and the a7III and the a7II.This is not for portability as the lens weighs 1.8 lbs. I can fit the camera and lens in my backpack with no sweat. I'm sure there are pros out there with bodies and glass that offer capabilities that trounce my gear.. It's not optically perfect and distorts at 24 mm. The corners are soft, and the reverse direction zoom ring took a bit of getting used to. Yet, most things are fixable in post and with 42 megapixels, I have plenty of pixels to frame the shot it slightly outside the composition and crop off the edges.If you want to take your photography to the next level, this is the lens. The Sony G equivalent is twice the price and better in many respects. The question is, is the additional $1200 premium price worth it? I don't and I am simply ecstatic over this slightly imperfect yet stunning lens.The images are macros I took the night I got it and couldn't sleep! The other is my living room.

La calidad del lente es excelente, tiene muy buena nitidez, el desenfoque que realiza se mira excelente, yo lo uso en mi sony alpha 6000. Solo lo he usado para fotografía, para video solo unas pequeñas pruebas y se mira muy bien tambien
El único inconveniente es que si es muy pesado, es cuestión de acostumbrarse, si el peso no es un problema para lo que ofrece, es un excelente lente
La aberración cromática si está presente pero no es nada exagerado, sólo en apertura amplias y aun así no son problema
