Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM

Just arrived late in the day, I shot the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM in the waning light.

The goal here was to assess contrast control under strong backlighting, bokeh and control of color aberrations, and overall sharpness and visual impact.

Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Aperture Series @52mm: Strongly Backlit MTB

Includes images up to 24 megapixels from f/2.8 through f/9.

The results are unusually interesting; the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM seems to offer a blend of imaging characteristics that “draw” quite differently from what I am used to seeing with Nikon and Canon designs.

Bokeh fans take note.
