I am looking to see whether the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is up to the job for landscape. This is the first of various evaluations.
This comparison from f/2.8 - f/11 on a deep 3D scene pits a good sample of the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II against the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM, the finest ultra wide angle zoom on the market.
Distortion, sharpness, color correction are evaluated, as well as the distinctly different field curvature behaviors, the understanding of which is essential for optimal total sharpness near-to-far and across the frame—at least for photographers looking for the best possible results.
