Sony FE 24-70mm f2.8 GM review
  • Written by

Samples

The following images were taken with the Sony FE 24-70mm f2.8 GM lens mounted on a 42MP Sony A7R II camera.

The first set of the images below are JPEGs out-of-camera. The A7R II was set to its best quality Large Fine mode, capturing 42 Megapixel images with Fine compression; in most of the portrait shots I was using AFC with Eye Detection. In each case I used Auto White Balance and the standard Photo style. Body-based stabilisation was enabled for handheld shots and disabled for tripod-based shots.

The second set of images are RAW files developed in Lightroom 9.2/CRAW 12.2 to Adobe Color profile, built-in lens profile, Noise Reduction=OFF, sharpening=50/0.5/36/10. I only did the occasional exposure compensation in post-processing.

The individual exposure details are available for each image. All of the images are available to download in their original formats for analysis at Flickr. These files are for personal evaluation only and cannot be used in another publication or website without permission. Check out my high resolution Sony FE 24-70mm f2.8 GM sample images.
