What is the sony fe 24 70mm f 2 8 gm ii good for?

The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is a standard zoom for full frame Sony E cameras. It's the everyday lens I'd reach for first. The f/2.8 aperture stays the same across the whole zoom, so exposure doesn't shift as you zoom, and it gives you low-light room for people, food and general shooting. My lenses guide lists a 24-70mm as the sensible first standard zoom, and the aperture notes explain why that constant f/2.8 matters.

It also covers most landscape scenes, as the landscape page suggests. Bear in mind it isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up when shooting handheld in dim light. On an APS-C Sony E body it behaves like a roughly 36-105mm lens, which is still very usable.
