Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Rokinon 24‑70mm f/2.8 for its bright constant aperture, sophisticated 17‑element optical design and fast Linear STM/LSM autofocus, while also appreciating its weather‑sealed, solid build that “punches far above its weight.” However, they point out the lack of in‑lens stabilization and the lens’s relatively high weight compared with native Sony alternatives.
What Users Say
Everyday users have not left extensive public feedback, but the limited retailer Q&A suggests appreciation for the lens’s value‑driven performance and versatile focal range, alongside recurring concerns about its heft and the missing image‑stabilization feature for handheld shooting.
Common Complaints
The lens’s relatively high weight (over 1 kg) and the absence of optical image stabilization are the most frequently mentioned drawbacks.
How It Compares
vs. Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the Rokinon if budget and weather sealing are priorities; choose the Sony GM for lighter weight and potentially smoother native autofocus.
