For $3,000, you should expect perfection, and indeed, that's pretty much what you get with the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM. If you absolutely need 12mm, as opposed to 14mm or 17mm, then you won't be disappointed.
Pros:
  • Near-perfect image quality, Unprecedented zoom range (for an f/2.8 zoom), Excellent build quality & weather sealing, Fast, reliable autofocus performance, One-of-a-kind value

Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM Lens - Brand New review

When we first heard news of the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM, we knew it was a lens that had great promise.

Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM Review

Sony's FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM lens capture wide views with stunning detail, even on high-resolution cameras. It's a rewarding tool for photographers that can afford its high price. It's only a little hyperbolic to say that the Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM ($2,999.99) is a special lens, one that's simply unavailable for other camera systems. There are other full-frame zooms that cover as broad an angle, but none gather as much light as this F2.8 zoom. It's not just about the f-stop—the lens is good enough to use with the highest-resolution cameras, focuses quickly, and is made for all-weather shooting. It's a tool for the most demanding photographers, and worth every penny of its asking price, earning our Editors' Choice award. If you can't spend this much, think about the $1,699.99 Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G or the $1,199 Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art, both excellent optics in their own right.Extremely Aspheric Despite its ambitious design specifications, the FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM isn't at all unwieldy. It's a little big for a zoom at 5.4 by 3.8 inches (HW), and at 1.9 pounds a little heavier than most cameras with which you'll use it. It's only a little larger than the Si...
Pros:
  • Ultra-wide angle of view
  • F2.8 aperture
  • Dust, splash, and fluorine protection
  • Reasonably sized
  • Fast, accurate autofocus
  • Rear filter support
Cons:
  • No aperture ring
  • Shows some focus breathing
  • Doesn't support front filters
  • Expensive
