Would this lens work well for portraits? or is this more inclined for landscape? I am debating between this lens or the new 24-105mm G.

This f2.8 is excellent for real estate, gimbal and group horizon shots. This is a great choice as a second lens to carry. However start with a lens like the 24-105 for portrait and subjects you need to reach from 15 yards.

As a landscape photographer who usually shoots in f/11-f/22, is this sony 24-70 f2.8 lens really much better than the zeiss 24-70 f4 ?

no. at those apertures the difference will be minimal. if you pixel peep you may notice better detail and less distortion in the corners, but that's about it, but not enough to make or break the photo. or justify the price. the G master is also MASSIVE. mounting it on an A7R II will make your set up just as big and heavy as a Canon 5DM4 + 24-70 f/2.8 IIthe only reason i would carry a G Master is if would shoot at 2.8

Will it work with A6000?

While it is true this is a full frame lens that in no way means it would not be a great lens on the a6000. The most important feature of this lens is the 2.8 aperture and that does not change on a crop sensor camera like yours! The larger aperture will still would allow it to focus faster and perform better in low light situations as well as allow for better bokah. Glass is more important than the body. The a6000 has a great sensor and image quality to start with and the lens would be awesome on it. The only "issue" is its not as wide as it would be on an A7 so think of its field of view as being a 36-105 instead of a 24-70. Not quite as good for landscape. Good glass will stay with your as you upgrade your bodies so the investment is totally worth it as long as you stay within the E-Mount system

Is there a fish eye effect around the edges at 16mm? I am also looking at Zeiss Batis 18mm which is wide and has little fish eye effect.

At 16mm there is no fisheye, I sometimes shoot group photos at 16mm. But at 35mm it’s a wide angle shot which has the fish eye look. This lens is an amazing lens with lots of versatility.

The best Zoom lens for Sony

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II is the best zoom lens so far for Sony full frame cameras. The build quality is outstanding. The bokeh this lens produces, especially when you zoom in, produces very nice bokeh thanks to the compression. What made me choose this lens over 3rd party lenses although it is significantly more expensive, is the autofocus speed and accuracy, and the Optical Steady Shot (Optical Stabilization). The lens was brand new in a sealed box with the Jumbo warranty sticker.

Best lens by Sony

This is my “go to lens” as a professional photographer. The light weight of the 70-200mm is remarkable.

Lo compre de Amazon Warehouse (ponía que tenia marcas e imperfecciones) pero esta impoluto, y me he ahorrado casi 700€. Calidad de imagen superior, tenia el hermano menor el 70-200F4 y la calidad de imagen de este es una gozada, incluso a máxima apertura. El enfoque es super rápido y preciso, un poco de ruido (pero muy poco) La construcción es una pasada, y denota calidad por todas partes, como es de esperar en un GM. Muy contento con la compra.

Toller Telezoom! Messerscharf in der Mitte, cremiges Bokeh und zuverlässiger Autofokus mit OSS-Stabilisierung. Super verarbeitet, wetterfest und ideal für Portraits, Events oder Sport. Ja, es ist etwas schwerer, aber die Bildqualität ist top – absolute Empfehlung für den Preis!

Beh nulla da dire, preso usato qui su amazon come 'usato come nuovo' e sono innamorato! Il prodotto è uguale alla descrizione e viene fornito con una pratica custodia per il trasporto. L'obiettivo è pesante, ma non c'è da stupirsi! Paraluce bello grande, tasti che aiutano a velocizzare le operazioni di scatto. Focus manuale o automatico, distanza di messa a fuoco, stabilizzazione ON-OFF, veramente comodi! La base ha la maniglia completamente customizzabile come vogliamo, sia in direzione che rotazione, veramente comoda se montiamo la camera su un cavalletto. Autofocus assolutamente velocissimo e integrato perfettamente con l'ecosistema SONY.
