Weddings, events, news, travel. It&rsquo;s the one you&rsquo;d keep if you could only keep one. Sony&rsquo;s first G Master version, from 2016, was good and very heavy. The Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II, released in 2022, is the redesign, and for a while it set the standard for what this kind of lens could be.</p> <p>The headline is weight. The GM II weighs about 695 grams, down from roughly 886 grams for the original. That&rsquo;s around 20 percent lighter, and on a long wedding day it&rsquo;s the difference between a sore wrist and not thinking about the camera at all.</p>
