My motivation for considering the 24-70mm is for pairing it with the A7CR for a lightweight travel kit.
When reading another thread comparing these two lenses, some thought that they needed the f/2.8. I believe that in a minority of images, many of us need f/2.8, but why? For me it comes down to bokeh and ISO. My argument here assumes that relatively few images actually require f/2.8. What I’m proposing is that where you might need the GM II, you supplement your 20-70mm G with “AI”. My comments here are with regards to Lightroom and Photoshop. The judicious and subtle addition of AI blur and ISO/Noise Enhanced images would allow for the lighter/smaller/better macro f/4.0 lens to part time substitute for the big brother GM lens. What do you think?
