The brand new Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G Lens is Sony's first ever full frame f/2.8 lens outside of the G Master lineup. It's compact size and optical performance make it an interesting consideration for travel, video, or everyday carry... but is it actually any good? I put it to the test against the Tamron 20-40, Tamron 17-50, and Sony 20-70 G to help you determine if it's right for you.
