The Sony 28–70mm f2 GM Lens | The Perfect Hybrid Lens?

This is my review of the Sony 28-70 f2 GM lens. This is a lens I've had now for a couple of months and I've been wanting to test it thoroughly before creating this video. So you can say it's been a couple months in the making! Took it on a recent trip to the Philippines and it was the only lens I used for the 10 days I was there. There's a lot to cover in this video and as a hybrid shooter, you'll get both perspectives on video and photography of this lenses including lots of examples and footage. This was one was a really fun one to make and I hope it's helpful, being such an example lens I wanted to cover as much as I could to help you make a better informative decision.
