Q: 1. Can Sony PXW-FS5 and FS7 camera command the autofocus on this lens?

A: Yes, the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens will autofocus on the Sony PXW-FS5 and FS7 cameras.

Q: 2. This lens shows .24x magnification in the specs compared to Canon's 24-70 f2.8L II that shows .21x magnification. Some of the customer images look macro. Does this lens outperform the Canon lens for extreme close ups? The minimum focus distance on both lenses is the same. How does this work?

A: I do not have a specific answer but I do use the GM 24-70 a lot for kind of macro shots and it works great if the subject is larger than say a postage stamp or thereabouts, especially when around 2 inch or more. I use the SONY 90 mm 1:1 macro lens for most of my macro shooting but the 24-70 is great for flowers, butterflies, etc.....

Q: 8. I use the a7s II for video. When using Sony's wired remote, will this lens be able to achieve smooth power-type zooms? Or is this only a feature of lenses such as Sony's E PZ? I'm looking for a zoom lens that will let me shoot 4K footage using a full frame sensor.

A: The Zoom function of this lense is manual not powered.

Q: 9. Is anyone using this lens on the FS5? If so, how's it working out for you? Regrets?

A: I have used this lens for extended video, but on an A7Rii, not an FS5. The FS5 is on my short list, though. The 24-70/2.8 GM has very video-friendly features. Manual focusing is very smooth and manageable, even though it is focus-by-wire and not direct. There is no noticeable focus breathing, and the zoom lens is nearly parfocal. The image quality ranks with Zeiss Batis and Loxia lenses - sharp to the extreme corners. I can tell no difference. The zoom control is a little stiff for video, and neither the zoom nor focus ring is geared for remote operation.. You want a good, stiff head if you're using it on a tripod. For serious video, you should consider a Sony PZ28-135, which has all of the desirable production features, and superb image quality.

Q: 10. Is the autofocus motor silent when recording video?

A: This is pro quality lens. Smaller and lighter then Canon and Nikon. This is silent and fast auto focus lens.
