85mm GM review by ePhotozine:

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 G Master lens is a traditionally very high quality choice. It is ideal for many more types of subject than portraits, although with the beautiful bokeh provided portraiture may well be high on the list for users of this lens. A very fine lens, very well made and a joy to use, this is superb in every respect.  

24-70mm review by Richard Fox:

All in all I’m more than happy with this lens. Already it’s becoming my go to lens for most of my work, only swapping them for when I need a wider, or more telephoto, focal length lens. Although it is a bit heavier than the Canon lens, without a Metabones FE to EF adapter, which is what I was considering, it’s over 100g lighter. This is still a very sought after lens and production is still continuing to try and match demand. Many photographers are still waiting for this long anticipated progression in to the professional (‘aperture’) lens market. I wonder if the 3 new GM lenses (70-200, 24-70 and 85mm) will be matched with a higher end professional body in 2016/2017 too?

24-70mm GM review at Camerastuffreview

The Sony 24-70 mm f/2.8 G Master is a beautiful and welcome addition to the assortment of lenses with the Sony FE-mount (the mount of the full-frame system cameras; the SLRs have a different mount). The optical performance is very good, where in particular the superior bokeh stands out. We were impressed by the sleek and functional construction, without unnecessary frills. That is in part the reason why the lens—for a bright, full-frame, professional standard zoom—stayed compact and usable. In combination with the mirrorless A7R Mark 2 with built-in image stabilization, it was a pleasure to work with. Just as with the most modern 24-70 mm f/2.8 lenses from Nikon and Canon, the Sony FE 24-70 mm f/2.8 G Master has an impressive price tag. But then you get a lot—a whole lot—in exchange.
