Hello is this a good first lens for a beginners first camera (sony a7c)?

To second what Sammy said, this is the BEST general use, mid-level zoom in it’s class for this camera. It is professional grade and is thus very expensive. If looking for a beginners lens, I would start with the f/4 or Sigma/Tamron variants as the differences in image quality will not be a deal-breaker and/or very noticeable for someone first starting off. Of course, if you can afford it and it’s within your budget, you can’t get any better than this in the 24-70mm range. Otherwise, save a huge chunk of money and get the variants. Hope this helps!

What are the differences between this lens and the original Sony 24-70 GM?

Hello. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The key differences between the SEL2470GM and SEL2470GM2 are that the version 2 is smaller and lighter, faster and more precise autofocus performance, an additional custom button, as well as a few other internal changes that are explained in more detail on the Sony website. Sincerely, Nick Sony Social Support
