 Outstanding imagery with beautiful bokeh   With a constant F2.8 maximum aperture throughout a versatile 70 mm medium telephoto to 200 mm telephoto zoom range, this lens is well suited to a wide range of subjects such as sports, portraiture, landscapes, and much more. It delivers outstanding sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range, with gorgeous background bokeh when needed. A dust and moisture-resistant design contributes to consistently reliable performance when shooting outdoors.  &#149; G Lens telephoto zoom  &#149; SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) for fast, silent autofocus  &#149; ED glass elements effectively reduce chromatic aberration  &#149; Nano AR coating reduces ghosting and flare  &#149; Dust and moisture resistant   Improved performance at all focal lengths -  Reproduction of fine detail throughout the image area has been significantly enhanced, and beautiful G Lens background bokeh adds expressive appeal.   Clear images with crisp contrast -  Sony's Nano AR lens coating has a nano-precision structure that enhances clarity and contrast by reducing unwanted reflections for minimal flare and ghosting.   Faster tracking and improved response -  A new LSI drive circuit achieves significantly faster autofocus subject tracking than previous models, making the SSM drive system more responsive than ever.   A refined operating experience -  Three focus hold buttons, a focus mode and range limiter switch, and DMF (Direct Manual Focus) capability all add to a refined operating experience.   Lens Configuration   The impeccable Sony G Lens design emphasizes a graceful balance between high resolution and gorgeous background bokeh that can enhance the artist's vision.

An upgrade on the original excellent lens. The weight-saving is a nice bonus but the real selling point was the ability to close focus on friendly wildlife. I no longer have to worry about animals coming too close to manage in-focus pictures.

Zooming in on target

I bought this lense 1 month a go and I am happy.I will put in practice this weekend.

This lense is light and very sharp.

Best lens I have ever owned? currently hitting about 98% sharp images first time!

Brilliant lens with fantastic results

The 70-200mm F2.8 GSM11 lens used on my A7R mk11 is just a brilliant! combination and I wouldn't be with out it now. So far with sharp images captured everytime aided by inbuilt stabilisation.

I just love my new 70-200 mmF2.8 GSM11

No buyers remorse on this one. Yes the $2999.99 price tag is a high one but this is one quality piece of glass. I use this lens all the time but I purchased it for concert photography and it performs great in low light. Great image quality, fast auto focus, nice build and lightweight too. I've attached two concert examples. Great lens...I would love to own it's 300mm brother!!

Very Happy With This Lens

I use this lens on my A99, and shoot it at f2.8 or 4 whenever possible.  It's tack sharp, from f4 on down, and f2.8 is as sharp or sharper than either the new Canon or Nikon 24-70 f2.8.  This is also an excellent portrait lens for in the field (I use its shorter Zeiss counterpart in the studio), but it is large and heavy.  The color rendition, contrast and sharpness of this mid-tele rivals that of several primes due to its new coatings.  Flare and CA are non-existent.  The weather-sealing is excellent, and tempts you to take it into the rain-forest (and make you trek with it for hours) for some awesome images.  The autofocus is silent and near-instant, great for sports tracking, hot-air balloons, concerts.  This is a top-notch hunk of glass that will render images as well or better than what you can imagine, but it is very heavy.  Exceptionally well made.
