Review Summary

Having the 70-200 f2.8 Mark II, I was reluctant to pick up the new F4 version. Having used it for a couple of weeks I am extremely impressed in the compact size and full features this lens provides. My images are tack sharp, and I'm able to get the maximum frames per second that my Aii and A9iii provide. It's the perfect lens to take on a hike.

I have had this lens now for 1 1/2 years. I love it! I am using it more than I would have thought. I use it for landscapes and urban scenes and it allows me to get tight and close shots of many items to keep my photos simple without clutter or confusion. Even at 2.8 or at 16, the results are beautiful!

I can't believe the sharpness. I'm amazed at how a lens this big can be that lightweight and sharp. I haven't taken it off the camera since. It's one of the best pieces of glass I've ever used and it's incredibly affordable.

This is my first "expensive" lens, I had a Tamron 70/300 lens and I liked it - I thought the build quality was good and the results were fine. Then I got the SONY 70/200 and straight away it was in a different league. The build quality is unmatchable, if Rolle Royce made lenses, this would be it. I live on a bit of rock poking out into the Bristol Channel, we get some outstanding sunsets and sunrises, I've taken thousands of photos of these, people liked them. I took some with the SONY lens and shared those, everybody could see the difference, vivid oranges and reds, the orange reflects on clouds, the sun's reflection spreading across the water. I knew straight away I'd never use the Tamron again, I sold it a week later and now I'm hoping to upgrade to the f2.8 version of this lens.

A good performance long range zoom lens, even it is the first version.

I researched and found both 70 to 200 lenses, and at first I bought the other one. But I regretted it, I really wanted the macro more than the extra speed. I returned it, and I am very glad, the other lens was faster yes, but quite a lot bigger and no macro. And the camera has eight stops of image stabilization, and noise reduction on the computer is magical. So I'm satisfied with the speed of this lens as well. I hope it's ok to leave this with no photographs, I am learning to use this by getting birds in focus, do you really want to see a goldfinch on my feeder?

Always skeptical when choosing a Lens but the Guys at the Sony Centre in Falkirk were on the ball and couldnt have been more helpful and explained everything and you can see the difference with the standard lense to the FE 70-200mm F4

I wanted a compact travel zoom that did it all. I believe that I've found it. This lens is everything that every reviewer liked about it. Small in size, fast focusing and sharp. The close-focusing capability sealed the deal for me.

Light weight. Tack sharp. Fast and sticky auto focus. Very good for a birds in flight photographer.

This lens produces the absolute best pictures I have ever seen. It's also compact so I can take it with me. With the 1.4 extender it is great for macro shots. My favorite lens of all times.

I bought this lens just a month ago, but i already falling love with. it was my dream since its came out many years ago, but i could'nt afford one until now. the lens itself not to heavy, not to big. easy to handle. the oss is great 1/10 by hand held and the image is still not blurry. The image quality is excellent. Focus is very quick, silent and accurate.

I bought this lens about 9 months ago and have used it extensively with my a7lll to shoot air shows, vacation photos and wildlife. I am an experienced amateur photographer, but have gotten serious about photography after I retired. The lens is compact, not as heavy as my Sony SEL200600G lens and has always focused quickly and quietly for me. I pair it with my SEL24105G for a full range of options when shooting.

Great lens! I used it to capture the Broken Arrow Band experience as one of their photographers. I've since moved on to take shots of FSU Marching Chiefs and The Spirit of Atlanta Drum Corps. My shots are amazing. I can catch everything I need from a distance.

I'm a pro photojournalist, and I'm shocked about how wonderful this lens is to use. It's lighter, sharper, quieter, and faster to focus. It was worth every hard earned penny.

I enjoy this lens but you should know it is very, very heavy. I bought a device so that I could carry my camera and lends on my belt because of the weight.

I owned a Sigma 100-400 and wasn't happy with it until I bought the 70- 200 Sony and am extremely happy.

Just spent a few hours running this lens through its paces at a military families day with plenty of photo opportunities. Performed like a dream. Left the lens foot at home to lose weight. Internal focusing was a real boon. Good robust lens hood worked well in bright sunlight. Recommended.

Really good lens, I don't need the F2.8 and this F4 is great and very sharp, using it on both full and crop sensor cameras A6000 and A7iv. Well made and having a 72mm thread all my filters fit. Moved to Sony from Nikon and to be honest I'm very happy, Nikon lost out as in many ways just seem to be falling behind with their mid range cameras, for what I need anyway

Stunning....
By JohnNH
I purchased this lens for use on both my A7 and A7R - and it certainly does not disappoint. In fact, after coming from the Nikon world - I expected this Sony lens to fall a bit short in IQ compared to my Nikkor counterparts - but, in fact - it is as good as, if not better! - then my Nikkor 80-200mm F/2.8 IF-ED and other Nikkor lenses (I own a bunch of high end Nikon lenses). A couple of very simple truths about this lens... 1) Looks are deceiving. I expected this lens to be hefty and heavy - ...

Excellent Lens
By GaryS
Purchased the FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS Full-frame Zoom Lens to use with my a7 and a7r. This set-up works great for me as it feels lighter in my hands than my old set-up, Nikon D610 + Nikkor 70-200m f/4G VR. The images captured with both Sony cameras are sharp and as good or better than my old set-up. I am very happy that I made the switch. I do not care about the techno stuff. All that I care about is the output and with this equipment, I can see an improvement in my images. I have no problem car...

Close the gap between you and your subject with this Sony 70-200mm f/4 lens. It produces consistent results across the full zoom range thanks to the f/4 aperture, ensuring that when you're creating videos, it has a consistent amount of light entering the camera for easy movie making. In addition, it connects directly to a tripod so that you can mount it on a lightweight mirrorless digital camera or your Sony Handycam and balance this telephoto lens appropriately.
This Sony 70-200mm f/4 lens fits a wide range of E-mount cameras for maximum versatility across your collection, and an aluminum alloy barrel ensures that it withstands everyday use, letting you take it with you wherever you go. This zoom lens also includes a focus hold button and a focus range limited so that you can control where the camera focuses with ease. Lens-based image stabilization incorporates built-in gyro sensors so that slightmovements and vibrations are compensated for, allowing you to take sharper photos even when the light is low. Powerful dust and moisture resistance, fully internal focusing and a nine-blade circular aperture ensure this Sony 70-200mm f/4 lens is a great lens to take with you when shooting photos of wildlife.
Full frame 70-200mm G Lens
This compact, lightweight telephoto zoom lens is ideal for full-frame E-mount bodies, delivering superb G Lens image quality throughout the zoom range. AA (advanced aspherical) elements, Super ED and ED glass elements, the Sony Nano AR Coating, and a 9-blade circular aperture add up to refined rendering with smooth bokeh where desired. Maximum aperture is a constant F4, and the physical length of the lens does not change when zooming or focusing. Dual linear motors ensure fast, precise focusing. Focus hold, range limiter and other controls are located on the barrel for easy access. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization is built in.
High performance G Series telephoto zoom lens
Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization
Sony Nano AR Coating to eliminate flare and ghosting
Circular 9-blade aperture for beautiful defocus effects
Dust and moisture-resistant design
In addition to an ideal zoom range for nature, sports, and other photography that requires a bit more "reach" that a mid-range zoom provides, this lens offers outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness from 70 mm to 200 mm in a compact, lightweight unit that is a perfect match for compact full-frame E-mount bodies like the a7 series. Being a G Lens it can also produce smooth, creamy background bokeh.
Superior G Lens rendering - State-of-the-art optics in a compact, lightweight lens with constant F4 maximum aperture offer the appealing, expressive image quality that the G Lens lineup is famous for.
Optimum sharpness and bokeh in one lens - AA (advanced aspherical) elements, super ED glass, the Nano AR coating, and a 9-blade circular aperture deliver outstanding sharpness with gorgeous background bokeh.
Lightweight mobility and smooth control - A compact, lightweight design maximizes mobility, internal focusing keeps lens length constant for better handling, and a number of other refinements enhance overall control.
Always sharp and clear - Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake, which can blur images when shooting handheld, for sharp, clear telephoto shots and low-light indoor images.
