I recently added the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II to my kit and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite lenses to shoot with. It feels solid and well-built, but still light enough that I don't hesitate to bring it along. Image quality is excellent throughout the range - sharp, clean, and with great contrast. Autofocus is fast and confident, and the stabilization makes handheld shooting at 200mm much easier than expected. I also love how close this lens can focus - it's been surprisingly useful for details and "almost macro" shots when I don't want to swap lenses. If you want a telephoto zoom that delivers pro results without the bulk of an f/2.8, this one is a fantastic choice.

I bought this to fill a gap in my camera bag. I'm astounded at how good it is with the 1.4 and 2x teleconverters both for macro and telephoto use. It's small and light too. If you're looking for flexibility and high performance in 70mm to 400 mm range in a small light package this is for you. I'm very pleased.

This lens works great with both my sel20TC converter and my A7 mark4 and A6700 cameras!

I love this lense. A fantastic all rounder with a great zoom that plugs the gap for when I don't need to carry a larger lens around. The macro is also superb, easily the most comfortable macro I've used. *****

I purchased this lens about a year ago now and very happy with the results. This lense is incredible and small compared to other 70-200G lenses. The first thing I fell in love with was the image quality and the bokeh. It really surprised me as this is a very sharp lense and very usable in the field with its macro capabilities. I also purchased the 1.4x teleconverter and it performs very nicely. Overall, I believe this is one of the best lenses I've purchased to date. It's fast autofocus, sharpness, and the macro capabilities adds to its usefulness. 100%.

Bought this lens in December 2024 and I just love it. Focus and zoom rings are so easy to turn. It's a dream.

A recent purchase after having sold my 70-200 G f2.8, and I must admit this has been an eye-opener for me, who is just a happy amateur photographer. The features, the weight the size has been brilliant; I can carry it in a small shoulder bag along with my A7cii when in the city, which saves me from carrying my larger full-frame cameras along with a couple of other lenses I would encourage anyone to give this lens a try

I'm pleased to have a zoom macro lens, which saves walking into the flower bed to take flower and insect pictures It's such a disappointment that Sony will not provide Arca compatible lens feet, so you need to add a further budget allowance if you want to use a tripod head of any sort!

Initial impressions - WOW! I've been using this for outdoor sports photo/video and have been impressed with the crispy photos and the ability to capture fast action. For my use the f/4 is perfect and does an exceptional job considering the price point. I'm not at the level of considering the f/2.8 at this time but maybe in the future if I can get over the price point.

I have the existing Sony 70-200 F4 G lens that I love for landscape photography. I decided to buy the version 2 lens for the macro capability, the fact that it is compatible with the teleconvertors and for the fast autofocus with the linear focus motors. When used with my Sony A7RV with insect subjectcdetect I capture beautiful macro shots. With the teleconvertor or punch in 1.5 crop I get some nice birds in flight photos with good reach with this very light lens. The shorter length when packed away means I can leave it attached to my camera and it still fits in my messenger bag for compact light carry. It really is like having three lenses in one. I really love this versatile lens & the shots render beautifully straight out of camera & I don't feel like they need very much editing! Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed!

This turns out to be a very wonderful travel/hiking/backpacking lens. It's compact size and relative light weight make it easy to pack around, and the lability to add a teleconverter with little loss of quality makes it extremely versatile for a wide range of photographic needs. And of the picture quality of this lens is excellent.

Great, beautiful lens, cannot fault it. But I'm a little bit disappointed with Sony for not being able to include any bag for the lens. It's okay, we can buy it, but when you spend premium money on premium lens, you expect it to be perfect...and to save on a simple bag? Sony, it's embarrassing!

I bought this lens to photograph butterflies in the wild. A normal telephoto lens does not work because the minimum focus distance is too large. The 70-200 f4 Macro ii seems to be just the thing.

The macro capability of the new 70-200 is so useful! Image quality is great through the whole range and OSS makes handheld shots so much easier. f/4.0 is absolutely no problem with modern sensors and image processing - f/4.0 is also smaller and lighter.

I cannot say enough about this new lens, it has been my most used since I bought it. Super sharp along with being small & light it's the perfect zoom in my opinion. Don't worry about the f4 unless you must have a stop faster. The icing on the cake is the macro which can be 1 to 1 with the teleconverter. lastly crazy fast focusing makes this lens one of Sony's best, buy it now and you won't regret it.

I am so happy with this lens. I traded several lenses to contribute toward this one. It was nice to work with the trade-in crew and easy. I put the lens through its paces on my A7R5 and its sharp, reliable and lite AND works with my 2x multiplier! Love it.
