Review Summary

I bought this for my a7ii over the GM F2.8 for three reasons: 1. The price difference will go towards another purchase. 2. I never encounter a situation where I need the extra stop of light gathering power or the subtle difference in DOF at 70+mm. 3. The size and weight of the F4 is preferable for most of my projects and assignments. Performance wise, this lens is very sharp and grabs focus quickly in outdoor and decent lighting situations. It also yields fantastic results when using continuous AF and eye AF for moving subjects and portraiture. If you primarily shoot weddings and often find yourself covering receptions in dimly lit rooms, the F2.8 might be worth the investment for that extra stop of light gathering ability. However, I have shot with this lens and the Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS I & II on the 5DM3 in such situations and I honestly prefer the Sony F4 when considering the Sony system's contributing features (ie EVF, MF-assist, continuous AF + live view). Overall: The design and functionality of the lens provides everything one would want in a 70-200 F4 in my opinion. It's a little awkward on the a7ii alone, but with the battery-grip it feels sturdy and balanced.

Zoom in on your subject with this Sony 70-200mm f/4.0 lens. A consistent aperture makes it easy to pick out the right settings for the lighting conditions, whether you are using it as a portrait lens or focusing on wildlife or architecture. It's lightweight, so you can take it with you on long walks or hikes, and you can secure this E-mount lens directly to a tripod for exceptionalstability.
If you want to take movies with your Sony Handycam or mirrorless camera, this Sony 70-200mm f/4.0 lens incorporates a quiet motor so that you don't hear the typical whirring on your soundtrack when zooming in and refocusing on your subject. It also focuses quickly when combined with an appropriate camera, so it's ideal for taking photos at fast-moving sports events.
When the light is low, this mirrorless camera lens compensates with its integrated image stabilization, which adjusts for hand shake and light vibrations so that your images remain sharp. When you want to defocus the background, circular aperture blades produce a smooth bokeh with circular light points when the aperture is wide open. Smooth control, a dust and moisture-resistant design and outstanding light transmission ensure this Sony 70-200mm f/4.0 lens is a lens that you always want close at hand.
Full frame 70-200 mm 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.
