Fabulous Lens

I am loving this lens. I am able to get up close to my subjects. The pictures are clear even at 200. I realize this is an older lens, so it does weigh a little bit more than I would like.

Good, but nothing special

This lens is no better or easier to use than the same spec Minolta lens from 30 years ago!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

This is my first G-Master lens and having a native lens on my MKV is a dream come true. Super fast and crisp. Now I completely understand how and why Sony charges what they do. You need one.

Awesome Lens!

I could have dished out the extra money to get the GM II, but I didn't feel it was necessary. This lens was great when I took it to the zoo on a family outing. I'm not the best photographer around (still learning), but this lens definitely exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend this lens to anyone wanting a 70-200 zoom, especially paired with the 2x teleconverter.

Worthy Companion

I am a fan of Sony's GM lenses. I've take some choice photos with this lens. It's well worth it.

Lightweight versatile lens

This is my number one go to lens. I have used it for many years and it keeps on giving me the quality images for my needs. I like that it is small an compact and has a good Bokeh on images. Color is correct and there is little I need to do in Lightroom afterwards.

Tried and tested

Received it used it for a few shots. Great lens specs except for the weight. Nice pics but the weight of it is over 4lbs! Hard sell even at the cheaper price and nice picture results, the weight makes this V1 lens hard to travel witth. If you are on a budget and don't mind the weight, this lens is good. I decided to go for the V2 since I plan to use this on multiple occasions and travel with it a lot.

You'll want this lens

This lens is amazing! It's still new to me, but the possibilities that I can see are so exciting! Adorama really offers the best package deals, so take advantage of that. Lens is perfect. Shipped with zero damages, like always. If you're on the fence, get this one!

Fantastic lense of it's era

This lense I will easily say is a 5star lense of it's era. But if I were to say if it came out now in the same way, you can see it's aging. The quality and use of this lense is truly magnificent but it has 2 main quirks that have been addressed in the new model 2 that came out. #1 weight. This lense is heavy. You can use it as a Tonfa and beat your intruder with it. #2 speed. It is fast but after the 135gm came out the old motors just aren't the same. Aside from that it's an amazing lense that can get you results but if you are going to get a Sony a1 for 30fps this lense can't keep up with those frames.

FE70-200 F2.8 GM

Purchased this super lens from ffords in Scotland to try out against my F4 version, well the results are outstanding, yes its big and heavy but that's not a problem for me and i'm no spring chicken! Sold the F4. I would highly recommend this lens if you shoot action in dull lighting.

Poor protection registration process

I bought 70-200mm GM OSS II but during the product protection registration it did not allow me to register this product. Rather only as an older model

Beautiful lens for sports content.

I bought this lens a few weeks ago to replace my f/4 70-200 and there's just so much to say about this lens. Probably the best piece of glass I've ever used. Its autofocus capabilities are insanely sharp especially when shooting video. I'm a sports photographer and videographer, so shooting fast-moving subjects is an essential part of my job. The autofocus is super quick, especially in low light. Don't even get me started on the bokeh!! it's extravagant. 10/10 lens for sure. The only reason that it isn't a perfect lens is its weight. It's low-key really heavy. paired with my ?7III with the battery grip it's about 4-5lbs.

Expectations met

Started out in the film days with a 70-210 (not 2.8) A world of difference. Fast focus. Very sharp. Expensive and specific, maybe. Worth every penny.

Sports lens and more

I bought this lens for sport and the very next day took it to a horse show. So glad I did. It hardly missed a shot and when it did it was operator error.

Great Glass

I purchased this lens recently and use it primarily for wildlife and birds in flight. In many cases, I have attached the 1.4 TC. Both with and without the teleconverter the lens produces extremely sharp photos on a consistent basis.

Sharp lens

By Scopwick

I have owned versions of both the Canon and Nikon 70-200 f2.8 lenses previously, but I jumped ship to Sony last year in an attempt to decrease the weight of equipment I lug around airshows. This lens is not significantly lighter than the above and it carries a price premium. The easy answer would have been to go for the Sony 70-200 F4 but I admit to being a "pixel peeper" and my 100-400 GM Sony lens is so sharp I decided to pull the trigger on the 70-200mm F2.8 GM. In the month since purchasi...
