Review Summary

I wanted a decent range on the zoom lens so I didn't have to carry multiple lenses around. I was recommended this one, and with the relatively low f-stop, this lens fits the bill! I am super happy about its compact size. It has the range I was looking for.

Bought this lens as I have moved up from a RX10IV. I like the fact that the zoom is internal so the length of the lens doesnt change when using, also the zoom range can be altered with 1/4 turn of the zoom ring.Focus is quick but I'm still playing with the focus areas to find the ones that suit me best.Lens is fairly heavy ( for me) in use for flying birds but overall I am very happy with the lens

Although this lense feels substantial and well made, it is very light for a telephoto and is comfortable to handle. The aperture ring adds to the ease of use of this lens. Most important is the stunning quality of photos.

Noticeably lighter than the mk1. Central sharpness excellent at all aperture. Corners generally sharp, however noticeably soft at 70mm and 200mm f2.8 f4 on my lens. Still overall sharper than the older lens but not by a lot.

Early days yet and not had much opportunity to give it a good try out, but I am very pleased with it so far and according to the reviews it is one of sony!s finest lenses, so I've no reason to think otherwise.

I bought this FE 70200 f2.8 OSS GM lense for landscape photography. Works flawlessly easy to use and fast focusing. Distant objects very sharp and no aberration.

Having had the Mark 1, this was an absoluterevelation fo weight, sharpness and focus abilities and is permanently attached to an A1 in my bag. I tmade the mark 1 look really average and still impresses 2 years and 190,000 images later. Absolutely reliable and dependable, it is a real no brainer optic especially wide open.

This lens is worth it just for the weight reduction on a 12 hour wedding day. Get it you won't regret it. The stabilization inside this lens is also on another level, hand held video at 200mm is smoooooooth.

I recently purchased a Sony camera lens, and I must say, I am extremely impressed. The image quality is outstanding, with sharp details and vibrant colors. The lens is also very versatile, allowing me to capture a wide range of subjects with ease. The build quality is top-notch, giving it a durable and professional feel. Overall, I highly recommend the Sony camera lens for anyone looking to elevate their photography game. As a female photographer shooting women, I think it's a good lens. However, my post was moderated, and someone deemed my pictures inappropriate. Interestingly, Instagram had better moderation than Sony, as they did not find the images problematic. Nevertheless, this lens takes great pictures of women, whether showing less or more skin. I still keep my Canon 29-300 lens, which has been doing the job for the past 10 years. P.S. My photos have been on the covers of big magazines, and I "apologize" to the Sony moderator for disagreeing that women in lingerie are inappropriate.

The quality of this lens is second to none. I challenge Nikon to improve their lens hoods to match the Sony standard. The speed of the auto focus is almost instant. I own the Sony alpha 1 and the Nikon z9 both great cameras but I am very happy with the Sony lenses.

Where precision meets performance, the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II G Lens for Sony FE stands out as a high-quality, advanced, and reliable choice for photographers. This innovative lens delivers exceptional image quality across the entire zoom range, thanks to its two aspherical elements and one XA (extreme aspherical) element. These elements ensure high resolution throughout the image area, making it a perfect companion for Sony's full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The lens features two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and two Super ED glass elements, which work together with the ED aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberration. This results in sharp, high-quality images with accurate color and contrast. The lens is also equipped with Sony's Nano AR (anti-reflective) Coating II, which effectively subdues flare and ghosting, ensuring clear and crisp imagery even in challenging lighting conditions.
The FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II G Lens is not just about image quality; it's also about speed and precision. It houses four of Sony's original XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, delivering high thrust efficiency that boosts autofocus speed by up to 4x compared to the previous model. This ensures fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking for stills and movies, making it an ideal choice for capturing fast-moving subjects.
Designed with movie magic in mind, this lens features the latest technology to reduce focus breathing, focus shift when zooming, and axis shift when zooming. The XD Linear Motors and a new aperture drive unit contribute to quiet operation, making this lens ideal for movie shooting.
Despite its advanced features, the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II G Lens is the world's lightest 70-200mm F2.8 zoom lens, weighing just 2.3 lb. (1045 grams). This is achieved through the use of XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components, making it approximately 29% lighter than the previous model. Its lightweight design and advanced design features improve balance and handling, making it a pleasure to use for extended periods.
The lens also offers flexible focus control with features such as Full-time DMF (Direct Manual Focus), Linear Response MF, and a focus-range limiter. It also features an aperture ring with switchable clicks and an iris lock for extra exposure control. Its dust and moisture-resistant design, along with a fluorine-coated front element, ensures maximum reliability in tough environments.
In summary, the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II G Lens for Sony FE is a durable, reliable, and advanced lens that delivers high-quality images and exceptional performance. Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiast, this lens is a valuable addition to your photography gear.
