This lens creates the best images from a 70-200 lens I have ever seen
After investing into the sony e mount range, this lens was my next step. My wife covers me in shooting the 24-70 nikon, and she wishes to stick with it. This lens creates the best images from a 70-200 lens I have ever seen.

Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 Telephoto Zoom Lens Review
The Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 Telephoto Zoom Lens is extremely sharp at every focal length, but costs more than most cameras. If you're an event shooter with a Sony camera system, it's likely that the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 Telephoto Zoom Lens ($1,999.99 direct)($2,499.00 at Amazon) is a lens that is essential to your kit. It retains a maximum f/2.8 aperture throughout its zoom range, and is quite sharp. If you can't justify its price, Sony also sells as slower, but longer zooming, 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6($2,499.00 at Amazon) for around $900. The lens features a light gray finish, with black focus and zoom rings. It's big, measuring 7.75 by 3.5 inches (HD), and heavy at just under 3 pounds. There is a tripod collar, which lets you mount the lens directly to a tripod or monopod. This provides better weight distribution and balance, lessening stress on your camera's lens mount. There are a number of switches on the lens—one to toggle auto and manual focus, one to let the camera control Direct Manual Focus or to engage it full time, and one to choose a limited focus range (3 meters to infinity) or to let the camer...
Pros:
- Extremely sharp
- Constant f/2.8 aperture
- Includes tripod collar
Cons:
- Expensive
- Big and heavy
- Noticeable distortion

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G is without doubt an excellent lens. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's based on a 7-year old Minolta design - it's at least a match for the more recent third party options from Tamron and Sigma, and only just outperformed by Nikon's very latest (and pricey) 70-200mm F2.8...
Pros:
- Excellent image quality on full frame
- very good on APS-C
- Superb build quality
- Fast
- silent autofocus with manual override
- Well-placed AF stop buttons
Cons:
- A bit soft wide open at the telephoto end on APS-C
- No dust or moisture sealing (which we'd expect in a 'Pro' level lens
- Slightly suspect image quality at closest focus (very soft indeed at F2.8
- Extremely expensive compared to third party alternatives

Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS
The Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS is an oustanding telephoto zoom lens for Sony's full-frame compact system cameras, although there's a high price to pay for such quality. It delivers outstanding sharpness in the centre of the frame almost throughout its entire aperture and zoom range, also...

Extraordinary Lens
I had to wait quite awhile for this lens. It was worth it. I am a recent convert to a Sony a7 r ii from Nikon. The transition is proving daunting but this lens makes it all worth while. And special thanks to Abt for being the only place able to obtain it!

Professional product, through and through!
You DO get what you pay for. This lens is NOT cheap nor light weight - let's just get that out first. It's more expensive than any competitors' 70-200 f2.8 lens. But if you are a Sony FF mirrorless shooter, and you want the absolute top-notch quality out of your gear, this lens will not disappoint...
Pros:
- Great focal length range
- fast aperture
- sharp with great colors
- contrast
- and bokeh
Cons:
- Expensive
- heavy
- expensive :-

Takes great pics
Had for a few weeks now and very impressed with quality of pics being taken. however, the zoom ring is loose compared to the 24-70 mm F2.8 gm, on the 24-70 the zoom is where you have to actually turn it to move it while on the 70-200 you can accidentally bump it and it will move with no effort.
