As a professional photographer using the Sony A1, I can confidently say that the Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II lens is a remarkable addition to my gear. Here are a few reasons why this lens deserves a five-star rating:
**Exceptional Image Quality**
The optical quality of the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II is simply outstanding. The sharpness across the entire zoom range is impressive, with beautifully rendered details and minimal distortion. Whether I’m shooting portraits, wildlife, or sports, the images come out crystal clear with vibrant colors and excellent contrast.
**Fast and Reliable Autofocus**
The autofocus system on this lens is both fast and reliable, making it ideal for capturing moving subjects. The Eye AF feature works flawlessly, allowing me to achieve razor-sharp focus on my subjects’ eyes, which is crucial in professional photography.
**Build Quality and Ergonomics**
Sony’s G Master series is known for its robust construction, and this lens is no exception. It feels solid in hand, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight considering its capabilities, which is a significant advantage for long shoots. The weather-sealed body provides peace of mind in various shooting conditions, allowing me to concentrate on my work without worrying about environmental factors.
**Versatile Zoom Range**
With a focal length of 70-200mm, this lens covers a versatile range that is perfect for different photography styles. The constant f/2.8 aperture is a game-changer, providing excellent low-light performance and beautiful background blur (bokeh), which enhances portrait shots.
**Image Stabilization**
The built-in OSS (Optical SteadyShot) image stabilization is another highlight, allowing me to shoot at slower shutter speeds without sacrificing sharpness. This feature is invaluable for handheld shooting, especially in dynamic environments.
**Conclusion**
Overall, the Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II lens delivers exceptional performance and quality, making it an essential tool for any professional photographer using the Sony A1. It consistently exceeds my expectations across various scenarios, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their photography to new heights.

I have been looking for a long telephoto for months and tested virtually every other lens for Sony e-mount including the original version of this lens (not so good) with my A7R IVA. Every single one had an unacceptably high rate of out of focus and soft focus shots under many conditions.
Up to this point I had resisted buying this lens because of the price. Finally after exhausting virtually all other cheaper possibilities I spent the money!
I am happy to report it was the best money I have ever spent! This lens is beyond good it is insanely good and the best lens I have ever used in nearly every category. I went from an estimated 30% keeper rate with most other lenses to a 95% keeper rate with this lens! The auto focus accuracy, sharpness, and picture quality are off the charts and my customers have been astounded by the quality!
I cannot say enough about this lens coupled with the A7R IVA. It is mind blowingly good both for portrait and sports coverage and produces spectacular results with the right body!
I should mention it destroys the cheaper shorter range 70-180mm from a competing manufacturer.
Also be careful listening to biased influencers that profit financially or from receiving early access to new products. They may claim “the video is not sponsored” but receiving early (often pre-production) access to hot new products can also benefit them in terms of video views. What do you think happens to the early access a manufacturer gives them if their last product review was negative?
Bottom line is I do not write many glowing reviews but after spending a few weeks doing shoots with this lens I could not be happier!

Desde que lo compramos no hemos dejado de usarlo. Justo fue sustituirlo por un 85 mm que siempre llevamos puestos en el cuerpo de nuestra cámara y desde que lo compramos no lo hemos vuelto a quitar.
Es bien cierto que se trata de la versión GI, pero estamos muy contentos.
Resultados muy buenos y con nitidez.
Es la medida estándar que todo fotógrafo debería llevar en su mochila. La versatilidad nos permite abordar diferentes situaciones.

Bon objectif, mais très lourd et pas du tout compact !!

Do 5 stelle perchè le merita tutte. Materiali, nitidezza, incisione, colori. Unico neo: pesa (e non parlo del prezzo). Sul gimbal l’ho calibrato a 35mm per non far sforzare troppo i motori se cambio distanza focale. In compenso avrai degli avambracci poderosi.

Simplemente impresionante, la calidad y el rango es brutal, el mejor que existe

While the size and cost of this lens can’t be ignored, the quality and versatility also stand out. I normally post pictures, but there are already tons of sample pictures out there.
Pros
– The image quality is excellent and paired with the A7RIII, I was able to get some really great shots
– The build quality seems very sturdy, and my copy of the lens seems to be very good (which may speak to quality control by Sony)
– The zoom ring is quite firm, which keeps the lens from creeping.
– Nice to have the zoom lock feature when you need it
– Nice and sharp wide open, and throughout the zoom range (You can see a difference wide open at the end of the zoom range, but the photos are still very good)
– After shooting a little with this lens, and taking about 100 pictures, very few of them had any chromatic aberration. In post, I only needed to correct for this in a few photos.
Cons
– The size and weight are quite significant, and pretty much take away any size advantage that the mirror-less A7RIII might have had over another DSLR
– The focus is by wire, so you don’t get the same smooth focus-ring feel.
– While the A7RIII has IBIS, I would really like to see image stabilization here for the cost and size
– Speaking of price… $$$
Conclusion
If you are looking for a pro lens, and don’t mind carrying it around, then this lens is great. Extremely sharp for a zoom and correcting any chromatic aberration, or lens distortion was easily handled in Lightroom. If you are looking to get a standard zoom for your Sony mirror-less, this is a great option.

I do all kinds of photography and since I bought this lens over a year ago, it’s been my every day lens. The build quality is top notch. The autofocus is fast and accurate. The image quality is second to none with super sharp replication. The color contrast is what you would expect from a lens at this price range. The weight takes a little getting used to but it’s tolerable. As far as the value, it’s definitely worth the money. I have many lenses and I always find myself coming back to this one. I even have other GM IIs but they don’t have the reach that this one does. Sure this is not the lens for wide angle shots or other niche type shots but for an all around lens, I’m very satisfied.
