FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II – Sony Alpha full-frame constant-aperture telephoto zoom lens with excellent G MASTER resolution and bokeh optimized for still and movie image quality and autofocus performance
The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS delivers superb Image quality throughout the zoom range at all focusing distances with two aspherical elements and one XA (extreme aspherical) element to ensure high resolution throughout the image area. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and one ED aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberration while Sony’s Nano AR (anti-reflective) Coating II subdues flare and ghosting. For additional reach, high-performance 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are available (sold separately)..Angle of View (APS-C) : 23ﾟ- 8ﾟ6, Maximum Magnification ratio (x) : 0.3
Four of Sony’s original XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors deliver high thrust efficiency that boosts AF speed by up to 4x compared to the previous model for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking for stills and movies. AF tracking while zooming is improved by approx. 30% which greatly increase chances of getting the shot even with subjects moving rapidly towards the lens.
Designed with movie magic in mind and the latest lens 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 and independent control rings for focus, zoom and iris, with a click on/off switch for the aperture ring, make this lens ideal for movie shooting. Sony’s Linear Response MF feature ensures responsive and repeatable direct manual focus control.
This lens offers outstanding optical quality and autofocus in the world’s lightest* 70-200mm F2.8 zoom lens. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 2.3 lb. (1045 grams); approx. 29% lighter than the previous model. Advanced design improves balance, while a constant barrel length further contributes to easy, agile handling.

Insanely great lens!!!
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!

A zoom lens that performs better than some primes
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… $$$ConclusionIf 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.

Everything People Say It Is And More!
Sony has really set a new precedent with their GM glass and this really showcases it. They’ve somehow figured out how to encapsulate all of the desirable optical qualities you’d get with a very good prime into a zoom.Previously, I wouldn’t have even considered shooting a zoom for anything really important, but this lens changed all that. Even the bokeh is pleasant and very usable.It’s great not having to lug 5 lenses around with me everywhere I go and risk getting dust on the sensor when I’m changing them. It’s also refreshing having the freedom to focus solely on the photography side of things without having to worry about the equipment.I’ve heard people call this lens heavy, and it’s no lie. It is is among the heavier ones I’ve used. You can feel the quality of its construction in it’s sheer density and mass. With the grip, it’s not badly balanced, but without it, I don’t know how I would manage it. That’s really the only caveat that comes with this lens that I’ve found so far – you’ve got to possess the strength to wield it.Autofocus is very fast on my A7rii, but insanely fast on the A7riii. the colors are very nice, a bit on the cool side, which I prefer, and contrast is excellent. It’s also a very sharp lens, even at f/2.8.I also own the 28-105mm G now and I’d say this one is a bit better optically, at least to my taste. If being able to push the bokeh further and having that extra 1.2 stops of light matters to you, I’d go with this one. If having the extra range and a slightly lighter lens is a top priority, then opt for the 70-105. Or you can always buy both of them, because they’re both amazing in their own ways. Lol

Every Day Lens
I do all kinds of photography and since I bought this lens over a year ago, itâs 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 itâs tolerable. As far as the value, itâs 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 donât 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, Iâm very satisfied.

Expensive but amazing
That OSS is awesome… it practically makes a gimbal unnecessary. The bad thing is it cost a lot of money

This is my âgo to lensâ as a professional photographer. The light weight of the 70-200mm is remarkable.

Nonostante non sia l’ultima versione è spettacolare, foto nitide , stabilità e perfezione.Certo stiamo parlando di un obiettivo AL TOP, ma è per me il più utilizzato per il suo range e per i risultati che si ottengono.Consegna e obiettivo perfetti !
Restitutio –
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 deberÃa llevar en su mochila. La versatilidad nos permite abordar diferentes situaciones.
