- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2025Style: SEL70200GMVerified PurchaseA gorgeous lens. Very lightweight (for what it does - this is a professional bright aperture zoom). Autofocus is very fast and precise with my Sony a1. Image quality is wonderful. The inner-zoom design is a game-changer - one to go to inner-zoom you never want to go back.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2025Style: SEL2470GMVerified PurchaseHigh end Sony camera lens, I have used it multiple occasions, for landscape and portraits. Both work great. Only drawback is a bit heavy, but that’s what high end lens are.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2024Style: SEL70200GMVerified PurchaseAs 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2025Style: SEL2470GMVerified PurchaseI mean, WOW. I am seriously in love with this lens. I’ve used many lens brands in the past, which include the stock Sony lens which came with the camera I purchased and a Sigma lens. NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS ONE!
The Sony G Master series is by far out of this world. The crisp photos are perfection. I’m in complete awe. As a photographer and business owner, it is so important to have the right products. This camera has blown my work out of the park and makes me stand out as a sole photographer.
I’ve attached some photos for reference!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2025Style: SEL70200GMVerified PurchaseThis lens is so good, my wife even enjoyed using it and she gets disappointed almost every night ,so it takes a lot, in my opinion, to impress her. It is worth the weight to use it, its now my main lens its so fun to use. A good way to think of it is, not every shot is a keeper, but every shot is clear!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2017Style: SEL2470GMVerified PurchaseFirst of all, the pictures are so good that my co-workers have asked me to share the details of my new lighting setup. All I did was replace the Sony A7II kit lens with this lens and started shooting with it rather than my Canon T4i with the 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. It's nice and sharp.
I usually shoot at f/2.8 or all the way up to f/16. One thing that I noticed is that the color of the image completely changes when I switch to f/16 and the distortion is completely out of hand on the edge of the frame.
For this reason, I'm waiting for the new Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art lens to be released. My experience with Sigma Art Lenses is that there is minimal distortion. We'll see.
However...
One unexpected, absolute win that will make it hard for me to ever give up this lens, is the custom button. It's sped up my workflow. Cut my shooting time in half. That one extra button has allowed me to set up all the features I use so that I don't have to deal with the nightmarish menus system at all during a shoot. I've now got all the patterns memorized so that I can change the focus type/points without looking at the camera.
Since the Sigma won't have that, it may add too much time to my shoots.
Another benefit is the focusing. I've owned both the Sony A7II and the A6300 (which I sold as a favor, it is a great camera). The issue I had with both camera's and their kit lenses is that the focus was wildly inconsistent. The camera's would totally whiff many times in a row and I had to take way more pictures than needed to insure that I had a enough shots. There were pictures where literally nothing in the shot was in focus.
The G Master hasn't done that yet and I've taken 3000 - 5000 pictures with it. The lens is great.
Pros:
-Stunning image quality
-Accurate focus
-Nice out of focus areas - haven't seen the bokeh balls yet, but I like the way the background melts away and the subject is isolated
-Feels solid
-Custom button - my favorite feature
Cons
-Heavy - Called one reviewer a whimp for complaining that you wouldn't be able to go fifteen minutes with this lens before your arms wearing out. Well, I lasted about six hours over the course of two days before my arms were burning. I'm used to the weight now, but my arms were on fire by the end of that second day.
-Distortion - At f/16 the distortion is just ridiculous on the edges of the frame. I now know to keep everything in the center and crop. The correction in Adobe Lightroom and Capture One is totally unacceptable. Compared to the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art or the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8, the distortion is absurd.
-Crazy Colors - I've literally taken shots back to back, no setting change, and seen a color shift in the image. Boggles my mind. The color shift that occurs when switching from f/2.8 to f/16 is acceptable, because I use mixed lighting all the time, so I just re-balance the color. When there's a shift without changing the settings or moving, however, I just don't understand that.
