Customers appreciate the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II lens for its excellent image quality, especially in low light, and its fast autofocus capabilities. The lens's relatively light weight is also a highly valued feature. The only drawback mentioned by customers is its high price.

Odds are you’ve seen other reviews online that go into full details. If not, go check them out. My personal experience is that the lens feels very light for a 70-200 and the image quality is fantastically sharp.

So lite for a 70-200, great light performance and image quality. I used so far for event photography. Great image stabilization. No complaints except the price, expensive! However you clearly get what you pay for.

The Sony 70-200mm lens is a game-changer for my photography. Its zoom range offers incredible versatility, allowing me to capture everything from close-up portraits to distant subjects with ease. The image quality is outstanding, with sharpness and clarity that never disappoint. Autofocus is fast and accurate, perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects. It's a must-have for any serious photographer's kit.

I was skeptical about the reviews until I actually pulled the trigger and bought it. Big upgrade compared to the previous version. Not only is it lighter but it focuses faster too.

Amazingly light compared to version 1. I love having the aperture ring on the lens to go along with my primes. It’s super sharp, fast AF, and now at a weight I don’t mind carrying all day.

Wow! All I can say is wow! I’ve been a photographer my entire life and this lense is a game changer.
I took it out of the box, attached it to my camera and went to take photos of my daughter’s lacrosse game.
Now it looks like I really know what I’m doing.

I took this out on a trip to china and korea and it was amazing. Sure it’s on the heavier side for travel but the pictures you get makes it worth it. Just bring a peak design clip and you should be fine. The pictures are sharp and the auto focus is lightning fast. You will not be disappointed if you pair this lens with an a7rv or another newer body.

The 70-200 has been nothing short of amazing! The weight of the lens was super shocking! I thought it would be heavier because of the build, but it’s actually easy to carry for the day! The images that come out are astonishing! At 2.8-4.0 the bokeh is unmatched! Extremely happy I got this lens!

What can I say? This lens is amazing (and for the price, it better be). It is sharp, fast, and the lightest 70-200 2.8 I have ever held. The performance in low light is stunning and the internal zoom is lovely
