Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very expensive but it’s a super nice lens! I was totally amazed at how sharp my pictures are. This lens is awesome for sports, I’ve shot basketball games and have had some great shots. It’s very fast and this will help get that action shot. It’s not my go to for landscape shooting but I recommend it for everything else. Great bokeh for portraits. 2.8 all the way through is sweet. If you are considering anything else because of price, hold off a little longer and save up for this bad boy. Wife had a heart attack when she found out what I spent but she understood after she seen the shots of the kids.

The Sony 70-200mm lens is a remarkable piece of equipment that delivers outstanding performance. Its versatile focal range allows for capturing stunning portraits, sports events, wildlife, and more. The lens produces sharp images with excellent contrast and minimal distortion. The fast autofocus and image stabilization feature make it ideal for capturing action shots even in challenging conditions. Though it's a bit bulky and expensive, the image quality and overall performance justify the investment for serious photographers looking to elevate their work to new heights.

Crispiest lens I've ever owned. It is definitely heavy, but you'll feel like you're taking photos again for the first time if you get this. Save up your coins for this exact model. It's worth it.

This is an incredibly sharp and fast lens. The bokeh is buttery smooth and provides a nice separation between the subject and the background. I also own 24-70GM which is an excellent lens but this 70-200GM easily edges out in sharpness and bokeh. I love the focus hold buttons on the barrel that I have programmed to eye-AF. Another thing I love is that the zoom mechanism is housed inside of the barrel so when zooming in, the already long lens doesn't protrude any further which will definitely make it imbalanced and uncomfortable while hand-holding. It works really well for portraits as well as nature photography, especially flowers and animals. Sports is another area where this lens just shines. This is my first time using 200mm focal length (outside of a Bestbuy store anyway) so I was somewhat disappointed when I couldn't get far away subjects to fill the frame. I was expecting to be able to zoom in much further. But that is purely on me due to lack of prior experience with 70-200's. I will be purchasing a 2X extender in the future. Lastly, like all GM lenses, this is an expensive piece of glass. It took more than a year to save up for this beast and I am really glad that I finally have it in my collection. With zero regrets, I can easily recommend this lens to anyone who values high quality images.

Impressive Quality, but a heavy beast. I initially purchased the F4, but returned it a week later for the F2.8, and I am so glad I did. The difference is clear in terms of build and image quality. I can see the tiny hairs on my dog shooting free hand from appx 30 ft away. The large aperture lets me 8ncrease the shutter speed further to freeze her in motion. The focus is quick, consistent, and constant. Love it and I dont regret the 3k with insurance just in case.

I'm amazed by the versatility of this lens. I can get great portrait shots in addition to action, sports, and landscape. I originally bought the step down with the higher apature but couldnt get the best shots. The 2.8 on this lens is a true difference maker for sure. Id highly recommend spending yhe extra dollars here to upgrade. For me its been well worth it.

What more could you ask for in a zoom? This thing is insanely Sharp the focusing is extremely fast and it works really well in low-light situations with the 2.8 aperture. The only downside I have with this lens is the fact that it is big and it is heavy but if you can look past its large exterior you will not be disappointed!

I wasn’t sure at first since this lens has bad reviews from big time photographers but this lens is fast, sharp, & has amazing quality! Its pretty heavy! Your hand/arm will feel it lol.

After many YouTube videos and informative websites about camera lenses I decided to buy this lens. I haven’t had it for to long but so far It’s fast, and it takes amazing photos. Great multipurpose lens. I have taken some surf sunset photos. Images were sharp and reliable out of this lense. In the future I hope to do some portraits and landscape photis real soon. Highly recommend this lens for people looking for an amazing Telephoto lens. You get what you pay for, I don’t regret this purchase.

This is one of the best lenses I have ever purchased. worth every penny. It is super versatile and very clear. the autofocus is Perfect. I recommend it 100%. He also brings his case which is quite useful

This is probably one of the fastest auto-focusing lenses I've ever used. Previous to this, I was using a Canon 70-200 2.8 IS V2, and that was an exemplary lens all on its own. However, this Sony version is just as sharp as that lens and this comes in at a smaller size, plus, its ability to work with Sony's eye-tracking makes this the better lens overall. Its on the pricier side but if you know your use for it (e.g. sports, events, etc.) its something that you need to have so that you never miss the shot when you need it most. It's worth saving up for and as I write this review, it looks like its price and value hasn't changed much since its first release, so its definitely 'worth the shot'. Enjoy!

This lens is very versatile, even though I would have liked the second generation, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I recommend it for all kinds of events. I really like the 2.8

Very nice quality, but is heavy. Price should be lower.

Fantastic build quality, images are super sharp and fast focus. The only gripe I would have is its a bit heavy but other than that I am happy with it.

Perfect lens. Did a photography session and this was one of the best purchase ever.

I did a lot of research on this lens before I made the purchase. It was definitely an expensive lens, and luckily I had quite a few rewards dollars to use, but even if I didn't, I feel like this lens would have been worth every penny. I shot my first high school football game last week, and the pictures were absolutely phenomenal. Paired up with the Sony A7iii, I couldn't believe how quick the pictures took and how crisp and clear they turned out. I was deciding between this and the 700-200mm f/4, and I am very glad I paid a little extra for this lens. Love it and would definitely recommend it if you can look past the price!

Money maker right here and a dream creator.. best lens I have

My favorite lens to shoot with its I love the compression and the clarity its a very sharp lens not to heavy and great build quality

So far I love this lense. It is very easy to use. The only con I find is that it is a bit heavy.

anyone who is in the market for this lens knows what to expect. this thing is a beast at 3lbs, but when you get home and start sorting through your captures you just can't wait to get back out and shoot again.
