One of the best lenses for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic Lens! We took this to Japan in the fall and it created so many amazing shots for us. It is a bit heavy and it's BIG! If you're traveling with this, make sure to have some extra space in your bag. Carrying it all day got pretty tiring

Once a professional, always a professional
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a lot of potential… the glass is way better than other brands. Especially at 2.8 to help with the background blur to create that separation of focal point from the rest. I do recommend this type of lens for the beginner and pro… It does weigh 3 lbs… but when you’re up and moving around etc it’s not too bad. With that being said… if you have joint issues especially from being aged… this maybe very difficult to use. To give a person a good idea… grab a 5lbs weight ( about the camera plus lens)… carry that 5 lbs weight around and pretend it’s your camera setup… do that for about 10 minutes… if that’s too much for you… then probably this isn’t the lens for you. I would hate anyone to pay out this cash… just to leave the lens at home because it’s too heavy etc. My only true complaint at this time… slower than i expected to focus on subjects… keep in mind I was at an event and lighting was limited. So I basically blaming it on that and no so much of the equipment… but I did expect faster movement. Two thousand dollars for this lens… I bought it because the years of comments etc. 2.8 of this focal length is impressive. It does work super well in well lit areas. But areas of limited light it does “meet” my needs and pretty happy. I just can’t shell out another thousand for its upgraded brother. Overall this lens still has a lot of value and I recommend it… I can still guess in the year 2050… this lens will be still used and a favorite.

Love this lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for a solid telephoto lens then this is what you need. If you cover sports, racing, or events this is what you need. The focus is sharp and precise with very little focus breathing. Tack sharp lens. I used to have the canon versions and I am happy I made the switch after switching to Sony. Its a solid, heavy lens, constructed out of aluminum. The con would be price and size.

High quality Sony Zoom
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is awesome and WAY better than the A-mount 70-200mm lens. The sharpness is amazing and focusing is fast. I did find that the hunts for focus in low light, but all lenses have their own character and none are perfect for everything. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone.

Get it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this lens. Yes, it is heavy. Yes, the size makes your camera a little awkward. Yes, it is expensive. But, it is THE lens to get for your Sony e-mount system. It is the pinnacle of the GM lens line-up. Now, I need to save up for the 50mm GM!!! Buy the 70-200 f/2.8, you won’t be disappointed.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After owning the SEL2470GM, I set my eyes on this lens. This lens is sharp, fast focus, great manual controls on the lens, and the small lens tripod has come in handy a few times. Cons: A little on the heavy side, especially after holding the lens for a while. Would I recommend this lens? ... absolutely!

Quality build and and sharp details!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens is a true workhorse! It’s weight takes a bit of getting used to if you’ve only shot mirrorless but for those that crossed over from a DSLR it’s bearable. Sharp details won’t disappoint and fast focus can keep up with higher frame rates for sports. There’s cheaper lenses out there but they’re all lacking in some way like use of a teleconverter, cheaper build quality or falling short on focal length. If you’re a pro or working your way up this lens will not disappoint.
