Top of the line optical quality lens. Professional photography results.color,clarity and sharpness is excellent. Heavy,cumbersome, unbalanced, and a real chore to use.equal or better to any other 70-200 2.8 made by anyone.

This GM 70-200mm lens is a work of art. Pictures are sharp and the price is excellent. Just remember that this lens is a little on the heavy side.

Sony out-did themselves on this one. Expensive, but not unreasonably more than Canon's equivalent, and I'd argue, much much better. I'm a giant prime advocate, but this one is soooo good.

I use this lens mainly for sports (Skate, Moto, etc.) but it's also a great option for still-life and Portrait work. The quality is outstanding and the focus speed is incredible.

The only downside with these g master lenses is the price but honestly you get what you pay for. If you have the money and interest, this takes your interest in photography to the next level. Great lens

You do get what you pay for. It is a bit heavy so tripod use is best; however I hand hold it often. Works very well on my Sony a6000 crop frame sensor.

Hello BalazsO, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The SEL70200GM is a great lens. Your photos will definitely be great quality. Lens for that range will be heavy and yes a monopod definitely helps. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us at Sony's General Consumer Support: 239-245-6360.

Fantastically sharp and high performance lens with outstanding build quality, but that's expected from gmaster. I'm not a pro, but I like the overall reach and speed of these lens, very good for sport, wild life and people photos for me, I also using it a lot for landscape and cityscape photos to isolate some specific elements of the city or nature (one building, or tree in the part, etc.). Of course you are paying a lot, but you are getting high performance lens which will be with you for a long time.

Like another reviewer, I also own this lens and the Sony 24-70 GM. I would concur with them that this lens is a lot sharper than the 24-70 GM. I tend to shoot longer distances, so I find myself using this lens more than the 24-70 GM. I used this lens to take photos at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and I was impressed how well the lens could zoom and focus. In addition, the photos were very sharp. I also like taking photos of the moon and the birds and this lens works well for both. I am very happy with this lens.
