Sony SEL FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II E-Mount Lens

I absolutely love this lens, so light and easy to use and the build quality is amazing. But above all you get brilliant photos and that's what counts. 5 stars all the way

Applied for cashback on a few of my lens, no issues & was in my bank as they stated

A big expenditure but so worth it it has given me a whole new outlook on my photography. This lens is awesome as my grandson would say a big thankyou to the guys at sony

Bought this lens as I have moved up from a RX10IV. I like the fact that the zoom is internal so the length of the lens doesnt change when using, also the zoom range can be altered with 1/4 turn of the zoom ring.Focus is quick but I'm still playing with the focus areas to find the ones that suit me best.Lens is fairly heavy ( for me) in use for flying birds but overall I am very happy with the lens

Build quality on this Lenz is off the charts so happy with my purchase. An amazingly sharp lens very fast and just enjoy to shoot with.

This lens is unstoppable! My go to for sports and for wildlife. Would again!!

Although this lense feels substantial and well made, it is very light for a telephoto and is comfortable to handle. The aperture ring adds to the ease of use of this lens. Most important is the stunning quality of photos.

Early days yet and not had much opportunity to give it a good try out, but I am very pleased with it so far and according to the reviews it is one of sony!s finest lenses, so I've no reason to think otherwise.

I bought it as my first telephoto lens and it just covered all my need

I bought this FE 70200 f2.8 OSS GM lense for landscape photography. Works flawlessly easy to use and fast focusing. Distant objects very sharp and no aberration.

Having had the Mark 1, this was an absoluterevelation fo weight, sharpness and focus abilities and is permanently attached to an A1 in my bag. I tmade the mark 1 look really average and still impresses 2 years and 190,000 images later. Absolutely reliable and dependable, it is a real no brainer optic especially wide open.

Fabulous lens; crisp sharp right across the picture, great in low light, lovely bokeh and all within a really light lens package. One of my best lens purchases.

My best lens .... sharp and the blur is outstanding

I bought this a month ago and I am so happy about this product

I work within sports and fitness. This lens simply ticks all the boxes.

Excellent lens! Photos are so clear and crisp. The lens is lighter than the previous version.

I bought this lens together with my Alpha 7RV. What a fantastic lens. It delivers really high resolution, sharpness and as well as clean, smooth bokeh! So far, I am absolutely happy with my lens.

I'm happy with the lens! Takes good photo's. This lens will stay on your camera.

I bought this lens 2 weeks ago and all I have to say is WOW! It is quality glass, Sony really did knock this one out the park as it is both light but all photos are coming out ????.

I recently purchased a Sony camera lens, and I must say, I am extremely impressed. The image quality is outstanding, with sharp details and vibrant colors. The lens is also very versatile, allowing me to capture a wide range of subjects with ease. The build quality is top-notch, giving it a durable and professional feel. Overall, I highly recommend the Sony camera lens for anyone looking to elevate their photography game.

As a female photographer shooting women, I think it's a good lens. However, my post was moderated, and someone deemed my pictures inappropriate. Interestingly, Instagram had better moderation than Sony, as they did not find the images problematic. Nevertheless, this lens takes great pictures of women, whether showing less or more skin. I still keep my Canon 29-300 lens, which has been doing the job for the past 10 years.

P.S. My photos have been on the covers of big magazines, and I "apologize" to the Sony moderator for disagreeing that women in lingerie are inappropriate.

The quality of this lens is second to none. I challenge Nikon to improve their lens hoods to match the Sony standard. The speed of the auto focus is almost instant. I own the Sony alpha 1 and the Nikon z9 both great cameras but I am very happy with the Sony lenses.

Amazing lent ,photos from this lent are amazing , light way to curving around,

Added 1.4x and use it for wildlife, very good and clear

Exemplary sharpness and quick focusing good weight

Really the best of the best. Honestly if you have the budget, get this, will last and get the job done

Bought to accompany the A1 to shoot League football. Version 1 was fine but not quite as good at acquiring focus and sticking to the subject. This is a tough ask when players in their shirts are running against a backdrop of supporters, many wearing similar colours. The GMv2 is amazing at doing this and worth the upgrade. Super sharp, fast focussing, great colour rendition and lighter? what's not to like.

This has been attached to my A7RV since I got the lens. Picture is fantastic and auto focus is fast. Can point it into the sun and get no flare!

I bought this lens about 6 months ago to replace the mark 1 version.

First thing that hits you is how small and light it is vs the original version.

Second thing is just how sharp the lens is. Compared to any other lens I've used this is so crisp.

Hand holding it all day long is not an issue. Has all the usual buttons and options you expect on a GM lens.

If you have the mark 1- upgrade now!i

After purchasing this lens I was excited to try it out, once mounted on my camera (A7IV) I noticed straight away how light this lens was, the speed and accuracy of the focus is amazing, so quiet too and I absolutely love the aperture ring on the lens allowing you to choose aperture quickly, the focus and zoom rings are very smooth and the lens itself feels very well made.

I also like that the lens barrel doesn't extend thus keeping its nice size and dust resistance. Ive not used it for my usual subject yet, that being landscape photography but I have been trying it out with my 1 year old son and the portraits you get with this is superb, super sharp on the subject with beautiful bokeh. I attached an image which has come straight from camera to show how stunning this lens works.

I can image this is the perfect lens for a wedding or just portraiture in general, the macro side of it is also pretty impressive, you can get very close to a subject before the camera can't focus no more which is very helpful.

Overall lens comes nicely packaged, great design and functionality from such a great lens, only moan I would have about the lens is that the tripod mount could be just a slightly bit bigger making it feel a little safer when holding it in hand and for tripod mount plates but that it a very very small thing to moan about.

This Lens is a definite buy in my eyes and I'm glad I own this stunning piece of glass, I look forward to many years of taking photos with this lens

A nice light lens for carrying around all day with great features.

This lens is really sharp and has quick focus acquisition. The lighter weight of the lens compared to the mark i version is noticable and the internal zoom is much better than an extending type

My daughter started playing softball so I wanted good pictures, I was a Nikon guy, I was using a D810 with a 70-200 2.8 G zoom with TC-14 teleconverter, I got good pictures but the camera with the lens is so heavy and it looks huge and to transfer the pictures is a pain since the camera cannot connect with a phone, only with a computer with a UT-1 unit or just using the card. I saw another person using a mirrorless camera, light an compacted so I got an alpha 7R3 and I did a lot of reading and watched a lot of you tube videos and I choose the FE70-200 OSSII with a SEL 20 TC teleconverter, the camera with the lens is so much lighter, the images are better than Nikon because the lens has too many advanced features that you cannot find in Nikon lenses for now. The lens is super fast and clear, you can leave the f at 2.8 in the lens (if that's what you want) it has custom buttons that you can program (3), you have to see it to believe it! Also if you use jpeg you can transfer the pictures to your phone with there on the field! I took the picture that I posted from very far away, you cannot get on the field to take pictures....I've been asked to remove the picture?..

I've had a few 70-200mm zooms over the years, but this one has amazing clarity and so much lighter than many others.

When I entered the Sony ecosystem a few years ago I covered the medium tele focal range with the Tamron 70-180 because of its weight and compact nature. While the image quality was good, I had a number of issues with it. The AF was not as quick to acquire a subject as I'd like. I often missed a number of shot opportunities because of that. After using it in the field for a couple of years I also noticed a dust/particle building up inside the lens. I attributed that to the extending nature of the zoom.

The Sony 70-200gm ii not only addressed those for me, but established a new bar for what I can expect when using a zoom lens in my work (event/sports). I've been using this glass for about 7 months now and can tell you there is a night and day difference in af while using it on both my a9 and a7riii. Besides my 35gm, this may be the best af I've experienced in a lens/camera combo. Internal zoom as a feature should not be overlooked. This glass is sealed very well. I rarely worry about the environment I'm shooting in because of it. The biggest surprise was how light it is. While not as light as the Tamron, it is still very comfortable to work with even after hours of shooting.
On top of all of that, the image rendering is the best I've ever had with a zoom. It's near prime level sharp.

You always wonder if a first party lens is worth it because they're usually a pretty penny more than third party lenses. I've had 70-200s from Tamron and Sigma (the bigma 70-200), and this go around I decided to spend the extra for the Sony. The AF is faster, the hit rate is unbelievable, and the weight is nicely distributed for hand holding. Just do it.

Pretty good lens for an array of photography uses. From good to great in a bunch of applications. I think it would be a lot better if the focus, zoom, and aperture were a bit closer together in regards to shortening the overall lens length. Other than that, I can't really complain.

The lens is tack sharp. Good balance, easy off and on connection. I wish Sony had a 24-240 in this lens like the old FE lens but 2.8.

This lens is beyond remarkable. If this lens is not in your bag it should be.

So glad I bought this lens. Light enough to carry around all day without feeling too heavy on my A7rV.

A stunning addition to my collection of Sony lenses. Stays on the camera most often.

I've used this a few times now and the weight of this lens is just so light for the technology and so easy to carry around. If you can afford this lens then don't think twice about getting it. The switches are robust, the new aperture ring is strong and rigid to use but smooth to twist.

Not had thos lens for very long, yet it is becoming my go to lens, when I decide to go walk about, in the fields and woodlands... Paired with my Sony a7Rv, it still amazes me, that I can be so far away from say a large bird in flight of building in the distance, yet on viewing at 100%, there is no much detail... Get up close however and this lens really shines.. Would I recommend this lens, 100% I would.. Well done Sony

I have been wanting the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM for quite some time and have been researching the difference between original lens and the OSS II to try and gauge if the price difference could be justified.

I haven't got the original one, but do have the 100-400 GM and 200-600 G and I am very impressed with those lens, so I do have experience with the GM/G range.

The reviews for the original 70-200 GM are very good... but when comparing the physical differences (weight, switches, aperture ring) and my research on the OSS II version, swayed me to opt for the more expensive OSS II lens - overall decision was based on weight, aperture ring on lens and the DMF switch on the lens.

In summary... absolutely love the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II ... is it worth the extra money - not sure I can answer that until I try the original one - but ask me if I am happy with the lens, then apart from the price tag, the lens is absolutely brilliantly bonkers ... it is so light, fast AF and the picture quality is as you would hope for from such an expensive lens...AWESOME, and the bokeh is just so soft and velvety.

My 2 favourite features (apart from the weight), is the aperture dial ON the lens and the 'Full Time DMF' on/off switch.

This is now staying on one of my cameras as my walkabout camera/lens.

Would I recommend it ... absolutely yes.

I thought the Mk1 was good until I got the Mk2! Noticeably lighter in use, fab quality, I seldom use anything else. I use it for fast action sports, 50% of the time in low light so the wide aperture is very handy. With the Sony A7Riv & v I can get the reach by cropping and if I need to get closer for posed shots I just step back a bit to get it all in. I haven't needed to traipse around with other lenses or bodies for a long time - very happy :)

I bought this lens about a month ago for HS sports photography and video. Ive paired it with the A7RIII and A7III, respectively. The lens is very responsive to high speed action. Both photos and video are very sharp. I'm so glad I bought it.

very light, fast auto focus, super sharp!! Excellent!

In spite of some poor reviews I thought that the Mk 1 version of this lens was pretty good but the Mk 2 version is in a different league and one the best lenses that I have ever used. While still no lightweight it is significantly lighter than the Mk 1 lens and the already impressive AF is now blazingly fast. Image quality is also now improved most noticeably in the corners. A remarkable piece of engineering and probably the best 70-200 available on this planet.

I purchased this lens recently and have been very impressed. The large sensor on my A7R4 is unforgiving and this lens brings out the true potential in the camera. Focussing is great and the images are sharp and clear. A great lens!

Been reel happy with this lens. It is so sharp....
