About this item
- The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS delivers superb Image quality throughout the zoom range at all focusing distances with two aspherical elements and one XA (extreme aspherical) element to ensure high resolution throughout the image area. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and one ED aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberration while Sony’s Nano AR (anti-reflective) Coating II subdues flare and ghosting. For additional reach, high-performance 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are available (sold separately)..Angle of View (APS-C) : 23゚- 8゚6, Maximum Magnification ratio (x) : 0.3
- Four of Sony’s original XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors deliver high thrust efficiency that boosts AF speed by up to 4x compared to the previous model for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking for stills and movies. AF tracking while zooming is improved by approx. 30% which greatly increase chances of getting the shot even with subjects moving rapidly towards the lens.
- Designed with movie magic in mind and the latest lens technology to reduce focus breathing, focus shift when zooming and axis shift when zooming. The XD Linear Motors and a new aperture drive unit contribute to quiet operation and independent control rings for focus, zoom and iris, with a click on/off switch for the aperture ring, make this lens ideal for movie shooting. Sony’s Linear Response MF feature ensures responsive and repeatable direct manual focus control.
- This lens offers outstanding optical quality and autofocus in the world’s lightest* 70-200mm F2.8 zoom lens. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 2.3 lb. (1045 grams); approx. 29% lighter than the previous model. Advanced design improves balance, while a constant barrel length further contributes to easy, agile handling.

From the manufacturer
Unprecedented image quality
The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II delivers superb Image quality throughout the zoom range with two aspherical elements and one XA element. Two ED glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and one ED aspherical element minimize chromatic aberration. The Nano AR Coating II subdues flare and ghosting.
Exquisite G Master bokeh
Beautiful G Master bokeh is achieved through advanced optical design, an F2.8 aperture, and a new 11-blade circular aperture unit. An XA element manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision suppresses onion ring bokeh and the new aperture unit helps to deliver natural circular bokeh.
Fast, precise AF supports creative shooting
Four of Sony’s original XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, two for each of the lens’s focus groups, deliver high thrust efficiency that boosts AF speed by up to 4x compared to the previous model for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking for stills and movies.
Professional movie capability
Designed with movie magic in mind and the latest lens technology to reduce focus breathing, focus shift when zooming and axis shift when zooming. Independent control rings for focus, zoom and iris, with a click on/off switch for the aperture ring, make this lens ideal for movie shooting.
The lightest* in its class
Outstanding optical quality and autofocus in the world’s lightest* 70-200mm F2.8 zoom lens. Magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 2.3 lbs. *As of the October 2021 product announcement, compared to full-frame F2.8 70-200mm telephoto zoom lenses that support autofocus.
Professional control and reliability
Flexible focus control with features such as Full-time DMF, Linear Response MF, and a focus-range limiter. An aperture ring with switchable clicks and an iris lock provides extra exposure control. MODE 1, 2, and 3 optical image stabilization ensure sharp images in different shooting conditions.

Up to this point I had resisted buying this lens because of the price. Finally after exhausting virtually all other cheaper possibilities I spent the money!
I am happy to report it was the best money I have ever spent! This lens is beyond good it is insanely good and the best lens I have ever used in nearly every category. I went from an estimated 30% keeper rate with most other lenses to a 95% keeper rate with this lens! The auto focus accuracy, sharpness, and picture quality are off the charts and my customers have been astounded by the quality!
I cannot say enough about this lens coupled with the A7R IVA. It is mind blowingly good both for portrait and sports coverage and produces spectacular results with the right body!
I should mention it destroys the cheaper shorter range 70-180mm from a competing manufacturer.
Also be careful listening to biased influencers that profit financially or from receiving early access to new products. They may claim "the video is not sponsored" but receiving early (often pre-production) access to hot new products can also benefit them in terms of video views. What do you think happens to the early access a manufacturer gives them if their last product review was negative?
Bottom line is I do not write many glowing reviews but after spending a few weeks doing shoots with this lens I could not be happier!
Pros
- The image quality is excellent and paired with the A7RIII, I was able to get some really great shots
- The build quality seems very sturdy, and my copy of the lens seems to be very good (which may speak to quality control by Sony)
- The zoom ring is quite firm, which keeps the lens from creeping.
- Nice to have the zoom lock feature when you need it
- Nice and sharp wide open, and throughout the zoom range (You can see a difference wide open at the end of the zoom range, but the photos are still very good)
- After shooting a little with this lens, and taking about 100 pictures, very few of them had any chromatic aberration. In post, I only needed to correct for this in a few photos.
Cons
- The size and weight are quite significant, and pretty much take away any size advantage that the mirror-less A7RIII might have had over another DSLR
- The focus is by wire, so you don't get the same smooth focus-ring feel.
- While the A7RIII has IBIS, I would really like to see image stabilization here for the cost and size
- Speaking of price... $$$
Conclusion
If you are looking for a pro lens, and don't mind carrying it around, then this lens is great. Extremely sharp for a zoom and correcting any chromatic aberration, or lens distortion was easily handled in Lightroom. If you are looking to get a standard zoom for your Sony mirror-less, this is a great option.

Added comments March 11, 2021 - It has been 6 months with this lens. I have found more issues with it. Purple fringing is quite obvious and it cannot be corrected. It often happens when there is a big light contrast. But it could happen in the evening low light and the entire frame is clouded with purple. They cannot be corrected. After all, it is not a bad lens and is one of the most balanced high quality original. If I have to compare it (unfairly) against my Summilux 35mm, LOL - I would want to just throw this one in the bag.
I bought this lens to match my new A7R4. It is a perfect match and the most versatile. On the heavy side. But it feels very substantial and solid made. It covers city and landscape shooting, and meets 90% of the needs. If I bring just one lens on my camera and take a drive around town or nearby cities, it is this lens. If I have the appetite to carry more lenses, there will be lots of choices but they all come after this lens! Sigma 24-70? A good replacement, mostly for its price! Nothing can beat this 24-70 f/2.8 G Master!
