Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS

The Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS is a true pro-grade zoom lens for Sony mirrorless cameras, with performance that lives up to its asking price.

Bright f/2.8 design. Impeccable sharpness. Sturdy, weather-sealed construction. Rotating tripod collar. Removable tripod foot. Image stabilization. Internal zoom. Teleconverter compatibility.

Expensive. Shows some distortion.

The Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS is a fine example of what a telezoom lens can be. It's built tough for everyday, professional use, and is extremely sharp, even when working at its maximum aperture. Add teleconverter compatibility, in-lens...

Sony FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II Lens Review

Like its predecessor, the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II lens fills an important niche in the Sony line-up, covering the super useful 70-200mm telephoto zoom range with a constant f/4 max aperture available.

Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter Review

Buying a teleconverter over a longer lens for financial reasons can make sense, especially as the very long focal length lenses are considerably more expensive than teleconverters. Using teleconverters to save space (vs. carrying a second, larger lens)...

Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS Review

The Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS is an oustanding telephoto zoom lens for Sony's full-frame compact system cameras, although there's a high price to pay for such quality. It delivers outstanding sharpness in the centre of the frame almost throughout...

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS review

Fast and capable, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS is a feature-rich telephoto zoom

High-end handling characteristics ; Excellent build quality ; Good image quality overall

Only 2-stop optical stabilization ; Autofocus not the fastest in class ; Corner-sharpness is pretty average

Typical of Sony’s G Master line-up of lenses, this one combines good sharpness with lusciously soft bokeh, which remains of great beauty when stopping down a little, aided by a particularly well-rounded 11-blade diaphragm. A high-tech autofocus system,...

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master OSS Review

John Riley reviews the premium Sony telephoto zoom lens, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master with Optical Steady Shot, for Sony Alpha E mount cameras.

The Sony G Master FE 70-200mm f/2.8 OSS is without doubt a very fine lens. It operates smoothly, is well made, uses the latest technology to achieve outstanding sharpness evenly across the frame. However, it is not without flaws, particularly a slight...

Light, versatile, accurate and extremely fast auto

Purchased last month and has been my main camera lens so far and I am very pleased with the results. Though rated at F4 the Sony A7Rii that I am using it with far outweighs this. I am looking forward to Sony releasing a 2,8 which I am sure, when...
