In the shop I got a chance to play with it using a a350 alpha body from the display case. It was very well balanced on the a350. At home I mounted it on my a700 and it felt as good as the a350 balancing wise.
Pros:
- Solid build quality
- Professional look
- Amazing colors
- great sharpness
- I love to keep zooming in to the full size photos and it's still very sharp
- f/2.8
- Perfect focal lengths
- quiet
- fast
- and accurate AF
- Sony/Konica Minolta

Extraordinary Lens
I had to wait quite awhile for this lens. It was worth it. I am a recent convert to a Sony a7 r ii from Nikon. The transition is proving daunting but this lens makes it all worth while. And special thanks to Abt for being the only place able to obtain it!

In Love
I am in love with this lens! I actually use it more than I thought I would. I keep a 24/70 GM and the awesome 85 GM in my kit. The 85 GM stayed in my case at my last portrait shoot. That's impressive. This is in no way a replacement for the Sony 85 GM.

Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS
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 its entire aperture and zoom range, also...

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G is without doubt an excellent lens. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's based on a 7-year old Minolta design - it's at least a match for the more recent third party options from Tamron and Sigma, and only just outperformed by Nikon's very latest (and pricey) 70-200mm F2.8...
Pros:
- Excellent image quality on full frame
- very good on APS-C
- Superb build quality
- Fast
- silent autofocus with manual override
- Well-placed AF stop buttons
Cons:
- A bit soft wide open at the telephoto end on APS-C
- No dust or moisture sealing (which we'd expect in a 'Pro' level lens
- Slightly suspect image quality at closest focus (very soft indeed at F2.8
- Extremely expensive compared to third party alternatives

Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G review
Sony's 70-200mm F2.8 G may be based on a 2003 Minolta design, but it's still the best fast telezoom available for Alpha mount users. However it's very pricey in comparison to the Sigma and Tamron alternatives, which are almost as good.
Pros:
- Professionals and advanced amateurs looking for high optical performance from a telephoto zoom
Cons:
- Applications which favor portability and convenience over all-out image quality

Great Lens
I was tossing up between this lens and the Sigma and Tamron lenses. This is definitely the more expensive of the three but its quality is beyond compare. Sharp images and quick, accurate focusing.
