We've established that this lens, like the several lenses we tested from its GM family, has all the makings of what makes a fantastic, must-buy lens. And it is... a fantastic, must-buy lens, that is, but only if you absolutely need to feel that gap in your arsenal.
There's no denying the Sony FE 70-200 mm F2.8 GM OSS is both a beauty and a beast -- a beauty because of its sleek and beautiful black on white design; a beast because of its size and weight.
Not bad, precisely..; more like a disadvantage; The FE 70-200 mm F2.8 GM OSS is heavy in weight and large in size, larger even with the hood and when mounted to a mirrorless body or a not-so-hefty tripod; Admittedly, it's no larger or heavier than other similar telephoto zooms.
