The 70-200mm f/2.8 lens is very popular, thanks to its speed and versatility, but is the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G worth spending your money on? The Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G is available only for Sony DSLRs.
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...
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
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
The price tag reflects the build quality and performance of Sony's fast 70-200mm f/2.8 G lens. Compatible with APS-C format and 35mm sized sensor cameras, it covers a focal length range of 105-300mm with the former.
THE TEST SCORES SLR.GEAR ARE TRUE!! This lens is a good 70-200mm IS works well down to 1/200th at 200mm. The lens is just as sharp as the 70-400mm between 70-400mm at f/4-f/8, but not sharper. IF you use a TC 1.4x the 70-400mm will blow this out of the water!!
Bright superb color rendering
Focus speed is just ok ; Not as sharp as price indicates
