92 out of 100 medium confidence 19 reviews
The Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II lens receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its sharpness, fast autofocus, and excellent build quality. Users highlight its performance in low light and video work, with many noting it as a significant upgrade. A few Q&A entries address concerns about internal movement when off, which is confirmed as normal stabilizer behavior.
