92 out of 100 medium confidence 21 reviews

The Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II lens receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its sharpness, fast autofocus, and excellent low-light performance.

A few Q&A entries note that internal stabilizer movement when powered off is normal, not a defect.
