I bought one to add to my travel kit and I’m using it on my compact C bodies like the A7CR and A7CII. I’ve always owned a f/2.8 70-200 and have the GM II since it came out but size, weight, and versatility convinced me to get the f/4 G and I found a mint used copy to save some money. Also can leave my FE 90/2.8 G MACRO at home now so it really lightens my load when low light is not a must. Thank you for your video and take care.

Great review, I got mine 2 weeks ago & it very quickly became 1 of my fav lenses, due to it's size, weight & versatility.
-
Great video, Chris. I like the integration of storytelling into the video, i.e. your sister-in-law’s marathon shots. You deserve more subscribers!
-
I bought this lens. It doesn’t take the most stunning images but it’s really good. It’s light and focuses so close for 70-200.

One of the better reviews of this lens ... subscribed!

You're totally right, Chris! Got it a few weeks ago and it kicks a$$... Love the versatility! 👌
-
Love the look of this thing. Excited to see if it becomes more popular than it has in the past.
-
A classic clean, sharp, Sony news-footage-worthy, editorial gathering lens that, as long as you have your exposure correct, tells it like it is with no "character coloring": very important in news gathering. Any of the footage you got here could have been shown on any evening news channel. I admit, I might not have considered it before your review. Well done. PS: Keep plugging; I knew your channel would grow!
-
You would love the first version even more. Especially that internal zoom. Such a shame Sony didn't implement it on this lens.
-
I am thinking of going for the 70-200mm f2.8 GMII is there a huge difference or is the extra 1/3rd of an F Stop of light worth it?

Nice video man
-
i love mine ;) paired with a6700

Pros choose rather brighter lenses and that's nothing weird because they make a living from photography. But the f/4 like this one should be good enough for most shooters 👌If it's too expensive there are still great third party alternatives.
