Sony 70-200 F2.8 GM II Hands On Review | Lighter Better Faster Stronger 

This lens looks so good, definitely something I’m considering buying! Love seeing your experience with it! 💯✔️🔥

All of the photos and footage in this video look phenomenal. Great work, Dan! I saw the closeup of the Lamborghini logo on your IG and was immediately impressed by the mfd of this thing. Can’t wait to see what the new Tamron can do. And I hope Sony upgrades some of their much older lenses soon as well. Thanks for sharing this!

Fantastic lens!!!

The weight alone. Is a big winner.

hello, and what about 70-200 GM2 vs 70-200 G2 macro in terms of sharpness, contrast, af speed? For stills

I'll for sure be upgrading my 70-200 F4 to this lens. Does the 2x teleconverter work with this lens ?

Regarding sport shooting combined with a7iv, would you recommand this Lens over tamron 35 150 f2 2.8 ?

How good is the sharpness of this lense @ 2.8 compared to the 135mm 1.8? Did you happen to compare it a little bit or maybe have some overal impressions on that?

Seems like a great lens. when I heard how much lighter it was. I was hoping that meant it was also smaller. I wish the Tamron 70/180 f2.8 was a 70/200 f2.8. or even 210, because its size and weight along with the price is a great option for people who don't want to spend $2800. especially if you aren't using it for fast moving sports that much. and mostly for portraits, I would like to see more images from the new Sony that show the background blur at 200mm. and also a comparison with the new Nikon which weighs allot more. and the New Canon which isn't an internal zoom. but is a cool size when not extended. when you point a 70/200 lens at someone they instantly get intimidated buy its size. one time when I visited relatives that I hadn't seen in years, everyone was taking pictures with cell phones inside the house. but I wanted some quality images, but when I pulled out my camera with the 70/200 everyone was shying away from it. like the cell phone shots were no problem but the big lens was a problem for some reason. it wasn't until I was outside with more room that people warmed up to the big lens. I am finding it really amusing how after all the talk about Nikon and Canon's bigger lens mounts. and how Sony's is smaller, neither company has really proven yet that their bigger lens mount has given them a image quality advantage. or given them the ability to make smaller glass. most of there glass is all bigger and heavier than Sony's. without having a quality advantage. just look at the 50 f1.2 lenses for example. the Nikon and Canon is like twice the size and weight of the Sony. and Sony still has a huge advantage with lens choices at different price ranges.

Can u also suggest the best value for money camera available for Wedding Photography? Currently i am using Nikon z6

Hi Dan, if I am using A7r4 with Sony 55mm 1.8 and Tamron 70-180 2.8 for mainly street and portrait, what is the better choice and value to upgrade for new 50mm 1.2 GM first or this new 70-200 2.8 GM first ? Cool car video 👍

Thanks 😊 Love the reviews!

What did you mean at 5:52 to 6:08 ?

Hello Dan, did you notice internal movement when handling the lens? I got a copy of the mark 2, and there is something loose inside that does not feel right.

I just got this lens and notice a slight continuous noise, almost like the sound of a tiny motor or fan running, whenever it is attached to my A1 and powered up. Is this normal? Do you hear it coming from your lens as well?

Is a 70-200 f/4 II coming too?

Welcome back sir 😊

Hi Dan Great video

Hey Dan -- that shirt you're wearing, where can I pick up a couple of those!?

8:35 - the resolution is so good you can see he's missing a lug nut. WTF?

An Amazing Content... LOVE From PAKISTAN 🇵🇰♥️

08:28 your Ferrari is missing a wheel bolt 😳

Hey Dan what are those lights in your background?

It doesn’t have the same optical performance when used with teleconverters

👍

The Sony is only lighter with the tripod collars on. With the collars off, the Canon is actually lighter. The spin machine from Sony is pretty amazing, but the reality is there is basically no real weight difference.

Costlier

What Sony does not tell you:... the Canon @ 200mm is more zoom compared to the Sony @ 200mm 70-197mm Sony lens.
