Marc from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new 70-200mm GMII lens and concluded:
The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II (3000 Our) is establishing new standards for Sony zoom. It is largely better in almost all aspects compared to the Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM (2800 euros), the Tamron 35-150mm F2-F2.8 Di III VXD (1800 euros) and the Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 Di III VXD (1200 euros)
In Summary
- Excellent to Outstanding sharpness
- Super light and extremely well balanced on Sony bodies (centre of gravity near the body)
- Constant length design
- Extremely complete ergonomics : Aperture ring (click or clickless) , Full time DMF, focus limiter, panning mode….
- Super fast , precise and silent AF with a hitrate close to 100% and unleashing the full 30fps of the Sony A1
- Super smooth background blur and very good bokeh balls
- Excellent color rendition
- Excellent behavior in video
- Very good behavior with TC : minor loss of sharpness on TC1.4 and moderate on TC2.0, same AF
