The Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II is a compact and lightweight lens with stunning image quality and ridiculously fast autofocus. The lens is sharp throughout the entire zoom range, with images being razor sharp at F4 in the middle and excellent in the corners. It also has excellent bokeh and minimal longitudinal chromatic aberration. The lens features a life-size maximum magnification, allowing for great macro shots. Although it has some minor issues with vignetting and distortion, these are generally corrected by modern cameras. The build quality of the lens is top-notch, and it is well-featured, making it the best-built and featured zoom lens the reviewer has ever handled. The lens is also weather-sealed, allowing for shooting in wet or dusty environments. The only downside might be its price, but the quality of this new lens is undeniably excellent.

The quality of this new lens is undeniably excellent, so I'm willing put its price aside and say it is still highly recommended.
