The Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II (SEL70200GM2) takes first place in this guide at £1,825.00. It is a full-frame constant-aperture telephoto zoom for Sony E-mount bodies, carrying 277 ratings at 4.8 out of 5 on the listing. The ad calls it the world's lightest 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom and gives the weight as 2.3 lb (1045 g), which it says is approximately 29% lighter than the previous version.

That "previous version" is the point worth pausing on, because the older Sony G Master in this guide is listed at £1,939.00 — £114.00 more than the newer lens that replaced it. The numbers inside this listing do not all line up either: the rating block claims 277 ratings, while the breakdown shown adds up to 100 (94 five-star, 3 four-star, 1 three-star and 3 one-star). The specification table also gives a "Fixed Focal Length" of 200 Millimetres next to a zoom design with a 70 mm minimum and a 200 mm maximum, and lists a Viewfinder Type of LCD screen for a lens. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test we have run.
