What lens have you used the most this year? Let us know 👇

[lolliang]

The white color is great for marketing it makes these lenses stand out straight away and makes you wonder if one could possibly snatch it without getting in trouble

[anhngocquy]

Such beautiful lens and review darling. The photo samples is wonderful. Have a blessed week my dear 🥰

[LifetimeTravelmates]

Amazing that bokeh! 200mm is no joke!
Great investment indeed!

[agungsetiawan]

This is always my dream lens to own a 70-200!

[cceanna]

Always see this lens on your insta feed. The photo detail is incredible!

[lilmai]

Your photos are so pretty 😍😍 the 70-200 really makes the subject stand out

Thanks for the review Bro
im almost getting this Lens since the Mark 2 is a bit more price

[sarag]

If my budget could stretch that far I would buy this for sure.

[retrogamerz]

I could never imagine spending anywhere near this much for a lens, but I can absolutely see why you would. Awesome review bud and the photos are stunning!

[kejin]

can u make a video compare Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM with Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 for sony? thank u

[juliuslinus]

Excellent review. I remember watching some vids a few years back that this lens had focusing issues. Seems like you did not encounter any issues with that?

[cathycat]

I am saving for a tamron 70-180 instead. What are your thoughts on this lens? I just don't think I can handle the size and weight of this one but the image quality is epic!

[padiver]

I am going to buy my first full frame body. I am not working in photography but might try to do it in a year time. Should I buy the old version or the new version of the 70-200? Or you will say that the 100-400 f4 will be good enough since I am not making money yet from photography but the those it will be good for working with later?

Bet is super heavy! I think this is the one Lieles ones for when we go to Africa, so he can record everything without leaving the airport hahaha JK

I am truly loving your funny sketches during the videos. But seriously, it weighs as much as the gimbal you recently reviewed, no?

That is so cool, I had no idea the lens doesn't move in or out when zooming in/out.
Really nice quality even with low light too, and it doesn't seem like there is too much noise. Love that!
30% lighter def makes a difference, but 700 pounds more is a steep increase.

Fantastic review. A lens that needs no introduction!

[mihaelaclaudiap..]

Man that's huge!! I bet it's awesome! But I must travel light, I already have so much stuff with me with my camera, batteries, mobile chargers, cables, other lenses, drone etc. I wouldn't be able to carry that with me. Well I guess it's ore for photos as you said, not necessarily for vloggers like myself. That being said, I am very interested to find out more about lenses in general, how they work and which one is for what. I have 2 at the moment but only use 1 really. I need to watch more videos to see when I could use the 22 mm one I have. Great review as always guys!

[jonashylo]

How often do you use f2.8? I'm trying to figure out whether to save money and go for the f4.0 version

[JohnPaulSeeTravelFilms]
