What about using this lens on a Sony Alpha a7II, which already has has built-in image stabilization?And Amazon's description calls this lens 'wide'!

Should work beautifully with a7II. I don't have that camera, wish I did. I use it on a6000 but it is designed for the full frame Sonys

Hi Visionist, when using it with the A7II, the built in SteadyShot of the camera body will be in effect. This is a telephoto zoom lens. Thanks_Mitch

Thanks. Pentax like Sony has in-cmaera stabilization. the lens is available for Pentax, so I wonder about stabilization problems.

I use this lens with a Sony Alpha A77 camera, but I have a good friend that uses this lens with a Nikon DX and the autofocus works fine.

sorry, did not see this until now. Hope you bought the lens - awesome. It has image stabilization 3 choices off and 2 on's. one for vertical and one for horizontal movement. Here are some butterflies I photo'd with it. www.patricialamphotography.com/flowers/flowers (yes twice on flowers) first 3 photos. very sharp. Wish my Canon 85 mm f1.4 and 24-70 f2.8 had image stabilization. Sorry for the delay

No, it is a dt lens which means it is for crop sensors. The a7 is a full frame. On top of that the the a7 uses the e-mount and this is an a-mount meaning it would also require an adapter to work properly.

It will work with both the a7 and 7r, but only in cropped mode. This means the image will not be the full size of images taken with FE lenses like the 35mm and 55mm. I planned to get the NEX7 successor, but ended up getting the a7r. There are no wide angle lenses for the a7/a7r cameras, but I want to get the FE lenses for my new camera. The lens is brand new, and has only been taken out of the box one time.

The lens would require a T-mount to fit on your camera. The Sony Alpha t-mount sells for $12.95 at Amazon listing #B0088ZWHI2.

Hi, your Sony Alpha A77ii is an A-mouth body type camera in which it is compatible with any Sony A-mouth lens such as SAL-70400G2. It will work perfectly. -Ely

Hi AK, if your Sony Alpha SLT-A57M uses the 18-135 mm lens, this one has a filter diameter of 62 mm. It is also mention on your filter about the size ( B+W 62mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating 010M). This Front Lens Cap ALCF55S is 55mm which means that it will not fit in. -Ely

You will need an adapter if you want to use this lens on the A7II. This lens is for A mounts (e.g., A77) while the A7II has an E mount. If you don't want to buy an adapter, just buy the Sony 70-200 FE OSS lens. It's much cheaper. Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS Interchangeable Lens for Sony Alpha Cameras

No, the Sony Alpha cameras have image stabilization as an option in the camera body. This means less weight in the lens and should make it cheaper.

Hi, this Sony lens SEL70200G is an E-mount type of lens whereas the Sony Alpha A7 is an E-mount type camera body. You do not need an adapter for using the lens to the A7 camera. -Ely

Yes, but "Option" is a good word for it. To give the same answer as others (just in more detail) the electronics and software in the camera is designed to power and control compatible image stabilized lenses such as Sony's FE lenses, however the actual image stabilizer motor and its supporting circuitry & optomechanical components are built in to the compatible I.S. lenses, those parts are not in the camera body. So to be clear, the camera's I.S. "option" only works when a I.S. lens (one with built in I.S.) is mounted on the camera. Aside from Sony's full frame FE model lenses, Sony offers an adapter that allows their A models to work with the A7. Also many Canon EF lenses (including I.S. models) are fully compatible when used with a new generation "Metabones" Canon EF to Sony E adapter. Canon EF-S lenses (APS-C sized) also work vwell on the A7 via the Metabones adapter, but the view might be partially cropped in some cases (which sometimes doesn't matter) depending on the focal length and/or zoom setting. Sony E model lenses (also APS-C sized) are also fully compatible, with no adapter required, but they will be even more likely to partially crop view, but again thats not always bad (depends on your imaging application).

Sorry, I shoot Canon gear. I Don't know a thing about Sony or Alpha mounts. It's a great lens though.
