Pros: High optical quality, cheaper than its cannon or nikkon rivals.
Cons: Very fragile.
Opinion: I bought this lens one year ago. Takes quite impressive pictures. However one day the lens broke into two parts right in my hands, without any
physical force. Made a quick research on the net and found out similar cases. They used fragile plastic parts inside the lens and it breaks into two right behind the focus ring. Probably cannot carry its own weight. So beware.

Cons:stabilization not as effective as stated but not bad either, we are on the order of 2 stops
Opinion:We hear good and bad things about this perspective. As for my specimen, it is sharp and the autofocus is very fast even in the most sporty situations. (children's matches, nothing like that, rugby and skating). Tested alongside the 70-180 tamron, the autofocus is superior. It seems well built to me and is not too heavy
Opinion:Used for about 1 year and a half on A7rII, I would not buy it again, it was the only Telephoto lens to disappoint me as a general rendering, I owned Canon's white on 6D and 5DsR (70-200 F4 L IS USM) and the 70-200 F4 G ED VR on Nikon D810, the Sony? the worst of all, sharpness just acceptable to TA, improved a bit at f5.6 and f8, aberrations evident in many shots, general flat rendering, in my greater range of use (70-100mm) the loss of sharpness at the edges was very evident at TA, really a shame because taking it in hand I perceived an excellent build quality, exceptional autofocus, stabilizer ditto! and despite everything also the weight quite normal, not using the longer focal lengths 135-200mm has just been replaced with the 24-105 F4 G.
Cons:Loss of sharpness at the edges, at least my specimen.
Opinion:All in all a good zoom even if with the focal one is better, like the "white" Canon L series that has a much higher sharpness. Like all Sony very expensive and frankly I can understand an f 2.8 but not an f 4. Now I don't have it anymore, I hope Sony will produce a more performing one because it is a focal length that a landscaper cannot do without.
Opinion:I used it on the A7R3 and was disappointed overall. The AF is undoubtedly excellent, one of the best ever tried and the construction is of a very good standard. However, mechanical qualities are being put into the background by optical gaps. The sharpness on the 42mp sensors is definitely insufficient at TA and only improves by closing by a stop or 2. There are also important chromatic abberrations even in light situations that are not so critical. The cost is important and genuinely inadequate for optical performance. I was much more counting than the 70-200 F4 L IS USM of the canon used with adapter. Finally, I would say that I resold the optics after just over a month, the only time it happened to me.
