Sharpness at 70mm

For this test, the Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II lens was attached to a Sony Alpha A7R IV body, which was in turn mounted to a sturdy tripod. Exposure delay mode was activated. Tonal and colour variance across the crops are due to change in natural light during the session.

The full frame at 70mm

Center sharpness is outstanding between f/2.8 and f/11. At f/16 sharpness drops off a little due to diffraction.

Edge sharpness is almost as good as in the centre, with the sharpest results between f/4 and f/11.
