Second the recommendation for Tamron. I have their 70-200 f/2.8 with stabilization. It's amazing, especially for the price.

I shoot concerts with it on an A7ii. The lens is great. The camera body however is showing its age which is unfortunate, but I'll upgrade in a generation or two.

Oh, you are talking about older version for cameras with mirror. I'm talking about newer one designed from scratch for mirror less cameras. They are even better and getting really close to Sony lenses (even better than some like new 70-180 f/2.8 is cheaper and better than Sony 70-200 f/4).

I recently got started with photography (A7R M2) and the tamron 28-70 f/2.8 is my first zoom. Have a 28mm 2.8, 40mm 2.8, 85mm 2.8 but the tamron is the one that is almost always mounted (or the sony 28mm). It's truly amazing.
