Evolved G Master F2.8 telephoto zoom
The full force of Sony s latest lens technology brings stunning resolution and exquisite bokeh together in the world s lightest 1 large-aperture G Master telephoto zoom lens. With significantly evolved AF performance, the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II can deliver the full potential of today s advanced still and movie camera bodies.
Unprecedented image quality
Unprecedented image quality Image quality is superb throughout the zoom range at all focusing distances. Two aspherical elements, one XA (extreme aspherical) type, ensure high resolution throughout the image area. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements, and one ED aspherical element minimize chromatic aberration, while Sony s Nano AR Coating II subdues flare and ghosting. High-performance 1.4x and 2x teleconverters 2 are available.
Exquisite G Master bokeh
Exquisite G Master bokeh Beautiful G Master bokeh is achieved through advanced optical design, an F2.8 aperture, and a new 11-blade aperture unit. An XA element manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision suppresses onion ring bokeh, and the new aperture unit helps to deliver natural circular bokeh. Close-up bokeh is superb too, with a minimum focusing distance of just 0.4 meters (1.32 ft) at 70mm and 0.82 meters (2.69 ft) at 200mm.
Fast, precise AF supports creative shooting
Fast, precise AF supports creative shooting Four of Sony s original XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, two for each of the lens s focus groups, deliver high thrust e!ciency that boosts AF speed by up to 4x compared to the previous model 2 for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking for stills and movies. AF tracking while zooming is improved by approx. 30% 2 which greatly increase chances of getting the shot even with subjects moving rapidly towards the lens.
The lightest 1 in its class
The lightest 1 in its class This lens offers outstanding optical quality and autofocus in the world s lightest 1 F2.8 70-200mm zoom. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 2.3 lb. (1045 grams)
Professional control and reliability
Professional control and reliability Flexible focus control is provided by features such as Full-time DMF (Direct Manual Focus), Linear Response MF, and a focus-range limiter. An aperture ring with switchable clicks and an iris lock provides extra exposure control. MODE 1, 2, and 3 optical image stabilization 3 ensure sharp images in different shooting conditions and a dust and moisture resistant design 4 plus fluorine-coated front element maximize reliability in tough environments.
