Versatile 70-200 mm telephoto/macro zoom lens. With a particularly compact telephoto zoom range of 70-200 mm, even distant subjects can be captured with outstanding sharpness and high contrast. The FE 70-200 mm F4 Macro G OSS II is ideal for both videos and photos. The maximum constant aperture of F4 enhances the bokeh characteristics during zooming and video recording. This lens features a modern optical design that ensures excellent image quality across all focal lengths.
Experience excellent sharpness and bokeh with this lens. The state-of-the-art optics provide impressive sharpness, clarity, color, and contrast, while the exceptionally smooth full-frame bokeh is enhanced by a 9-blade circular aperture mechanism and carefully optimized spherical aberration. The balanced mix of resolution and bokeh contributes to images with spatial depth.
The minimum focusing distance is 0.26 m in wide-angle and 0.42 m in telephoto, with a maximum magnification of 0.5x, offering unparalleled handling and flexibility for photo and video shooting. Fast, precise, and quiet autofocus is achieved through four of Sony's high-performance XD linear motors, developed with a floating focus group for extreme speed. The shift efficiency has been significantly improved, making autofocus speed about 20% faster across the entire zoom range when shooting. Focusing remains active even while zooming, ensuring no important moment is missed.
Designed for better videos, many features of this lens are tailored for demanding film shoots. When manual focus is activated, linear response is reduced to enhance control. Advanced lens technology minimizes focus breathing and avoids focus and axis shifts during zooming.

Sony mirrorless, 43 MP, KB: With the 4/70-200 mm G OSS II, Sony renews a central lens of its G-Master series for 2000 Euros. With all three tested focal lengths we measured a good 2300 LP for the centre of the image at F4 and also good to very good contrast values. At the same time, the edge fall-off is consistently low to minimal...
