Product Description
Compact high-resolution telephoto zoom
Our most advanced lens technology comes together in a compact, lightweight
70-200 mm F4 telephoto zoom G Lens that delivers outstanding optical and AF
performance as well as half-macro capability1 throughout the zoom range.
Impressive handling and mobility make it an excellent choice for a wide range of
still and movie applications.
Spectacular G Lens Rendering
Excellent corner-to-corner resolution and contrast throughout the zoom range
are achieved by combining AA (advanced aspherical) and aspherical lens elements.
Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and one Super ED element suppress
chromatic aberration and color bleeding for revealing sharpness. Exquisite
full-frame bokeh is enhanced by a circular 9-blade aperture mechanism and
optimized spherical aberration.
Eye-Opening Close-Up Performance
This is the world's first zoom lens in its class to offer half-macro
capability1 throughout the zoom range. Minimum focusing distance is 10- 1/4 in.
(0.26 m) at the wide end and 16-1/2 in. (0.42 m) at the telephoto end of the
zoom range, with a maximum magnification of 0.5x throughout. New levels of zoom
close-up capability offer unprecedented versatility and freedom for shooting
stills as well as movies.
Fast Autofocus Matches High-Speed Cameras
Four of Sony's original high-thrust XD linear motors work in conjunction
with precision floating focus groups to achieve extremely fast, accurate focus
drive. Thrust efficiency has been dramatically improved, resulting in up to
approximately a 20% increase in autofocus speed throughout the entire zoom range
when shooting stills. The speed potential of high-performance α series cameras
is fully realized. Focus tracking continues uninterrupted even while zooming,
ensuring that important moments of the action won't be lost.
Refined Movie Performance and Imagery
Linear Response MF ensures that manual focus responds directly and linearly
to subtle control. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α
series cameras is fully supported, reducing unwanted image shifts while
focusing. Built-in optical image stabilization can work in conjunction with the
in-body stabilization in compatible α series cameras to provide extremely
smooth, stable handheld footage.
Top-Class Performance with Teleconverters
The FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II is fully compatible with Sony's 1.4x and
2.0x teleconverters. In addition to increasing maximum focal length, the 2.0x
teleconverter make it possible to shoot life-size 1:1 macro at all focal lengths
for new creative potential. Attached with the 1.4x teleconverter, it can shoot
max. 0.7x macro at all focal lengths. And because the working distance does not
change with the teleconverter attached, you can move in close to the subject to
capture truly impressive images.
Compact, Mobile, Reliable and Easy to Use
This innovative lens offers a rare blend of performance and compact
mobility. It is 3-1/4 in. (82.2 mm) in diameter by 5- 7/8 in. (149 mm) in length
at the wide end of the zoom range and weighs 28.1 oz. (794 g). An extending lens
design was chosen to maximize portability, and a zoom lock switch is provided to
prevent unwanted lens extension during transportation.
