Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM M2 Lens

The Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM M2 Lens is a medium telephoto zoom lens from Sony for the Sony FE mount, suited to landscape and portrait use. Filter size: 77mm Aperture range: f/2.8 Weight: 1045g

Key Features

• World’s lightest 200 mm large-aperture telephoto zoom lens
• Image resolution is exceptional through the full focal range
• Up to approximately 4 times faster AF, with focus tracking while zooming

Sony has announced the FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II lens, an extensive overhaul of one of the most popular lenses in the G Master lineup. The upgrade boasts completely reconfigured optics, faster and more accurate autofocus, and a laundry list of practical improvements for still and video shooters.

A favorite zoom of professional portrait, event, sports, and wildlife photographers, this bright, constant max-aperture lens works well for a wide variety of subjects.

New Level of F2.8 Telephoto Performance

Outstanding image sharpness and detail has been redefined with the second-generation FE 70-200mm F2.8 G Master lens. By deploying an XA (Extreme Aspherical) lens element and an aspherical lens element, image resolution is exceptional through the full focal range, from F2.8 through to F22 offering unparalleled imaging.

Additionally, supported by two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, two ED glass elements, and an ED Aspherical element, many common aberrations, such as chromatic aberration, are effectively removed ensuring the highest quality images.

Extraordinarily fast and precise autofocus

Powered by four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, autofocus in the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II has been drastically increased for dramatic results. Thrust efficiency has been boosted, delivering 4 times faster1 AF speed, and AF tracking-while-zooming has been significantly improved by approximately 30%1.

Autofocus performance for video has also been substantially improved. By utilising the XD Linear Motors, autofocus is smooth and quiet, even when AF tracking and zooming. Additionally, extra care was given when designing to dramatically reduce focus shifting, focus breathing, and axis shifting when zooming.

The worlds lightest 70-200mm for excellent handling

The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II is the lightest F2.8 70-200mm zoom in the world for unprecedented shooting flexibility and freedom. Inheriting technology developed for the super-telephoto FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS and FE 600mm F4 GM OSS, the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II achieves dramatically reduced weight while retaining extraordinary imaging quality thanks to the use of an XA element and ED glass in an optical design.

Care was taken during the designing phase to deliver optimum overall balance without the front-heavy bias that plagues many telephoto and telephoto zoom lenses. Meticulous weight distribution ensures that the lens’s center of gravity3 falls directly above the center of the tripod mount.
