Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 G MASTER - Lens

An incomparable F2.8 telephoto lens

The most advanced technology available has been applied in the G Master series, refining the performance of the Sony G lens. This model combines a refined G lens bokeh effect with new levels of resolution in a remarkable constant F2.8 telephoto lens that offers unrivalled rendering, ultra-fast autofocus and extraordinary image stabilization performance.

Exceptional detail and optimized bokeh in a single lens

Specifically designed to resolve spatial frequencies with excellent contrast, this lens features three aspherical lenses, including a double-sided and a newly-focused XA (extreme aspherical) with a surface precision of 0.01 microns, to effectively control aberration, for incredible resolution and a remarkable bokeh effect.

Natural images without unwanted color

Chromatic aberration, which can be a problem with telephoto lenses, is totally eliminated by the use of four ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and two Super ED glass elements. Color streaks are eliminated, so the subject can be captured with maximum sharpness.

High-end close-up performance

High-end close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.96 m and maximum magnification of 0.25x is ideal for portraits, macro telephoto and much more. Refinements include ED glass lenses and a floating focus mechanism to control aberration that can be problematic for close-ups.

Optimized autofocus for photos and videos

The two relatively heavy lenses are quickly and precisely positioned by separate actuators: a powerful SSM (Supersonic Wave Motor) actuator for the front unit, and a dual linear motor actuator for the rear unit. Enhanced positioning accuracy works with real-time feedback from several position sensors to enable the camera's autofocus system to operate at full speed.

More refinements for a bull's-eye on auto focus

The focus system's dual linear motor assumes the essential role of providing "wobble" actuation for the AF contrast detection system when shooting video. An optical system that effectively minimizes viewing angle variation and silent mechanical operation further enhance focusing performance, ideal for both video and still photography.

Remarkable clarity and contrast

Advanced anti-reflective nano-coating technology is a lens coating with a specific nano-structure that effectively suppresses reflections and ghosting, for a remarkable improvement in clarity, contrast and overall image quality. (1. anti-reflective nano-coating / 2.glass / 3.transmitted light)

11 blades for a sumptuous bokeh effect

Sony's circular aperture design has traditionally used up to 9 blades, but this lens incorporates an 11-blade circular aperture that will elevate the quality of the bokeh effect to new levels of smooth beauty with natural highlights.

Optimized operation and reliability for field work

The rigid design with fixed focal length during zooming and focusing contributes to excellent handling in all shooting situations. Focus lock buttons can maintain the focal point even during continuous autofocus, and a focal range limiting selector can be used to preselect a range of focusing distances for maximum autofocus speed.

Stabilized for sharp, blur-free images

High-performance image stabilization is integrated directly into the lens for sharp, blur-free images with a wide range of subjects. The heavy stabilizing lens is driven by a linear motor that ensures precise, fast stabilization. 5-axis image stabilization becomes available when used with α-series models featuring integrated image stabilization.

Stable even when panning

To make the most of the built-in image stabilization system in every possible shooting situation, the SEL70200GM features switchable MODE 2 stabilization, which allows image stabilization to be used with panoramic shots for greater clarity and impact.

Detachable, rotating tripod mount
This versatile lens tripod mount allows the camera to be quickly removed from the tripod in situations requiring a quick, portable response. It also features a swivel mechanism that enables rapid switching between portrait and landscape modes. A locking mechanism prevents accidental release.

High reliability under the most extreme conditions

The dust-tight, moisture-proof design and fluorine front lens coating offer extra protection for reliable operation in harsh environments.
