Description for Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Extraordinary detail and bokeh in one lens

The G Master design combines extraordinary sharpness and smooth bokeh in a single lens. Achieving a spatial frequency of 50 line pairs per millimeter at the lens’s widest aperture while producing smooth, beautiful bokeh is a challenging feat, but it’s a baseline for Sony’s G Master series. Unprecedented resolution and design parameters yield outstanding reproduction of the most detailed subjects and scenes with superior contrast throughout every frame. G Master resolution is simply the highest in its class.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Constant f/2.8 max aperture

The constant f/2.8 max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field regardless of the focal range you choose to zoom to. When adjusting your aperture to defocus the background, the areas out of focus appear blurred, enhancing the bokeh effect. This smooth, circular background blur is further enhanced by the lens's 11-blade circular aperture.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Achieving previously unattainable surface precision

This lens features three aspherical elements, including a newly developed XA (extreme aspherical) lens element with better than 0.01-micron surface precision. This precise XA element reduces aberration and delivers ultimate resolution throughout the entire zoom and aperture range, as well as from corner to corner of all image files.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: 11-blade circular aperture for luscious bokeh

When changing your aperture to defocus the background, light sources appear blurred, creating the classic bokeh effect. This ‘bokeh’ is enhanced by the 11-blade circular aperture, which helps eliminate the flat sides of traditional aperture blades, ensuring a smoother and more natural blur.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Class-leading close-up performance

With a minimum focusing distance of 37.8 inches and 0.25x maximum magnification, this lens is ideal for portraits, telephoto macro, and more. It features ED glass elements and a floating focus mechanism, helping control aberration that can occur in close-up applications.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Dual floating focus system for high AF speed and precision

Sony’s standard lens sealing is enhanced with a lens mount seal, improving resistance to dust and moisture, ensuring reliable operation in challenging conditions. The lens also includes rubberized rings for better control in low temperatures, a zoom lock to prevent lens extension during transport, and a hood lock button for added convenience.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: ED and Super ED glass to reduce flare and ghosting

ED and Super ED glass elements take axial chromatic aberration out of the equation, maximizing resolution and bokeh while leaving precisely rendered edges with no fringing or unnatural coloration.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: No "Breathing" for smooth video focus

When shooting video, some lenses exhibit "breathing," or variations in the angle of view while focusing. The Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens features an optical design and control technology inherited from Sony’s professional camcorders, ensuring minimal focus breathing for smooth, cinematic transitions.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Parfocal design ideal for video

Zooming is a core technique for moviemaking, whether for framing changes or creative effect. The parfocal design of this lens ensures that focus remains locked on the subject even when zooming in or out, making it ideal for video shooting.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Direct-coupled mechanical focus system for fast AF

The lens’s double linear motor actuators rapidly position two heavy focus groups, optimizing AF performance. The combination of a Super Sonic Wave Motor (SSM) for the front group and a double linear motor for the rear ensures fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, ideal for both stills and video.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: No change in lens length during focusing

The overall length of the lens remains constant during focusing and zooming, allowing for better handling. The filter thread at the front of the lens doesn’t rotate, making it perfect for use with a polarizing filter.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: High-performance Optical SteadyShot Image stabilization

Built-in high-performance image stabilization ensures sharp, blur-free images across a variety of shooting situations. The lens is driven by a linear motor for fast, precise stabilization. Additionally, when used with α-series bodies featuring built-in image stabilization, 5-axis stabilization becomes available.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Dust and moisture resistant for robust reliability

Sony’s lens sealing is further enhanced with a lens mount seal to maximize resistance to dust and moisture. This added durability ensures reliable operation in even the most challenging environmental conditions.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Outstanding clarity and contrast

Sony’s original Nano AR Coating minimizes flare and ghosting, improving dynamic range and achieving lifelike detail. This advanced coating allows for accurate light transmission, providing high-quality images with superior contrast and clarity, even in demanding lighting conditions.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: XA element with 0.01 micron surface precision for ultra-sharp images

The XA (extreme aspherical) element in this lens offers unprecedented resolution, eliminating chromatic aberration and delivering superior contrast across the entire zoom range, even at large aperture settings.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Fast AF optimized for both stills and video

Improved autofocus precision works with real-time feedback from multiple position sensors, ensuring that the camera’s AF system operates at full capacity for both stills and video, making this lens a versatile tool for all types of photography and filmmaking.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Operation and reliability optimized for fieldwork

The lens maintains a constant length during zooming and focusing, ensuring excellent handling in all shooting situations. A focus hold button lets you lock focus while shooting, and a focus range limiter switch helps preset focusing distances for maximum AF speed.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens: Removable rotating tripod mount for convenience

The removable tripod mount allows quick detachment from the tripod when needed. It also features a rotating mechanism for easy switching between landscape and portrait orientation, with a locking mechanism to prevent accidental detachment.
