This compact yet powerful kit delivers high-resolution performance, advanced macro capabilities, and extended reach for wildlife, sports, portrait, and close-up photography.
The Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 Macro G OSS II Lens is an evolved and improved telephoto zoom lens for professionals. It is lighter than its predecessor but boasts performance improvements in every area of operation. With a half-macro reproduction ratio (0.5x), it allows for detailed close-ups throughout the zoom range. When paired with the Sony SEL20TC 2.0x Teleconverter, the FE 70-200mm f/4 Macro G OSS II transforms into a 140–400mm f/8 lens, extending its reach while enabling true 1:1 macro magnification. The teleconverter is designed to maintain full electronic communication between the lens and E-mount mirrorless cameras, supporting auto-exposure metering, autofocus, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization. It also features a dust- and moisture-resistant construction, matching the lens, for reliable performance in challenging environments.
Image quality is superb throughout the zoom range at all focusing distances. Two aspherical elements, one an XA (extreme aspherical) type, ensure high resolution throughout the image area. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements, and one ED aspherical element minimise chromatic aberration, while Sony’s Nano AR Coating II subdues flare and ghosting.
Beautiful G Master bokeh is achieved through advanced optical design, an F2.8 aperture, and a new 11-blade aperture unit. An XA element manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision suppresses onion ring bokeh, and the new aperture unit helps to deliver natural circular bokeh. Close-up bokeh is superb too, with a minimum focusing distance of just 0.4 meters at 70mm and 0.82 meters at 200mm.
Four of Sony’s original XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors deliver high thrust efficiency that boosts AF speed by up to 4x compared to the previous model. When tracking an approaching short-distance runner, for example, tracking while zooming is improved by approx. 30% compared to the previous model greatly increasing chances of getting the shot.
The latest lens technology reduces focus breathing, focus shift when zooming, and axis shift when zooming. XD Linear Motors and a new aperture drive unit contribute to quiet operation. This lens even has independent control rings for focus, zoom, and iris, with a click on/off switch for the aperture ring. Sony’s Linear Response MF feature ensures responsive, direct manual focus control.
This lens offers outstanding optical quality and AF in the world’s lightest1 F2.8 70-200mm zoom. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 1045 grams; approx. 29% lighter than the previous model. Advanced design improves balance, while a constant barrel length further contributes to easy, agile handling.
Flexible focus control is provided by features such as Full-time DMF, Linear Response MF, and a focus-range limiter. An aperture ring with switchable clicks and an iris lock provides extra exposure control. MODE 1, MODE 2, and MODE 36 optical image stabilisation ensure sharp images, and a dust and moisture resistant design plus fluorine-coated front element maximise reliability in tough environments.
