Overview
After nine years of refinement, Sony has reengineered its reliable workhorse telephoto zoom lens with the FE 70-200mm f/4 Macro G OSS II, enhancing autofocus, stabilization, magnification, and sharpness while making it more compact and lightweight. Still a go-to choice for events, sports, and portrait photography, this updated version also extends its versatility into macro and video applications.
Features
- A removable and rotating tripod collar for added stability and reducing strain on the camera’s lens mount.
- Three focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid access to select settings.
- Three-mode optical image stabilization switch to ensure sharpness in varying shooting conditions.
- A full-time DMF switch for manual focus override during AF-C mode.
- Zoom lock and focus range limiter switches to prevent unwanted lens extension or to constrain the usable focus range between a set limited range or full for improving focus speed.
- A fluorine coating for the front-lens element to repel water, oil, and other contaminants and facilitate lens-cleaning.
