FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II – Sony Alpha full-frame constant-aperture telephoto zoom lens with excellent G MASTER resolution and bokeh optimized for still and movie image quality and autofocus performance
The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS delivers superb Image quality throughout the zoom range at all focusing distances with two aspherical elements and one XA (extreme aspherical) element to ensure high resolution throughout the image area. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and one ED aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberration while Sony’s Nano AR (anti-reflective) Coating II subdues flare and ghosting. For additional reach, high-performance 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are available (sold separately)..Angle of View (APS-C) : 23ﾟ- 8ﾟ6, Maximum Magnification ratio (x) : 0.3
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 for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking for stills and movies. AF tracking while zooming is improved by approx. 30% which greatly increase chances of getting the shot even with subjects moving rapidly towards the lens.
Designed with movie magic in mind and the latest lens technology to reduce focus breathing, focus shift when zooming and axis shift when zooming. The XD Linear Motors and a new aperture drive unit contribute to quiet operation and independent control rings for focus, zoom and iris, with a click on/off switch for the aperture ring, make this lens ideal for movie shooting. Sony’s Linear Response MF feature ensures responsive and repeatable direct manual focus control.
This lens offers outstanding optical quality and autofocus in the world’s lightest* 70-200mm F2.8 zoom lens. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 2.3 lb. (1045 grams); approx. 29% lighter than the previous model. Advanced design improves balance, while a constant barrel length further contributes to easy, agile handling.

An Outstanding Improvement!
My first generation Sony 70-200 GM was my workhorse for many different kinds of photography for several years. I converted from Canon to Sony about six years ago, and used to rely similarly on the venerable Canon 70-200 L. I was delighted and impressed by the better performance of the Sony 70-200 after changing brands, and couldn’t imagine things getting much better. I was accordingly reluctant when Sony announced the 70-200 GM II–I didn’t think the marginal improvement possible could be worth the investment. The DXO ratings on the new 70-200 II eventually convinced me to take the plunge, and wow! I was surprised by the significant step-up in quality from the first time I used the new lens. I am mostly a sports shooter these days. I am routinely stunned by the increased resolution and focal accuracy of the new 70-200 II. The reduced weight, manual f-stop control, and additional IS controls are certainly niceties, but it’s image quality and reliability that’s critical to me. The new lens delivers, over and over again. I can routinely see individual eye-lashes and hairs on moving athletes captured at 200mm and 1/1000 across a gym or indoor arena, and images at ISO 4000+ have little or very manageable noise. I’m convinced the new II lens on a Sony A-1 becomes The Best Sports Camera In the World and have many images to prove it. And, of course, the combination does a great job with portraiture as well. Despite the expense, I’m very glad I stepped up from the I to the II. It is a significant and outstanding improvement.

Incredible lens, fast, sharp, and lightweight
A gorgeous lens. Very lightweight (for what it does – this is a professional bright aperture zoom). Autofocus is very fast and precise with my Sony a1. Image quality is wonderful. The inner-zoom design is a game-changer – one to go to inner-zoom you never want to go back.

Every Day Lens
I do all kinds of photography and since I bought this lens over a year ago, it’s been my every day lens. The build quality is top notch. The autofocus is fast and accurate. The image quality is second to none with super sharp replication. The color contrast is what you would expect from a lens at this price range. The weight takes a little getting used to but it’s tolerable. As far as the value, it’s definitely worth the money. I have many lenses and I always find myself coming back to this one. I even have other GM IIs but they don’t have the reach that this one does. Sure this is not the lens for wide angle shots or other niche type shots but for an all around lens, I’m very satisfied.

I love sony
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Lens – Worth Every Penny!The Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II is absolutely outstanding. The image quality is razor sharp, autofocus is lightning-fast, and the bokeh is beautiful. It’s much lighter than the first version, making it easier to use for long shoots. Perfect for portraits, sports, and events. Expensive, yes—but the performance and build quality totally justify the price. Highly recommended for serious photographers!

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II is the best zoom lens so far for Sony full frame cameras. The build quality is outstanding. The bokeh this lens produces, especially when you zoom in, produces very nice bokeh thanks to the compression. What made me choose this lens over 3rd party lenses although it is significantly more expensive, is the autofocus speed and accuracy, and the Optical Steady Shot (Optical Stabilization).The lens was brand new in a sealed box with the Jumbo warranty sticker.
