This high-performance Sony 70-200mm G Series lens is unbeatable for shooting sports, wildlife, and portraits. It delivers the telephoto power and responsiveness you need for taking rapid-fire shots of far-off subjects. Sony's latest Super Sonic wave Motor (SSM) focusing mechanism ensures quick, smooth, and quiet focusing performance with enhanced tracking capabilities of fast-moving action. A dust- and moisture-resistant design means you can use it in the field in any kind of weather with total confidence.

The 70-200mm focal range and large maximum aperture make this lens especially well-suited for photographing stunning portraits. You can softly blur unnecessary background details, while making your crisply focused subject pop from the photo. The large f/2.8 aperture remains constant throughout the zoom range. That means your images stay bright as you zero in, and your exposure values remain unchanged. Sony's anti-reflective Nano AR coatings and four extra-low dispersion (ED) lens elements ensure dynamic images with exceptional clarity and realism.

Features

Overview: The Sony SAL70200G2 (70-200mm F2.8 G SSM II) is a superior quality lens that is an excellent choice for a wide range of medium to long-distance telephoto applications. It has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 105-300mm when used with APS-C format cameras.

Compatibility: The SAL70200G2 lens is equipped with a Sony A-mount, and is designed for use with Sony Interchangeable Lens Digital Cameras. With an optional LA-EA1 mount adapter, this lens can be used on Sony α (alpha) NEX-series hybrid cameras and camcorders with the E-mount.

Note: When using this lens with the Sony SLT-A77 or SLT-A65 cameras, you will need to update the camera's firmware to version 1.05 or later. This update will improve the auto focus response.

Lens Collar: The lens includes a lens collar that allows you to attach a tripod to the lens (rather than the camera) for better stability and balance. You can loosen the collar and rotate the camera inside the collar to change the vertical/horizontal position without removing it from the tripod. The collar includes index dots at 90° intervals (and index lines on the lens) for precise positioning. When a tripod is not in use, the collar can be removed from the lens, if desired.

G-Series Lens: Sony's G-Series lenses are designed for maximum descriptive power, maintaining excellent peripheral light characteristics and maximizing contrast even at the edges of the frame.

Fast Aperture: The fast F2.8 aperture enables you to shoot at higher shutter speeds, making it ideal for sports photography. The lens maintains the F2.8 aperture throughout the full focal range.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass: The lens is equipped with two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements for sharp, high contrast images at all focal lengths.

Super Sonic wave Motor (SSM): The built-in Super Sonic wave Motor (SSM) gives you fast, smooth, quiet focusing. The SSM achieves high torque at low speed with a rapid start/stop response.

Auto/Manual Focus: You can switch between AF (auto focus) and MF (manual focus) on the lens. The auto focus range can also be selected. The switch has two positions: Full (no distance limit--auto focus works in the entire range), and 3m-infinity (AF works from 3 meters to infinity). To shoot in AF mode, you will need to set the focus mode to AF on the camera and the lens. To shoot in MF mode, you can set the lens or the camera to MF, or both. The focusing ring can be rotated until the subject is in focus.

Direct Manual Focus (DMF): Even when the lens is in AF (auto focus), the setting is switched automatically to MF (manual focus) if you rotate the focusing ring while pressing the shutter button halfway. The DMF switch can be set to standard or full-time.

Focus Hold Button: The lens has a Focus Hold button, which, when pressed and held, suspends the auto focus function and fixes the focus for shooting. If the camera has a custom function capability, the function of the Focus Hold button can be changed.

Image Stabilization INSIDE: The 70-200mm lens works with the SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system that you'll find in many of the Sony α-series DSLRs.

Lens Hood: The lens includes a flower-shaped lens hood to reduce flare and ensure maximum image quality. It has a polarizing filter window that allows you to rotate the filter without removing the hood. When not in use, the lens hood can be inverted and stored on the lens backwards. If using the camera's built-in flash, you will need to remove the lens hood to prevent blockage of the flash light.
