Used Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II Lens

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II is an extremely lightweight (only 1045g), full frame G Master Lens for stills and movies. It features an advanced optical design that includes one XA (extreme aspherical) element for incredible corner-to-corner high-resolution, along with beautiful background defocus (bokeh). Four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors deliver incredibly fast, precise, quiet autofocus and tracking. Perfect for video, the SEL70200GM2 delivers smooth, fast and continuous AF performance for movie shooting, with minimised focus breathing, focus shift when zooming and axis shift when zooming.

Superior Sony optics
Two aspherical lens elements, one an XA (extreme aspherical) type manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision, effectively control distance-related aberration so that outstanding resolution is ensured throughout the image area.
Two spherical elements that use ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, plus two more that use Super ED glass significantly reduce chromatic aberration for sharp reproduction without colour bleeding. ED aspherical element is also used, simultaneously suppressing chromatic and spherical aberration

Lightweight, professional ergonomic design
A dust and moisture resistant design, along with versatile controls on this Sony lens makes it ideal to use in the most difficult scenarios - both indoors and outdoors. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 1045 grams - approximately 29% lighter than the previous model.

Fast and precise AF
Four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors with their complex construction deliver incedibly fast and accurate focusing even on fast-moving subjects for both photography and videography. It produces up to 4x faster AF than Sony's previous 70-200mm GM lens SEL70200GM. Focus tracking capability while zooming is improved by approximately 30% compared to the SEL70200GM.

Natural, linear manual focus
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually while shooting stills or movies. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise when shooting stills or movies.

Designed for refined movies
The latest lens design technology reduces focus breathing, focus shift when zooming, and axis shift when zooming. XD Linear Motors and a newly developed aperture drive unit also contribute to quiet operation, greatly reducing noise and vibration that can interfere with movie recording.

Versatile manual movie control
Independent control rings for focus, zoom, and iris, allow precise manual operation in movie applications. The aperture ring has a click on/off switch that allows the aperture click switch stops to be turned ON for tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for smooth, silent iris control when shooting movies.

Optical image stabilisation
Built-in optical image stabilisation makes it easy to shoot sharp images handheld. MODE 2 stabilisation is optimized for panning shots, while MODE 3 emphasizes framing stability when shooting dynamic, unpredictable motion. 5-axis image stabilisation becomes available when the lens is mounted on an α body that has in-body image stabilization.

high-performance 11-blade aperture unit
Even the aperture unit in this lens has been refined to meet the highest G Master quality standards. A newly developed 11-blade aperture unit that remains almost perfectly circular from wide open to stopped down by two stops helps to deliver natural looking circular bokeh.

Nano AR Coating II for clarity and contrast
Nano AR Coating II produces a uniform anti-reflection coating on lens surfaces, effectively subduing flare and ghosting. The lens’s optical design also effectively suppresses internal reflections that can reduce clarity when shooting landscapes or sport.

Fluorine front element coating
The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.

Get close
This lens offers excellent close-up performance for a zoom. Minimum focus is 40cm at 70mm and 82cm at 200mm. Maximum magnification is 0.3x. Deep bokeh at F2.8 adds extra expressive close-up capability. Floating focus ensures pinpoint sharpness even at minimum focus distance, while inner focus makes it easy to get close.

Removable tripod mount
A removable tripod mount allows quick attachment to or removal from a tripod so the user can easily switch between tripod and handheld shooting. The mount can also be removed for convenient transport and storage. A lock mechanism prevents accidental removal.
