Overview

Taking cues from their cinema division, Sony has optimized the 70-200mm II for video. Changes include a dramatic reduction of focus breathing and focus shift, improved autofocus performance, and a Linear Response MF system to ensure consistent, natural-feeling operation. Full-time Direct Manual Focus (DMF) also makes it easy to make quick adjustments using the focus ring while in AF modes.

The exterior design of the lens also sees some big changes. One clear example is the addition of a physical aperture ring that was not present on its predecessor. Users will be able to de-click this ring at the flip of a switch for smooth iris control during shooting. This provides shooters with independent controls for focus, zoom, and iris.

Fast Autofocus and Reliable Image Stabilization

Among the biggest improvements with the 70-200mm II is a vastly superior autofocus system. Now comprised of 4 XD Linear motors, the lens now performs up to four times faster. Focus tracking while zooming sees its own specific improvement of around 30% when compared to the previous model. Users will also enjoy high-speed continuous shooting at up to 30 fps with AF and video will benefit from the near-silent operation.

An advanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system will ensure sharp images while shooting handheld at even the longest focal lengths. Multiple modes are available, including standard, panning, and a new Mode 3 for moving subjects.

Professional Design and Durability

Being designed for professional use, the 70-200mm II has been ruggedized with advanced weather sealing. The weight has also been reduced by approximately 29%, to just under 2.3 lb, making this model among the lightest in its class. Optics have also been designed for balance with an internal zoom mechanism, minimizing front heaviness to provide a more ergonomic center of gravity.

Other features of the physical design include three programmable focus hold buttons, all located in 90-degree increments, for more tactile control over select settings in both landscape and portrait orientation. Users also have a removable tripod foot for added stability on support systems.
SEL70200GM2 | Lens Switches
  • Focus range limiter switch will optimize performance and improve AF speed and responsiveness in certain shooting scenarios.
  • Zoom ring torque has been optimized.
  • Iris lock switch prevents users from accidentally moving the aperture ring to or from the auto aperture position.
  • Front lens element has a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants and makes the lens easier to clean.
  • Included lens hood features a locking button and a filter window for easier adjustment of variable filters (e.g. polarizers, ND).
Sony FE Teleconverters

Teleconverter Compatibility

The FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II is compatible with Sony's optional FE 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. These teleconverters can be used while still retaining full autofocus capabilities. When used, the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters will provide effective focal lengths and apertures of 98-280mm f/4 and 140-400mm f/5.6, respectively.

Love this lens
I've barely had it out of the box, however the few photos I have taken are superb quality. I am sure I will get a lot of use out of this lens.

Not Working From Purchase
Purchased lens, first use 2 days from purchase had problems with buffering. Lens would get stuck during buffering and would freeze, had to remove lens to correct. Did not have problems with my other lenses. On 3rd day because of store policy, I was unable to exchange.
Sent lens to Sony, took one month to get back. Will be testing lens again soon.

I understand that store policy, but frustrated that I was not able to exchange. Other local stores have a 7-14 day exchange. I don't know if this is because of store not being a Sony Authorized Store (per Sony?). Love the repair work that store does, but do not know it I will buy anymore lenses there.
Policy is what it is and I understand.

BRILLIANT, VERSATILE TELEPHOTO
Most versatile telephoto I’ve ever used by far! It’s super lightweight compared to the previous version, to the point where it feels closer to the F/4 version. I can carry this around all day shooting handheld portraits, street, and wildlife. Absolutely stunning resolution too.

AMAZING AND SHARP!!!
I had been renting the previous version for over a year. As I got closer to purchasing my own is when I noticed this one was coming out. I waited and added myself to a reserve list in my city. Once I got it I was able to put it to the test, Ive had it for only a couple of weeks. I have mostly done portraits with it and it is amazingly sharp and way lighter than the previous model. This is my first G-Master lens and I'm in love with the results I get when paired with my A1
