Enhanced Image Quality

Built to maximise versatility and meet the high demands of different photographic genres, the Sony FE 70-200mm f4 G OSS II Lens benefits from improved corner-to-corner resolution thanks to its intricate arrangement of 19 elements in 13 groups. This arrangement includes one super ED, three ED, one AA, and one ASPH element designed to reduce aberrations and provide detail-rich clarity even at great distances. Combined with the large f4 constant aperture, the Sony FE 70-200mm f4 G OSS II Lens offers extended control over depth-of-field, effectively separating the subject from the background for striking results that bring the action closer. Bokeh also looks incredibly natural and circular thanks to the 9-bladed diaphragm.

Macro Capability

With an upgraded minimum focusing distance between 0.26-0.42m, the Sony FE 70-200mm f4 G OSS II Lens is all about getting closer to your subjects to unlock a new world of creative detail when shooting macro.
