​Sony expands the range of shooting possibilities with introduction of the FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II lens™ offering supreme image quality and AF performance

FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II telephoto zoom lens with compact and lightweight design.

World's first^[1] half-macro shooting with a maximum magnification of 0.5x throughout the zoom range

Sony introduces the telephoto zoom lens FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II (product name SEL70200G2) that covers focal lengths from 70mm to 200mm with an F4 maximum aperture, compatible with 35mm full-frame α™ (Alpha™) E-mount series.

The FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II is a compact, lightweight telephoto zoom lens that can be used in a wide range of situations. Not only does the FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II contain superb high-speed and high-performance AF that are unique to G lenses, this is the world’s first¹ zoom lens to offer half macro capability throughout the zoom range, with a maximum magnification of 0.5x² throughout. In addition, with a teleconverter (sold separately³), super-telephoto shooting up to 400mm and life-size 1:1 magnification macro shooting throughout the entire zoom range is possible⁴.

This launch marks Sony’s 50^th full-frame E-mount lens⁵. Since the very first lens, Sony has remained committed to supporting the creative activities of photographers and videographers by bringing together the latest technologies and expanding the E-mount lineup that covers both full-frame and APS-C size formats.

A compact and lightweight model capable of excellent shooting from distant to close-up, and compatible with a teleconverter

With a total length of 149mm and a weight of approximately 794g (excluding tripod mount), the FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II can be used for a wide range of purposes, including sports scenes, landscapes, wild birds, and even macro photography.

Shooting from 70mm to 200mm, the lens also enables the world’s first¹ half-macro shooting², with a maximum magnification of 0.5x throughout the zoom range. The advanced aspherical lenses contribute to uniformly excellent corner-to-corner resolution and contrast. In addition, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass suppresses chromatic aberration.

It also supports a high-performance teleconverter⁶ (sold separately³). With a super-telephoto of up to 400 mm (equivalent to 600 mm when using with an APS-C camera)⁴, you can capture distant subjects in a larger size, along with beautiful bokeh. When the SEL20TC is attached, it is possible to take macro shots at up to 1:1 over the entire zoom range.

Fast autofocus and excellent video recording performance

Sony's unique XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor increases the autofocus speed by up to 20%⁷. Tracking performance for moving objects has also improved approximately twice as much compared to the previous model⁷, so it continues to track the target subject with high accuracy. Whilst focus tracking performance during zooming has also been greatly improved⁸. When paired with the flagship α1 body, it is possible to shoot high-speed bursts at up to 30 frames per second.

In addition, a new MODE3⁹ setting of SteadyShot has been added that optimises the camera shake correction algorithm, emphasising framing stability when shooting moving subjects. By combining with a compatible camera body, you can more effectively compensate for camera shake and shoot stable movies.

Intuitive operability and high reliability for safe use in harsh shooting environment

The FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II provides intuitive and secure operability that supports the photographers and videographers. In addition to a focus range limiter and a full-time DMF switch that instantly switches from AF to MF (manual focus), the detachable tripod mount included in the box provides a sense of stability during super-telephoto and macro shooting.

In addition, the front lens element features a fluorine coating, which makes it easy to remove fingerprints, dust, oil, and other contaminants from the lens surface. The dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions¹⁰ and expands the freedom of shooting.

Pricing and Availability

The new FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II will be available in August 2023 for approximately 24.500 kr. It will be sold at a variety of Sony's authorised dealers throughout Europe.
