Excellent close-up performance
This lens offers excellent close-up performance for a zoom. Minimum focus is 1.32 ft (0.4 m) at 70 mm and 2.69 ft (0.82 m) at 200 mm. 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.
XA element for breath-taking resolution
Superior G Master resolution is achieved throughout the entire 70 mm to 200 mm zoom range at all focusing distances. 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.
New high-performance 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 the kind of natural-looking circular bokeh users have come to expect from a G Master design.
Stunning G Master bokeh
An XA element manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision suppresses onion ring bokeh, while precise spherical aberration control boosts bokeh quality. ED (extra-low dispersion) and Super ED glass spherical elements, plus one ED aspherical element, effectively minimise colour bleeding for beautiful bokeh without unnatural colouration.
Nano AR Coating II for maximum clarity
The Immersive Audio Enhancement button on the remote upscales regular stereo audio to near 7.1.4 surround sound, adding a new dimension to your content.
Lightest* for superior handling
This unique lens offers outstanding optical quality and AF in the world’s lightest F2.8 70–200 mm zoom. XD Linear Motors and magnesium alloy barrel components result in an overall weight of just 1,045 g (36.9 oz); approximately 29% lighter than the previous model. Advanced design improves overall balance and handling.
*As of the October 2021 product announcement, compared to full-frame F2.8 70–200 mm telephoto zoom lenses that support autofocus.
Fast, precise autofocus
This lens works with α series bodies to reliably focus on and smoothly track even fast-moving subjects. Four high-thrust XD Linear Motors and advanced control technology deliver up to 4x faster AF than the SEL70200GM. Focus tracking capability while zooming is improved by approximately 30% compared to the SEL70200GM.
High-performance teleconverters
Optional high-performance 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters extend the lens’s focal length to a maximum of 400 mm (600 mm on an APS-C body) at F5.6. Full G Master quality is maintained when the teleconverters are in use. Maximum aperture with the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters is F4 and F5.6, respectively.
