Overview

This superb 70-200mm zoom lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of medium to long-distance telephoto applications. (35mm equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 105-300mm.) The fast f/2.8 aperture enables shooting at much higher shutter speeds to freeze action. The 2.8x zoom range goes all the way from 70mm, suitable for portraits and other medium-angle shots, to a telephoto 200mm. Sony's G-Series lenses are designed for maximum descriptive power, maintaining excellent peripheral light characteristics and maximizing contrast even at the edges of the frame.

SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)

Designed for fast, smooth, silent automatic focusing, this unique technology achieves high torque at low speed with rapid start/stop response. It operates through the ability of a piezoelectric device to reshape itself quickly when voltage is applied.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion)

Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.

Superb Minimum Focusing Distance

With the ability to focus as closely as 3.9 feet (1.2m), this telephoto lens also lets you move in for dramatic shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details.

Focus Range Limiter

Used when you need the quickest possible autofocus response within a certain focal range. The lens will only autofocus within the set range eliminating AF at focal lengths outside.

Multi-Element Design

The SAL70200G incorporates 19 elements in 16 groups for high optical precision from the center of the image all the way to the corners.

Circular Aperture

Because the aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect. The lens features nine aperture blades.

Works with Optional Teleconverters

Compatible with optional Sony SAL14TC (1.4x) which extends focal length to 280mm (35mm equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 420mm) and SAL20TC (2.0x) teleconverters which extends focal length to 400mm (35mm equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 6900mm). Teleconverters are compatible with manual focus only.
