Spectacular G Lens rendering
Excellent corner-to-corner resolution and contrast throughout the zoom range are achieved by combining AA (advanced aspherical) and aspherical lens elements. Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and one Super ED element suppress chromatic aberration and color bleeding for revealing sharpness. Exquisite full-frame bokeh is enhanced by a circular 9-blade aperture mechanism and optimized spherical aberration.
Eye-opening close-up performance
This is the world’s first zoom lens in its class to offer half-macro capability throughout the zoom range. Minimum focusing distance is 0.26 m at the wide end and 0.42 m at the telephoto end of the zoom range, with a maximum magnification of 0.5x throughout. New levels of zoom close-up capability offer unprecedented versatility and freedom for shooting stills as well as movies.
Fast autofocus matches high-speed bodies
Four of Sony’s original high-thrust XD linear motors work in conjunction with precision floating focus groups to achieve extremely fast, accurate focus drive. Thrust efficiency has been dramatically improved, resulting in up to approximately a 20% increase in autofocus speed throughout the entire zoom range when shooting stills. The speed potential of high-performance α series bodies is fully realized. Focus tracking continues uninterrupted even while zooming, ensuring that important moments of the action won’t be lost.
Refined movie performance and imagery
Linear Response MF ensures that manual focus responds directly and linearly to subtle control. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α series bodies is fully supported, reducing unwanted image shifts while focusing. Built-in optical image stabilization can work in conjunction with the in-body stabilization in compatible α series cameras to provide extremely smooth, stable handheld footage.
Top-class performance with teleconverters
The FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II is fully compatible with Sony’s 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. In addition to increasing maximum focal length, the 2.0x teleconverter make it possible to shoot life-size 1:1 macro at all focal lengths for new creative potential. Attached with the 1.4x teleconverter, it can shoot max. 0.7x macro at all focal lengths. And because the working distance does not change with the teleconverter attached, you can move in close to the subject to capture truly impressive images.
Compact, mobile, reliable, and easy to use
This innovative lens offers a rare blend of performance and compact mobility. It is 82.2 mm (3-1/4 in.) in diameter by 149.0 mm (5-7/8 in.) in length at the wide end of the zoom range and weighs 794 grams (28.1 oz.)*. An extending lens design was chosen to maximize portability, and a zoom lock switch is provided to prevent unwanted lens extension during transportation.*without tripod mount
Versatile 70-200 mm telephoto/macro zoom
An extremely useful telephoto zoom range of 70-200mm makes it easy to capture a range of distant subjects with outstanding clarity and contrast. The FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II is a great choice for movies as well as stills. Its constant F4 maximum aperture keeps exposure constant during zooms while recording movie footage.
Outstanding quality at all focal lengths
Precision AA (advanced aspherical) and aspherical lens elements, three ED glass elements, and Super ED glass work together in an advanced optical design to deliver excellent corner-to-corner resolution and contrast throughout the 70-200mm telephoto zoom range. Image quality is uniformly superb at all focal lengths.

Superb sharpness and bokeh in one lens
State-of-the-art optics deliver stunning sharpness, clarity, color, and contrast, while exquisitely smooth full-frame bokeh is enhanced by a circular 9-blade aperture mechanism and carefully optimized spherical aberration. An ideally coordinated blend of resolution and bokeh contributes to deep, dimensional images.
Excellent close-up performance
An innovative, superbly balanced optical design achieves half-macro capability throughout the lens’s 70-200 mm zoom range. Minimum focusing distance is 0.26 m at the wide end and 0.42 m at the telephoto end of the zoom range with a maximum magnification of 0.5x throughout for unprecedented handling and versatility when shooting stills or movies.

Designed for refined movie imagery
A number of this lens’s features are tailored to achieving more refined movie imagery. Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually, and advanced lens technology reduces focus breathing as well as focus and axial shift when zooming.
No-compromise teleconverter support
Used with the Sony’s 2.0x and 1.4x teleconverters, it increases maximum focal length to 400 mm and 280 mm respectively. Also, the 2.0x teleconverter make it possible to shoot life-size 1:1 macro at all focal lengths for new creative potential. Attached with the 1.4x teleconverter, it can shoot max. 0.7x macro at all focal lengths.
Compact, lightweight, and mobile
This innovative lens is 82.2 mm (3-1/4 in.) in diameter by 149.0 mm (5-7/8 in.) in length at the wide end of the zoom range and weighs 794 grams (28.1 oz.). An extending lens design was chosen to maximize portability, and a zoom lock switch is provided to prevent unwanted lens extension during transportation.
Convenient creative control
In addition to 2-position AF/MF and OSS ON/OFF switches, 3-position switches are provided for focus range limit and image stabilization mode selection. A separate switch turns Full Time DMF OFF or ON so that manual focus can be instantly engaged by simply rotating the focus ring when shooting in the AF-C mode.
Fluorine front element coating
The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels fingerprints, dust, water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants that do become attached to the lens surface.
