Sony E 70-200mm F2.8 GM II

A fast telephoto zoom with outstanding sharpness, reduced weight, and smooth autofocus, perfect for sports, events, wildlife, and cinematic telephoto work.

The Sony FE 70–200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II is a professional full-frame E-mount telephoto zoom, offering exceptional image quality and performance in a lighter, more refined design. With a constant f/2.8 aperture, it provides excellent subject separation, low-light capability, and consistent exposure throughout the zoom range. Covering the 70–200mm focal length, this lens is ideal for capturing distant action, tight portraits, or cinematic compression.

Equipped with four XD Linear Motors, autofocus is fast, precise, and nearly silent — critical for both high-speed photography and video production. Optical design improvements ensure outstanding resolution, reduced chromatic aberration, and beautiful background bokeh. The lens also incorporates Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization, further enhanced when paired with Sony’s in-body stabilization for steady handheld operation. Its reduced weight compared to the previous generation makes it more balanced on gimbals and easier to handle during long shoots, while its weather-sealed construction ensures reliability in challenging environments.
