Sony introduces FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II lens

Sony Electronics Inc. announced the newest lens G Master lineup, the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II​.  The E-mount FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II​ not only offers outstanding optical quality and advanced AF performance, but it is the lightest F2.8 70-200mm zoom in the world, the company claims. The lens is approximately 29% lighter than the previous model, weighing just under 37 oz.

The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II​ will be available in December for approximately $2,800.00 USD and $3,500.00 CAD. It will be sold at a variety of Sony’s authorized dealers throughout North America.

The new FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II​ has two aspherical lens elements, including one XA (extreme aspherical) element manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision. The FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II​ also employs two ED (extra-low dispersion) spherical glass elements and two Super ED spherical glass elements to significantly reduce chromatic aberration without color bleeding. This lens also includes an ED aspherical element for the first time in an Alpha system lens, which simultaneously suppresses chromatic and spherical aberration, common issues in other telephoto lenses.
