Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G SSM II Full-Frame Lens (2013)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G SSM II is a telephoto zoom lens for Sony A-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Sony in 2013, it has 19 elements in 16 groups.
Photographers will be pleased by the fact that the lens is internally-zooming, meaning that the barrel does not extend when the focal length is changed. This helps balance and weather sealing; it is also great for long-term durability, as there is less chance for moisture and dirt to get in. For incremental weathers, Sony is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a telephoto zoom lens with a bright maximum aperture, the Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G SSM II is well suited for sports and portrait photography. Built-in image stabilization makes the lens easier to use handheld, and can be quite valuable for landscape works. Owners will also like the available tripod collar.
