The Sony FE 70–200 mm F4 Makro G OSS II[1] is a full-frame constant maximum aperture, telephoto zoom lens for the Sony E-mount, released by Sony in July 2023.[2] It can be considered as successor of the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS, but has a magnification of 0.5 and is branded as macro lens.
Features
[edit]The name already reveals some features, such as the continuous aperture of f/4, the integrated image stabilisation. It is the second generation of the lens type. Sony claims a maximum magnification ratio of 0.5. The lens is compatible with the teleconverters SEL14TC (98–280mm) and SEL20TC (140–400mm). The latter allows an maximum magnification ratio up to 1, making it a proper macro lens.[3] Typical for revisions of Sony lenses, this model is smaller and lighter than its predecessor.
Scope of delivery
[edit]The product contains the lens itself, a lens hood (ALC-SH176), front (ALC-F72S) and back (ALC-R1EM) lens cap and a tripod clamp. When mounted, it shifts the center of gravity on the tripod.[4]
Image quality
[edit]The lens offers a better image quality than its predecessor.[citation needed]
Awards
[edit]The lens was awarded with the EISA Award 2024–2025 as the best product in the category Telephoto Zoom Lens[5] and the TIPA World Awards 2024.[6]
