In addition to an ideal zoom range for nature, sports, and other photography that requires a bit more “reach” that a mid-range zoom provides, this lens offers outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness from 70 mm to 200 mm in a compact, lightweight unit that is a perfect match for compact full-frame E-mount bodies like the α7 series. Being a G Lens it can also produce smooth, creamy background bokeh.
State-of-the-art optics in a compact, lightweight lens with constant F4 maximum aperture offer the appealing, expressive image quality that the G Lens lineup is famous for.
AA (advanced aspherical) elements, super ED glass, the Nano AR coating, and a 9-blade circular aperture deliver outstanding sharpness with gorgeous background bokeh.
A compact, lightweight design maximizes mobility, internal focusing keeps lens length constant for better handling, and a number of other refinements enhance overall control.
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake, which can blur images when shooting handheld, for sharp, clear telephoto shots and low-light indoor images.
The impeccable Sony G Lens design emphasizes a graceful balance between high resolution and gorgeous background bokeh that can enhance the artist’s vision.
MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) describes how well a lens can reproduce fine details, measured as the degree of contrast achieved between finely spaced lines.
