Sony’s advanced lens technology comes together in a compact, lightweight 70-200 mm F4 telephoto zoom G Lens that delivers exceptional optical and AF performance as well as unique half-macro (0.5x magnification) versatility throughout the zoom range. Impressive handling and mobility make it an excellent choice for a wide range of photo and movie applications.
- Spectacular G Lens rendering and corner to corner resolution: Excellent corner-to-corner resolution and contrast throughout the zoom range are achieved by combining AA (advanced aspherical) and aspherical lens elements.
- Eye-opening close-up performance: This is the world's first zoom lens in its class to offer half-macro capability1 throughout the zoom range. Minimum focusing distance is 10-1/4 in. at the wide end and 16-1/2 in. at the telephoto end of the zoom range.
- Fast, precise, quiet autofocus and tracking matches high-speed cameras: Four of Sony's original high-thrust XD linear motors work in conjunction with precision floating focus groups to achieve extremely fast, accurate focus drive.
- Optimized for refined movie performance and imagery: Linear Response MF ensures that manual focus responds directly and linearly to subtle control. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α series cameras is fully supported, reducing unwanted image shifts while focusing.
- Top-class performance with teleconverters: The FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II is fully compatible with Sony's 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. In addition to increasing maximum focal length, the 2.0x teleconverter make it possible to shoot life-size 1:1 macro at all focal lengths.
- Compact, lightweight, mobile, reliable, and easy to use: This innovative lens offers a rare blend of performance and compact mobility. It is 3/1/4 in. (82.2 mm) in diameter by (5-7/8 in. (149 mm) in length at the wide end of the zoom range and weighs just 28.1 oz.
- Versatile high performance 70-200 mm telephoto/macro zoom: An extremely useful telephoto zoom range of 70-200mm makes it easy to capture a range of distant subjects with outstanding clarity and contrast. The FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II is a great choice for movies as well as stills.
- Outstanding image quality at all focal lengths: Precision AA (advanced aspherical) and aspherical lens elements, three ED glass elements, and Super ED glass work together in an advanced optical design to deliver excellent corner-to-corner resolution.
- Superb sharpness, clarity, color and bokeh in one lens: State-of-the-art optics deliver stunning sharpness, clarity, color, and contrast, while exquisitely smooth full-frame bokeh is enhanced by a circular 9-blade aperture mechanism and carefully optimized spherical aberration.
- Convenient, direct creative control of lens functions: In addition to 2-position AF/MF and OSS ON/OFF switches, 3-position switches are provided for focus range limit and image stabilization mode selection.
- Linear Response MF for precise, repeatable manual focus control: Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually.
- Front fluorine coating repels fingerprints, dust, water and oil: The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.
- Dust and moisture resistant5 design for reliability in challenging conditions: An updated dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions.
- Petal shaped, bayonet mount lens hood ALC-SH176 supplied: Round-shaped, bayonet mount lens hood ALC-SH176 is supplied, and also available separately as an optional accessory.

Beautiful white work horse from Sony
I’m not a pro but a photographer on a budget. At first 1699 seems a lot of money but compared to others native lens on this category this is a steal. If you want the best on this range then the f2.8 is $ 2800 but just one stop difference which isn’t a huge deal breaker because we have a good AI denoise solution that can correct this issue. Lets talk about plus points its light ,small , sharp and takes tele converter with also being a macro lens. I took this lens to hiking and it was like carrying 2 lens in one. It was excellent for landscape with F4 being no issue while taking macro flower at same time. I already sold my heavy f2.8 variant coz that lens is good only for indoor concerts and sports but again AI denoise is so good now that I don’t really need aperture below F4.Also its Auto focus is tad bit faster then f2.8 variant.

Best in class lens
I've owned a lot of lenses like this, and have used even more professionally since the 1980s. This is hands-down my favorite. Not only is it lightning fast, and works perfectly with my Sony A7IV, but it's light and compact. It fits in a very small space. Performance is outstanding, and the OSS (vibration reduction) does a great job. And one of the things that make this such a great lens is that it's a real macro lens. It can hoot at ½ life size throughout the whole zoom range. Color, sharpness, and optical performane is second-to-non.

My favorite lens for my Sony a7 IV! Does it all.
I must admit, this is the most expensive lens I have ever purchased. Probably cheap for some photographers, but for a hobbyist, it’s a pricey investment. I will say though it has been well worth it. It’s now my favorite lens and stays on my camera most of the time. It’s lightweight, takes sharp photos, works well with the Sony 1.4X teleconverter for added reach, and actually takes very good macro photos. I wasn’t sure if the F4 would be bright enough, but it’s proven to be fine for outdoor photography. I highly recommend this one.
