Canon EF 70-200 mm f/2.8 L USM Lens (Non Image Stabilised)

Product Information

With this expanded capability, photographers can capture distant wildlife, sporting events, and intricate details that would otherwise be imperceptible to the naked eye. The convenience of having all these features in a single portable lens further enhances its appeal, and will no doubt make it the goto choice for a wide range of photographic situations. The panel also has switches for the stabilization—you can turn it on or off, or swap among Mode 1, 2, or 3. Use Mode 1 for static shots, Mode 2 for panning, and Mode 3 for scenarios in which you need to move the camera in all different directions to keep up—a tennis match is a classic example. These modes were very effective in testing. The autofocus performance is unrivaled. The two Ultra-Sonic Motors make it fast and responsive. You really appreciate the speed when working with fast-moving subjects. And that makes it a great zoom lens for wonderful wildlife photography.

The L-mount version of the lens works with Sigma's 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters to turn it into a 98-280mm F4 or 140-400mm F5.6 zoom, respectively. Sigma's teleconverters are not available for E-mount, however, and Sony restricts its converters to Sony lenses. If you have an E-mount camera and a teleconverter is something you like to use, you need to spend more on the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II or FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II.

Hit your productivity targets with inkjet and laser printers that are a perfect fit for any workspace – including home offices. The constant f/2.8 aperture gives you excellent control over your exposure settings. You get excellent low-light performance at any focal length. And you can achieve a beautiful shallow depth of field. The image stabilization gives you even better options in low light. It gives you five stops of shake compensation. Sony has improved image quality in their new 70-200 f/4 telephoto zoom lens through an optical formula and floating focusing design, which includes six special glass elements. This ensures that the FE 70-200mm f/4 G II is able to deliver higher image quality across the frame, at all focal widths. Sample 5 Sony A6700 with Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II Lens @200mm. Camera settings: 1/400 sec. f/4.0. ISO 1250 How user-friendly is the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G II?Optics show some pincushion distortion throughout the entire range—it's worse at 200mm than at 70mm. If you're using your camera in JPG mode, you don't need to worry because corrections happen automatically. That said, some Raw converters, including Lightroom Classic, require a custom profile for distortion correction. I expect Adobe to have one ready soon, but one was not available at the time of testing. Regardless, it's easy enough to manually compensate for distortion using the slider adjustment. I applied some corrections to the image of a train car below; you can see the pincushion curve in the uncorrected version (left) and properly straight lines in the corrected picture (right). A Carry-Friendly Zoom With Great Macro Abilities The percentage difference between two values is calculated by dividing the absolute value of the difference between two numbers by the average of those two numbers. Multiplying the result by 100 will yield the solution in percent, rather than decimal form. Refer to the equation below for clarification. Percentage Difference = The pristine glass gives you outstanding image quality. It has two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements. There are two Super ED elements and an ED aspherical element. They work together to minimize chromatic aberration, giving you razor-sharp images. You also get a Nano anti-reflective (AR) coating that reduces flare. Percentages are computed by multiplying the value of a ratio by 100. For example, if 25 out of 50 students in a classroom are male, . The value of the ratio is therefore 0.5, and multiplying this by 100 yields:

Performance is absolutely top-drawer. The Mark II lays to rest all of the criticisms we had of the original edition. Sharpness is spectacular with a massive improvement in edge/corner sharpness at both ends of the zoom range. And while the earlier lens gave noticeable lateral chromatic aberration toward the edges and corners of the frame, the Mark II virtually eliminates this altogether. Resistance to ghosting and flare is also very good.The lens engineering is brilliant. You get Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements. There are aspherical elements. And there’s a Nano AR coating on the outer glass. All of these features come together to give you edge-to-edge sharpness and distortion-free images. The newer Sony 70-200mm f/4 Mark II lens unquestionably offers several brilliant upgrades, solidifying its position as a comprehensive improvement over its predecessor. Notably, it stands out for its close focusing distance and high magnification, which caters directly to enthusiast and professional photographers who value lenses capable of capturing close-up shots with exceptional detail. It’s also the lightest model by quite a margin, which is a benefit most photographers will thoroughly enjoy from day one. Best accessories for the Sony 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II Lens The Pentax D FA 70-200mm f/2.8 is the best 70-200mm lens for Pentax cameras. It’s a robust lens that doesn’t cut any corners regarding quality. It’s worth every penny. You can increase the reach of the newer zoom lens with either of the Sony FE 1.4x and Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverters. This is a bold move which may entice some photographers who were considering the GM lens, although adding a TC will reduce your aperture by one and two stops respectively, which favours the GM’s brighter aperture. That said, you can still achieve gorgeous bokeh effects at f/4.0 and narrower apertures, as demonstrated by the professional Sony 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 GM lens. This effectively doubles the already impressive native 0.5x magnification, and is available across the entire zoom range.
