- 29% Weight Reduction from Previous Model
- Four XD Linear AF Motors; 4x Faster AF
Sony's FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II takes the classic fast zoom and elevates performance to a whole new level. This lens builds upon the best parts of the original and makes them even better while simultaneously reducing weight by 29%—making this lens the lightest in its class. Sony has also given this lens a brand-new AF system that promises up to four times the speed and has made plenty of optical optimizations that will appeal to video shooters, including improvements to focus breathing and focus shift. Whether you shoot portraits, sports, landscapes, or video, the 70-200mm f/2.8 will get the job done.

I plan to use this with an a1 w/ the verified grip attached and Xlr show mounted with a mic. Given the extra weight on the camera, should a tripod still be mounted to the collar? Or will I need to purchase a lens support system and attach the tripod to the camera?
A lens support system would be ideal. All the gear you have is pretty pricey. The lens support will guarantee that everything will work as it should.

Would it be possible to use an 82mm step up ring with the lens hood? It might be a long shot, but the hood seems like it might be big enough, and I really would prefer to have only one set of filters (especially because I'm considering transitioning to an expensive magnetic filter set).
You cannot use the included hood on the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens with a 77-82mm step-up ring.
