Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS

      

A favorite lens among working photographers, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS is the workhorse telephoto zoom that covers everything from portrait-length to medium-tele fields of view. This focal length versatility, coupled with the bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture and integrated image stabilization, makes for a flexible choice in a variety of lighting conditions. As a G Master lens, it also sports advanced optics, including aspherical and low-dispersion elements and a Nano AR coating, along with robust weather-sealed construction. Additionally, helping to keep up with moving subjects, this 70-200mm uses a double linear motor system and a ring drive Super Sonic wave Motor to deliver fast and accurate autofocus performance.
