The little brother of the famed f/2.8 version, the FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS packs the same focal-length versatility as the faster version but trades in a stop of speed for a more lightweight and compact design. As a G lens, a wealth of specialized elements is used to produce well-controlled imagery, and a Nano AR coating is also featured for high contrast and color accuracy. Dual linear motors and an internal focusing design yield fast and responsive AF, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization also helps to steady camera shake for sharper results.
Applications: Versatile telephoto zoom couples with a slower f/4 design to render a lightweight option covering the useful 70-200mm range. Optical SteadyShot makes it perfect for handheld use when photographing sports, events, and portrait sessions, and the lens also comes with a removable tripod collar for stable long exposures.
