An unparalleled F2.8 tele-Zoom
The most advanced technology available has been applied to the G-Master series, further optimizing the highly acclaimed performance of the Sony G Lens. In this model, an optimized G Lens bokeh effect is combined with new levels of resolution in a superbly consistent F2.8 tele-Zoom that offers unsurpassed imaging, ultra-fast autofocus, and exceptional image stabilization.
Impressive detail and bokeh in one lens.
Specially designed to resolve spatial frequencies with excellent contrast, this lens features three aspherical elements, such as a double-sided element and a newly developed XA (extreme aspherical) element with 0.01 micron surface precision to effectively control aberrations, for amazing resolution and stunning bokeh effects.
Natural images without distracting colors
aberrations, which can be a problem with telephoto lenses, are comprehensively suppressed through the use of four extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements and two super-aspherical glass elements. Bleeding is prevented, allowing the subject to be captured with maximum sharpness.
Superior close-up performance
Premium close-up performance with a minimum focus distance of 0.96m and 0.25x maximum magnification is perfect for portraits, macro shooting, and more. Elements that provide further optimization include ED glass elements and a smooth focus mechanism that controls deviations that can cause problems in close-up applications.
Fast autofocus optimized for stills and video
Two heavy focus groups are positioned quickly and precisely by separate actuators: a powerful Super Sonic wave motor (ultrasonic motor) actuator for the front group and a dual linear motor actuator for the rear group. Improved positioning precision with feedback from multiple position sensors in real time allows the body's autofocus system to operate at full capacity.
Further optimizations for spot-on-movie autofocus.
The dual linear motor of the focusing system performs the role of "sweep" activation for the autofocus contrast detection system when shooting video. The optical design effectively minimizes "breathing" and provides quiet mechanics for higher focusing performance, which is particularly well-suited for both movie and photo shooting.
Operation and reliability optimized for outdoor shooting
The solid construction with constant lens length during focusing and Zooming contributes to excellent handling in the widest possible range of shooting situations. Focus hold buttons can hold the metering field in permanent autofocus even during operation, and a focus range limiter switch can be used to use a preset range for the focus distance, achieving maximum autofocus speed.
11 blades for gorgeous bokeh
The circular aperture of Sony has previously used up to 9 blades. This lens incorporates a circular aperture with 11 blades, taking bokeh quality to a new level of dynamic beauty with natural highlights.
Clear images with high contrast
The Sony advanced nano-coating technology provides a special lens coating with a well-defined regular nano-structure that effectively suppresses reflections that can cause light flare and ghosting. This provides noticeable improvements in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality.(1. Nano anti-reflective coating/2. Glass/3. Transmitted light)
Detachable rotatable tripod mount
This versatile lens tripod mount allows the camera to be quickly removed from the tripod in shooting situations where a quick hand-held response is required. It also features a rotating mechanism that allows quick switching between landscape and portrait orientations. A locking mechanism prevents accidental unlocking.
Stability with the goal of sharp, blur-free images
High-quality image stabilization is built right into the lens, resulting in sharp, blur-free images for a wide range of subjects. The heavy stabilizer element is driven by a linear motor to ensure fast and precise image stabilization. 5-axis image stabilization becomes available with α-series bodies that have built-in image stabilization.
Smooth shooting even when panning
To make the most of the built-in image stabilization system for the widest possible range of shooting situations, the SEL70200GM features switchable MODE 2 stabilization, which allows image stabilization to be used in panning shots, providing greater clarity and expression.
High reliability in the toughest conditions
A dust- and moisture-resistant design and fluorine-coated front elements provide additional protection for reliable operation even in harsh conditions.
