Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens

Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens - SEL70200GMThe new Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens represents another step forward in photographic technology. This G Master 35mm, full-frame, telephoto zoom lens is a great choice for professional photographers who require the best optical performance possible. A standard zoom lens is a lens in which the focal length varies, unlike a prime or fixed lens. A zoom lens is also one that maintains (or regains) focus even with a focal length of the subject-matter changes. Zoom lenses, such as this, provide the user with a convenient, go-to lens of variable focal length. This lens utilizes 3 aspherical elements including one newly developed XA element to reduce chromatic aberration and provide softly dissolving bokeh without sacrificing image resolution at any point in the zoom or aperture range. This means that the out-of-focus points of light in your photos retain a soft, blurry look as opposed to the harsh rings that can occur with lower-quality lenses. To further improve image quality, the zoom lens features Sony's Nano AR coating that reduces the amount of light that's reflected by the lens and helps reduce flare and image ghosting. It also has a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture that allows you to more easily maintain exposure settings while zooming in and out, as well as a mechanized autofocus and image stabilization system for sharp shots even when at maximum zoom range. This means bokeh at any distance! Constant f/2.8 Maximum ApertureShooting in low-light situations is always challenging, but the lens' constant f/2.8 maximum aperture ensures that you'll get great-looking pictures in any light and at any zoom range. You won't have to worry about readjusting exposure settings, either, as this lens maintains its settings as you zoom in and out. Extreme Aspherical (XA) Lens ElementNewly developed XA technology helps ensure that your photos will maintain beautiful corner-to-corner resolution regardless of how much you move through the zoom range. It also helps eliminate chromatic aberration so your photos always have the most vibrant colors possible. Another advantage of XA technology is the smooth, soft bokeh it provides. The harsh rings that can appear in out-of-focus light sources are eliminated by the FE 70-200mm, providing you with even more artistic possibilities regardless of whether you're shooting stills or video footage. Extra Low Dispersion (ED) Glass ElementsThe 4 separate ED glass elements and 2 separate Super ED glass elements that are built into the lens body work in conjunction with the XA lens element to further reduce chromatic aberrations. These elements reduce axial chromatic aberration without reducing resolution so your pictures will have a stunning level of texture and detail without sacrificing vibrant, lifelike colors. Advanced Nano AR CoatingThe SEL70200GM features Sony's Nano AR coating that reduces the amount of light that's reflected by the lens and helps reduce lens flare and image ghosting. By reducing the amount of reflected light, this coating improves clarity, contrast, and overall image quality as well. Image Stabilization SystemThe FE 70-200mm uses an onboard computerized image stabilization system to ensure sharp pictures even when shooting objects at maximum zoom. The stabilization lens is driven by a motor for fast response time and there's even a setting that allows use of the stabilization system while simultaneously panning.
