The Sony FE 70–200 mm F4 Makro G OSS II is a full-frame constant maximum aperture, telephoto zoom lens for the Sony E-mount, released by Sony in July 2023. It can be considered as successor of the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS, but has a magnification of 0.5 and is branded as macro lens.
Features
The name already reveals some features, such as the continuous aperture of f/4, the integrated image stabilisation. It is the second generation of the lens type. Sony claims a maximum magnification ratio of 0.5. The lens is compatible with the teleconverters SEL14TC (98–280mm) and SEL20TC (140–400mm). The latter allows an maximum magnification ratio up to 1, making it a proper macro lens. Typical for revisions of Sony lenses, this model is smaller and lighter than its predecessor.
Scope of delivery
The product contains the lens itself, a lens hood (ALC-SH176), front (ALC-F72S) and back (ALC-R1EM) lens cap and a tripod clamp. When mounted, it shifts the center of gravity on the tripod.
Image quality
The lens offers a better image quality than its predecessor.
Awards
The lens was awarded with the EISA Award 2024–2025 as the best product in the category Telephoto Zoom Lens and the TIPA World Awards 2024.
