About the Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM II

Movie-focused features include reduced focus breathing, reduced focus shift and axis shift when zooming, and a new aperture drive unit with XD Linear Motors for quiet operation. A click on and off switch for the aperture is included, and the independent control rings give direct control of focus, zoom and iris.

Optical image stabilisation offers MODE 1, MODE 2 and MODE 3 settings for sharp images, and the front element is fluorine coated. The dust and moisture resistant design helps maximise reliability in tough environments, though it is not guaranteed to be 100 percent dust and moisture proof. Sold separately, 1.4x and 2x teleconverters are available. Some camera bodies may need a software update, so check Sony's support page for compatibility.

A 0.01-micron surface precision XA element suppresses onion ring bokeh, and the new aperture unit contributes to natural circular bokeh. Compared with the previous model, this lens offers a 30% gain that greatly increases your chances of getting the shot.
