Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II

Name: FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II
Brand: Sony
Availability: InStock

The Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II is a landmark telephoto zoom — dramatically lighter than its predecessor (down from 1480g to 1045g) without sacrificing optical performance. Tack-sharp across the zoom range, with fast dual XD linear motor AF, built-in OSS stabilisation, and the consistent f/2.8 aperture that sports and event photographers demand.

GearFrame's Take

The best 70-200mm f/2.8 ever made — lighter, sharper, and faster than anything before it.
