Remaining a portable, workaday stalwart for events, sports, and portraiture, this latest iteration expands its capabilities into video and macro applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImproved Optical Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest change to the optical design of the lens is the introduction of a floating focusing element, enabling the lens' high-resolution .5x \"half-macro\" magnification, shrinking the minimum focusing distance to 10.2\" at 70mm. This increased resolution is available across the entirety of the zoom range, as is the lens' improved corner-to-corner sharpness. The lens features aspherical, Advanced Aspherical, Super Extra-low dispersion, and extra-low dispersion aspherical elements to reduce and suppress chromatic and spherical aberrations. Nano AR Coating II controls flare and ghosting, while the rounded, nine-blade diaphragm supplies the lens with its soft, smooth bokeh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFaster, Video-Optimised Autofocus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChief among the 70-200mm f\/4 II's enhancements is its faster, video-optimised autofocus system. Featuring 4 XD Linear motors, two for each of the lens' focus groups, the lens now performs 20% faster than its predecessor and supports focus tracking while zooming. The new autofocus system also works with the Alpha 1's blackout-free 30 fps high-speed continuous shooting, double the rate of the f\/4 OSS I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those eager to apply the lens' virtues to video, Sony has introduced several features from their cinema division. The new autofocus system has near-silent operation while dramatically reducing focus breathing and focus shift. The Linear Response MF system to ensures a consistent, natural-feeling operation, while the full-time Direct Manual Focus (DMF) feature makes it easy to make quick adjustments using the focus ring while in AF modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRounding out the improvements to image quality, the lens' built-in SteadyShot optical image stabilisation is designed to work in tandem with the camera body's stabilisation system to ensure sharp images while shooting handheld even at the longest focal lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRedesigned for Portability and Durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn reconfiguring the 70-200mm f\/4 II, Sony has kept in mind both the endurance of the lens and its user, reducing both the length and weight of the optic by 15% to 5.8\" and 1.7 lb, respectively. The internal zoom mechanism minimises front-heaviness to reduce strain while focusing, while its dust- and moisture-resistant design and rubber control rings make it suitable for inclement conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTeleconverter Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FE 70-200mm f\/4 GM OSS II is compatible with Sony's optional FE 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. These teleconverters allow for life-size, 1:1 macro photography throughout the entire zoom range. When used, the 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters will provide effective focal lengths and apertures of 98-280mm f\/5.6 and 140-400mm f\/8, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull-Frame G Series Zoom Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ef\/4 to f\/22 Aperture Range\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.5x Magnification Throughout Zoom Range\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptical SteadyShot Image Stabilisation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25.9 cm Minimum Focusing Distance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust and Moisture-Resistant Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSony FE 70-200mm f\/4 G OSS II - Second Hand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Second Hand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50883781263527,"sku":"SH-SONY702004II-SH","price":864.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4083\/0375\/files\/SH-SONY702004II-SH_b2c84c47-46ea-40b9-b9af-ee0fdf5a55b9.jpg?v=1781526529","url":"https:\/\/www.georges.com.au\/products\/sony-fe-70-200mm-f-4-g-oss-ii-second-hand","provider":"Georges Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
