Incredible shooting experience

• Telephoto zoom lens allows you to capture vivid images and offers unsurpassed rendering, blazing AF, and extraordinary image stabilization performance
• Compatible with Sony APC-C and full-frame E-mount mirrorless ILC cameras
• 70mm to 200mm zoom focal length is versatile enough to capture a wide range of shots in varied depths and dimensions
• f/2.8 maximum aperture delivers sharp, detailed images with a shallow depth of field and a soft-blurred background
• Full size, heavy lens is driven by a linear motor for fast, precise stabilization
• 5-axis image stabilisation captures smooth images, even at full zoom or while the subject is moving
• Switchable Mode 2 stabilization lets you use image stabilization with panned shots to deliver clear, blur-free images

Take your photography to the next level

• Advanced double-linear actuator for the rear and ring SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) actuator for the front offer the precision and power required to deliver premium images and footage
• Floating focus mechanism reduces distortion and aberration that normally limits close-up performance

Precise focus for perfect pictures

• Minimum focusing distance of 0.96m (3.15ft.) and magnification up to 0.25x are perfect for capturing telephoto macro, portraits, and more
• 11-blade circular aperture creates a pleasant bokeh with natural looking highlights
• Fast autofocus is optimised for both images and videos

Stunning details with every shot

• An XA (extreme aspherical) element with 0.01-micron surface precision contributes to previously unachievable resolution and stunning bokeh for new expressive potential
• Four ED and two Super ED glass elements supress chromatic aberration to deliver maximum resolution and true-to-life colours at varied focal lengths
• ED glass elements and a floating focus mechanism control aberrations in close-up shots
• Three aspherical elements that include one double-sided and one newly developed XA (extreme aspherical) element with 0.01-micron surface precision, to control aberration and produce striking bokeh

Enhanced image quality

• Improved positioning precision allows the AF system to operate at maximum capacity
• Advanced nano AR coating technology minimises reflection to prevent ghosting and blur, and improve the overall clarity of images
• Improved positioning precision and multiple position sensors offer real-time feedback to ensure the body's AF system works at full capacity

Smooth and versatile operation

• Optical design reduces focus breathing and ensures quiet mechanical operation that is ideal for movies as well as stills
• Focus hold buttons hold the focus point during continuous AF operation
• Focus range limiter switch lets you adjust the lens focus to a wide range of distance
• Accommodates 77mm-diameter filters for optimised shooting

Even more features

• Revolving mechanism lets you switch between portrait and landscape mode easily
• Lock mechanism prevents accidental detachment of the camera from the tripod
• Dust and moisture-resistant design with fluorine front-element coating provides extra protection, making it safe for use in harsh outdoor weather
• Removable rotating tripod mount lets you quickly remove the camera from the tripod when you need to get handheld shots
