Description

The Sigma measures 8.1 by 3.6 inches (HD), weighs about 2.9 pounds, and uses 77mm front filters. It's about the same size as the internally zooming Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II (7.9 by 3.5 inches, 2.3 pounds) and Panasonic Lumix 70-200mm F2.8 S Pro (8.2 by 3.7, 3.5 pounds), but it splits the weight difference.

The FE 70-200mm F4 II is a G-series lens, a lineup Sony designates as suitable for enthusiasts and pros, but one that's a step below the upper-echelon GM line. G lenses include full dust and splash protection, an anti-smudge fluorine coating on the glass, and premium build materials. Sony uses a metal barrel with an off-white finish for the 70-200mm, which puts it more on the level of GM telephoto lenses. Lighter-color materials are common on long lenses because they keep the lens cooler. With this expanded capability, photographers can capture distant wildlife, sporting events, and intricate details that would otherwise be imperceptible to the naked eye. The convenience of having all these features in a single portable lens further enhances its appeal, and will no doubt make it the goto choice for a wide range of photographic situations. Proper fraction button is used to change a number of the form of 9/5 to the form of 1 4/5. A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (top number) is less than the denominator (bottom number).The lens contains 23 glass elements arranged in 17 groups. They are a combination of aspherical and Extra-Low Dispersion lenses. They suppress chromatic aberration. And ghosting and flare are kept to a minimum. This robust L-series 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens is a favourite with professional photographers, a modern classic redesigned, it’s now even better in bright light and engineered to perform in the most challenging conditions. A maximum f/2.8 aperture offers plenty of control over depth of field and – in combination with a 3.5-stop Image Stabilizer to counteract natural camera shake – makes low-light photography simple. Image quality is excellent, with superb sharpness right across the frame, a great choice for our highest resolution EOS cameras. Benefits I see no signs of false color in lab tests or real-world samples. It effectively suppresses both lateral chromatic aberration (CA), which is often visible as purple fringing around tree branches or power lines that fall within the plane of focus, and longitudinal type (LoCA), which shows up as false purple and green color in specular highlights and transitional areas away from the plane of focus.

There is only minimal loss of contrast shooting toward the sun and ghosting is not distracting at all, even when the aperture is stopped down tightly. percent crop from previous sample photo showing high resolution from the A6700 new sensor When did the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II Lens come out?

Sample action Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS II Lens @135mm with Sony A6700. Camera settings: 1/1000 sec. f/4.0. ISO 2000 Autofocus improvements The optical quality is outstanding. Telephoto lenses often suffer from chromatic aberration and distortion. But you don’t need to worry about that with this lens. You get edge-to-edge clarity throughout the zoom range. Picture quality for the Sigma holds up through f/11, drops slightly at f/16 (4,100 lines), and more noticeably declines at the minimum f/22 setting (2,800 lines). Lenses always lose resolution at very small apertures because light particles scatter as they pass through a narrow opening, so pictures look softer. But you might want to use f/16-22 for sunstars, as the lens is capable of crisp 22-point starbursts around small, bright highlights at these settings.

It’s safe to say image quality is superior to the first generation in every aspect. The table below compares key specifications between the three Sony 70-200mm lenses and highlights not only how the gap between G and GM lenses is narrowing, but how capable, and portable more evolved lenses are becoming.

A key attraction of choosing an f/4 zoom over an f/2.8 is that it’s likely to be more compact and lightweight. That was certainly true of the original Sony lens and the Mark II takes downsizing a step further, shaving 15 per cent off the length and 46g off the weight. Sony has improved image quality in their new 70-200 f/4 telephoto zoom lens through an optical formula and floating focusing design, which includes six special glass elements. This ensures that the FE 70-200mm f/4 G II is able to deliver higher image quality across the frame, at all focal widths. A bayonet hood would be more convenient, even if it meant dropping the rubber bumper that's at the front of the lens barrel. It's an uncommon feature that adds a bit of protection to the front element and filter ring, at the slight cost of some filter compatibility. Regular 77mm filters are not an issue with the lens, but the bumper might interfere with specialized filters like the H&Y RevoRing Variable ND; its adjustable threads can't get close enough to thread in. (Credit: Jim Fisher) A dust and moisture resistant design, along with versatile controls on this Sony tele-photo lens makes it ideal to use in the most difficult scenarios - both indoors and outdoors. For comparison, the FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II is sharper, with excellent results throughout the range wide-open and with outstanding (5,000 lines) contrast stopped down on the same a7R IV body. It's one of the reasons Sony marks it as a GM lens and drops the F4 edition down to G status.

Less of an Achilles heel, more a slight tweak of the angle, the Mark II fares rather worse than the original lens for distortion. Pincushion is noticeable at 70mm and gets steadily worse as you extend through the zoom range. Even so, automatic in-camera is available which effectively makes it a non-issue. Verdict

Nikon Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Review

The Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 is a must-have lens for Nikon mirrorless cameras. The low-light performance is excellent. You get sharp images at every point in the zoom range. And it’s an excellent choice for videographers too. The Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L is the best lens for Canon mirrorless cameras. The lens quality is incredible. It has two AF motors for ultra-fast focusing. And it has built-in image stabilization for consistently sharp images. It delivers professional results for everything from sports to portrait photography. However, these lenses are designed for pros, and as such they tend to come with hefty pro-level price tags. If you're looking for something a little more budget-friendly, 70-200mm f/4 lenses can also be a good choice. They have the advantage of being lighter to carry, so can be a great choice for keeping your kit relatively lightweight and mobile. Some 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses, as we'll see, are seriously hefty bits of kit! You can increase the reach of the newer zoom lens with either of the Sony FE 1.4x and Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverters. This is a bold move which may entice some photographers who were considering the GM lens, although adding a TC will reduce your aperture by one and two stops respectively, which favours the GM’s brighter aperture. That said, you can still achieve gorgeous bokeh effects at f/4.0 and narrower apertures, as demonstrated by the professional Sony 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 GM lens. This section goes into more detail about the best 70-200mm lenses. We receive a lot of questions on this topic, so we’ve answered the most common ones. The answers will help you find the best 70-200mm lens to improve your photography. What Are 70-200mm Lenses Good For?
