Sony's latest GM 70-200mm f/2.8 — dramatically lighter with faster AF than the original, a new class leader.
The Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II launched in 2021 as a transformative update to Sony's professional telephoto zoom. At just 1045g it is nearly 500g lighter than the original GM while improving optical performance and AF speed — a remarkable engineering achievement.
Optically outstanding — sharper than the already-excellent original GM with improved corner performance. Four XD Linear Motors provide the fastest AF in any 70-200mm f/2.8. OSS stabilisation. Close focus to 40cm at 70mm with 0.3x magnification. Minimal focus breathing.
Sony FE mount with 77mm filter thread. 1045g — class-leading light weight for 70-200mm f/2.8. Full dust and moisture resistance. 11 rounded aperture blades. Aperture ring with click/de-click. Fluorine coating. Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount.
Available used at professional prices — strong demand keeps values high. The weight reduction alone justifies the upgrade from the GM I. The lightest 70-200mm f/2.8 from any major manufacturer. For Sony shooters, this is the definitive professional telephoto zoom.
