70-200mm f/2.8 lenses are highly popular workhorses, suitable for a huge range of genres and applications. That being said, they are both expensive and rather bulky. If you do not need that extra aperture to stop, but still want the versatility of that focal length range, a 70-200mm f/4 can save you both bulk and money. This excellent video review takes a look at Sony's option, the FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review takes a look at the Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS lens. At about $1,000 less that the 70-200mm f/2.8, the f/4 is an intriguing option for anyone who does not need that extra stop, such as landscape photographers, who will also appreciate its lighter weight and smaller footprint. It comes with a few significant features, including:
- Two extra-low dispersion glass elements and one Super ED element for less chromatic aberrations
- One aspherical element and two Advanced Aspherical elements for less astigmatism
- Nano AR coating for less flares and ghosting and deeper contrast
- Dual linear motors for fast autofocus
- Optical SteadyShot image stabilization
- Dust- and weather-sealing
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
Check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts on the lens.
