Overview

The Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G SSM II offers crisp image quality throughout the zoom range and fast, quiet autofocus thanks to its SSM motor. Its build features a hard plastic barrel with smooth, rubberized focusing and zoom rings, plus three focus hold buttons and a tripod collar. However, it is heavy at 2.87 pounds, which can cause fatigue during extended handheld use. This lens suits photographers who need a fast, durable telephoto zoom for action or events and are willing to manage its weight with a tripod or monopod.
