Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS review

 

A high-spec telephoto zoom designed for the Sony Alpha a7 range

Extends the appeal of Sony's a7-series cameras ; Near-silent autofocus ; Focus hold buttons

Disappointing performance for price ; Big and heavy ; Below-average image stabilization

Overall image quality isn't quite as good as from most competing lenses on test, which is disappointing considering the price.

Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS Review

 

John Riley reviews the 70-200mm f/4 G OSS lens, a full-frame telephoto zoom lens for Sony E and FE mount cameras.

Whereas most 70-200mm lenses have a bright f/2.8 aperture, Sony has opted here to try and maintain the Alpha 7 concept of a compact full frame system. The f/4 aperture is not much of a disadvantage, even an advantage in terms of size and cost, and the...

Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS

 

The Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS is a sharp zoom lens for Sony's full-frame mirrorless system, although it doesn't deliver the f/2.8 aperture that many photographers desire.

Image stabilization. Very sharp. Full-frame coverage. Includes hood and tripod collar.

Some distortion. Large. Not an f/2.8 zoom

The Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS is a serious lens, and another sign that Sony is committed to making its full-frame mirrorless system one that's known for image quality. It's sharp throughout its range, it includes a focus limiter function, and its image...

Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS Review

 

The Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS is an excellent telephoto zoom lens for Sony's full-frame compact system cameras. It delivers outstanding sharpness in the centre of the frame almost throughout its entire aperture and zoom range, even performing well...

Sony FE 70-200mm f4G OSS

 

Some may wish it had been f2.8 instead, but such lenses are much heavier and more expensive, and often don't perform as well as their f4 counterparts. I believe Sony's kept the apertures modest on its first batch of full-frame mirrorless lenses for...

Useful telephoto range with high quality images., Compatible with full-frame and APSC mirrorless bodies., Quick and very quiet focusing., Dust and moisture sealed., Comes supplied with tripod collar, hood and pouch.

Stabilisation is okay, but less effective than rival systems., Some may prefer an f2.8 version for speed and DOF., Bokeh rendering can look a little busy., Slightly softer at 200mm end of the range.
