Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses come with high focal length, suitable for a huge range of genres and applications. If you do not need that extra aperture, but still want the versatility of that focal length range, a 70-200mm f/4 can perform such a function effortlessly.
At about $1,000 less than 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 and long-range 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 Steady Shot image stabilization
- Dust- and weather-sealing
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
