Sony SEL70200G 70-200mm Interchangeable Lens for Sony
Alpha Cameras. Angle of View 34°-12° 30' The small size, versatile 35mm focal
length, and outstanding overall performance of this Carl Zeiss Sonnar T lens
make it an ideal match for compact 35mm full frame format E-mount bodies.
Although the optical design is state-of-the-art, this superb wide angle lens
remains true to the original Sonnar concept with a bright F2.8 maximum
aperture (“Sonne” means “sun” in German). Three double-sided aspherical
elements minimize aberration so that stunning contrast and resolution are
maintained right out to the image edges at all apertures. The renowned T lens
coating contributes to natural color reproduction as well. When changing your
aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This
‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular
aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat
sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α
lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture
almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2
stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.
Effectively suppress reflections that can cause flare and ghosting with Sony’s
original Nano AR Coating technology. This precisely defined regular nano-
structure allows accurate light transmission, contributing to high-quality
images, even more so than lenses with coatings that use an irregular nano-
structure. The reflection suppression characteristic of the Nano AR Coating is
superior to conventional anti-reflective coatings, providing a notable
improvement in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality. As focal lengths
get longer, lenses built with conventional optical glass have difficulties
with chromatic aberration, and as a result images suffer from lower contrast,
lower color quality, and lower resolution. ED glass dramatically reduces
chromatic aberration at telephoto ranges, and provides superior contrast
across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass
provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration. Aspherical lens
design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size
and weight. Spherical aberration is a slight misalignment of the light rays
projected on the image plane. This is caused by differences in refraction at
different points on conventional spherical lenses which degrade image quality
in large-aperture lenses. Specially shaped “aspherical” elements near the
diaphragm restore alignment of light rays at the image plane, maintaining high
sharpness and contrast even at maximum aperture and can also be used at other
points in the optical path to reduce distortion. Well-designed aspherical
elements can reduce the total number of elements required in the lens, thus
reducing overall size and weight. Advanced Aspherical (AA) elements are an
evolved variant, featuring an extremely high thickness ratio between the
center and periphery. AA elements are exceedingly difficult to produce,
relying on the most advanced molding technology to consistently and precisely
achieve the required shape and surface accuracy, resulting in significantly
improved image accuracy and quality. Once you’ve adjusted focus to where you
want it, pressing this button on the lens barrel will keep the lens locked to
that focusing distance. The preview function can also be assigned to this
button through the camera’s custom settings. This function allows you to set a
limit on the focusing range which can save you time during AF operation as the
lens will not ‘hunt’ through the entire focusing range. In macro lenses, this
limit can be on either the near or far range (as pictured). In the SAL70200G,
the limit is set on far ranges only. In the SAL300F28G, focusing can be
limited either to a far range or to a range that you specify yourself. Only
the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall
length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits include fast
autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at
the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if you’re using a
polarizing filter. Aluminum alloy is used in the construction of the G Lenses
and other high-end lenses to ensure high optical performance. This material is
lightweight, durable, and highly resistant to the effects of temperature
change. Gyro sensors built into the lens detect even the slightest movement,
and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to counteract any image blur
that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear motors and technology
inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders results in exceptionally
quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes to high-quality movies
as well as stills. The dust and moisture resistance design makes this lens
appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera
that employs weather resistant measures. 2014 Sony Electronics All rights
