A precision zoom lens with bright aperture and fast, quiet auto-focus response. Specially designed for the digital imagers on Sony α DSLR cameras, the superb G Series SAL-70200G telephoto zoom lens covers a broad range of frequent telephoto shooting situations. Its 70-200mm range (105-300mm on bodies with an APS-size sensor), fast f/2.8 aperture and quiet, high-speed SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) auto-focus precision makes it ideal for long-distance sports and wildlife photography.

SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)

A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop response, and quiet, smooth operation.

2 DMF (Direct Manual Focus) Modes

Allow you to quickly revert to manual focus by just turning the manual focus ring of the lens.

Internal Focusing System

Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change -- creating a zoom lens that focuses more quickly and doesn’t affect the balance of your camera.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass

Four precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations and deliver visually accurate results even at full telephoto zoom extension.

Versatile Focus Hold

Three focus hold buttons in different lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector switch.

Had to make a choice...

Pros: A sharp, fast, exceptional zoom lens.

Cons: As always, one must pay for this level of lens.

I had a SAL70300G that I was quite happy with, until I started running into more and more situations where a faster lens was called for. I finally made the decision to go to the SAL70200G. I am very well satisfied with the value to cost ratio. This lens more than makes up for the -100mm differance with its f2.8 speed. For my most common shooting situations, it's a trade off I can live with. Its sharpness is something quite exceptional. The weight of the lens is generally balanced for me on the a900 with V-grip. This is further aided by the lens' internal zoom and focus system. As I said in a previous review, I am not the world's greatest zoom lens fan, but Sony is most certainly doing their level best to convert me.

Amazing

Pros: The whole package

Cons: Pricey but worth it

This lens is the best in its class as far as imaging goes as it produces beautiful professional grade imaging at every shutter release.

The functional controls are well positioned ands its defenately a favorite for short -long range shooting Just great glass
