Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS II sample gallery
Sony's new FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS II covers a classic zoom range in a relatively compact package. We put it to the test shooting a variety of subjects: surfing, kayaking, birds and an Independence Day pet parade. We even managed to sneak in a couple of mountain landscape photos.
The lens is quick to focus, thanks to its four XD linear motors, and with a minimum focus distance of 0.26m (10.2") it allows you to get close to your subject. It provides 1:2 macro capability across the zoom, which increases to 1:1 when used with a 2x teleconverter. Speaking of teleconverters, the lens is compatible with Sony's 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, ensuring you can add some extra range to the long end when needed. We've included a number of images shot with the SEL14TC (1.4x) teleconverter so you can see how image quality stacks up with a converter attached.
Check out the photos and let us know what you think of the image quality in the comments.

Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
