Maximum sharpness, captivating detail
“As an ad photographer working mostly with sports and action
photography, a fast telephoto is part of my everyday equipment.
The narrow angle of view increases the depth and concentrates
the view on what’s important. I can also make the subject ll
the frame, even if I have to photograph from some distance.
I rst used the new SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 in
Portugal, photographing surfers. The high-quality look and
feel impressed me the moment I picked it up. This telephoto
feels really good in your hand. It's also protected against
rain and dust, which was great during my session: I could
just wipe away spraying salt water and sand later.
However, the most important arguments for the SP 70-200mm G2
are hiding inside the cylinder. The sharpness is incredible and makes
photos look like they were taken with a prime lens. It captures every
detail – perfect when working with high-resolution pro cameras. It
also shows the advantages of image stabilisation. The autofocus is
lightning-quick. The hit rate is extremely high, even though the surfer
would often only shoot out from between waves at the last moment.

SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2
The next generation of fast telephoto lenses, with faster autofocus and VC
image stabilisation for the highest performance and best image quality.
High resolution and
attractive bokeh
The SP 70-200mm F/2.8 G2
offers outstanding optical
performance. XLD and LD
lens elements prevent image
aberrations. The large F/2.8
aperture makes for beauti-
ful, butter-soft background
blur (known as bokeh).
Fast auto-focus and VC
image stabiliser
The VC image stabilisation,
the world's
best in this class

,
allows up to 5 EV stops

longer exposure times. The SP
70-200mm F/2.8 G2 has three
types of VC mode for optimum
performance in any situation.
Large image ratio thanks to
low MOD
The minimum object distance
of just 0.95 metres allows a
maximum image ratio of 1:6.1.
This allows photographers
to take impressive close-up
shots that would not have
been possible before.
