Meanwhile the 2x and 1.4x teleconverters announced at the same time will also hit the shops in July, and cost \u00a3550 each.<\/p>\n<p>The lens and teleconverters are all in Sony&#8217;s premium G Master range, designed to give uncompromising optical quality on high-resolution sensors. They are dust and water-resistent for\u00a0use in poor weather.<\/p>\n<p>Sony has employed an optical design of 23 elements in 18 groups for the 70-200mm f\/2.8 lens, including an extreme aspherical (XA) element with 0.01micron manufacturing precision, In effect, this means the element has a much smoother surface compared to conventional aspheric manufacturing techniques, which Sony suggests should give much-improved\u00a0bokeh, with no &#8216;onion-ring&#8217; effect. In addition,\u00a0there\u00a0are two\u00a0conventional aspheric elements, two Super ED glass elements and four\u00a0ED glass elements to minimse chromatic aberrations. Autofocus uses a ring drive SSM to drive the main focus group towards the front of the lens, along with a\u00a0double linear motor for moving the\u00a0rear group.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\"
