The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM2 Lens sets a new standard in compact, high-performance wide-angle zooms. As the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame F2.8 lens in this category, it weighs just 547g and measures only 4.5 inches in length, making it a highly portable option for photographers and videographers alike. Despite its compact size, this lens delivers exceptional image quality, thanks to its advanced optical design that includes XA (extreme aspherical) elements, Super ED glass, and five aspherical elements in total. This combination ensures sharp, high-resolution images even at the edges of the frame, with minimal aberration.

The lens is designed to provide stunning bokeh thanks to its large F2.8 maximum aperture and innovative 11-blade aperture unit. This allows for smooth, beautiful background blur that enhances subject isolation and adds artistic depth to wide-angle shots. Whether shooting landscapes, architecture, or portraits, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM2 consistently produces vivid, detailed images with rich bokeh.

Autofocus performance is lightning-fast and smooth, powered by four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors and a floating focus mechanism. These advanced technologies result in up to twice the speed of previous models, enabling reliable subject tracking and continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second on compatible cameras. This makes the lens ideal for high-speed action, wildlife, and fast-moving subjects.

Close-up performance is another highlight, with a minimum focusing distance of just 8.7 inches (0.22 m) across the entire zoom range, allowing for dynamic perspectives and creative close-up shots. Additionally, the lens reduces focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift, making it an excellent choice for smooth, professional-quality video recording.

The FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM2 also features robust build quality, with dust and moisture resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging shooting conditions. Whether you’re capturing wide vistas, architectural details, or cinematic footage, this lens delivers exceptional image quality and performance for both stills and video work.
