The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is a remarkable upgrade to the G Master series, offering an even smaller and lighter design while retaining outstanding performance. This fast standard zoom lens is ideal for both photo and video applications, delivering exceptional image quality, rapid autofocus, and advanced video capabilities. The lens features a bright constant f/2.8 aperture, allowing for excellent low-light performance and a shallow depth of field, making it perfect for a variety of shooting situations.

Optically, the lens incorporates two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) and two Super ED elements, which effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color fidelity. Five aspherical elements, including two extreme aspherical (XA) elements, minimize spherical aberrations and distortion while improving the bokeh quality. A new Nano AR Coating II reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring greater contrast and image clarity.

The redesigned focusing system with four XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors delivers fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance. This improvement supports shooting at up to 30 fps, continuous autofocus during zooming, and excellent tracking of fast-moving subjects. The lens features a floating focus mechanism that ensures high image quality across the entire focus range, even for close-up shots. The minimum focusing distance is 8.3 inches at 24mm and 11.8 inches at 70mm, with a maximum magnification of 0.32x.

For video shooters, the lens minimizes focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift during zooming, ensuring smooth, consistent footage. The manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for silent operation, while the zoom smoothness can be adjusted.
