The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM is a high-performance standard zoom lens designed for Sony’s E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Known for its versatility, this lens is ideal for a variety of applications, including landscape, portrait, sports, and event photography. With a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, the lens offers excellent low-light performance and allows for precise control over depth of field, making it perfect for both wide-angle and telephoto shots.
As part of Sony’s esteemed G Master series, the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM delivers outstanding resolution, sharpness, and clarity. It incorporates advanced optical elements, including three aspherical elements (one of which is an XA element for superior surface precision) that help minimize spherical aberrations and other optical imperfections. One extra-low dispersion (ED) element and one Super ED element further reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring accurate color reproduction and high contrast.
The lens also features a Nano AR Coating to reduce reflections, flare, and ghosting, enhancing image contrast and color fidelity, even in challenging lighting conditions. The nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to smooth and pleasing bokeh for selective focus techniques.
For fast and precise autofocus, the FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM uses a Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave (DDSSM) motor and an internal focus mechanism. This allows for quick, quiet, and reliable autofocus performance, with additional manual focus control for finer adjustments. A focus hold button and AF/MF switch provide intuitive handling, and the lens is built to withstand the elements with a dust- and moisture-sealed design.
