Experience the unparalleled performance of the Fe 24-70mm f/2.8 Gm Ii Lens, a high-quality, advanced, and durable lens that showcases Sony's cutting-edge lens technology. This lens, the world's lightest full-frame F2.8 constant aperture standard zoom lens, combines stunning G Master resolution with exquisite bokeh, making it an innovative and versatile choice for both professional and enthusiast photographers.This lens is designed to maximize the potential of today's advanced still and movie cameras with its significantly evolved autofocus (AF) performance. It features two high-precision Xa (extreme aspherical) elements, two Ed (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements, and two Super Ed glass elements, all working together with a floating focus mechanism to control aberration and deliver sharp, clear images at all zoom and aperture settings.Despite its small size and light weight, this lens does not compromise on image quality. It weighs just 24.6 oz (695 g), making it over 20% lighter than the previous model. Its compact design, reduced by approximately 18% in volume, enhances mobility and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of shooting scenarios.The lens also boasts beautiful G Master bokeh that extends throughout the zoom range, thanks to advanced optics and a new 11-blade aperture unit. Two precision Xa elements suppress onion ring bokeh, while Ed glass elements prevent color bleeding for natural-looking circular bokeh.The Fe 24-70mm f/2.8 Gm Ii Lens also offers fast, precise AF and excellent response, thanks to four of Sony's original Xd (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors, a floating focus mechanism, and advanced lens control. Its new aperture unit also contributes to high speed, enabling full AF tracking performance with the aperture stopped down.This lens also excels in close-up performance, with a minimum focusing distance of just 8.3"" (0.21 m) at 24 mm and 11.8"" (0.30 m) at 70 mm, and a maximum magnification of 0.32x. Its floating focus ensures ideal sharpness throughout the zoom range and at all focusing distances, while inner focus enables impressive close-up stills or movies where space is limited.The lens also features Nano Ar Coating Ii technology, which produces a uniform anti-reflection coating on lens surfaces, effectively subduing flare and ghosting. This feature, along with the lens' design that suppresses internal reflections, ensures excellent clarity when shooting landscapes, sports, and a variety of other subjects.The Fe 24-70mm f/2.8 Gm Ii Lens is also designed with video performance in mind. Its advanced lens design reduces focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift when zooming, while Xd Linear Motors and a new aperture unit contribute to quiet, low-vibration operation. The lens also supports the breathing compensation function provided in compatible a series bodies.This lens also features a dedicated aperture ring, click/de-click and iris lock switches for direct, rapid control. An updated dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.In conclusion, the Fe 24-70mm f/2.8 Gm Ii Lens is a testament to Sony's commitment to delivering high-quality, advanced, and durable lenses that meet the needs of today's photographers.
