The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Full-frame Standard Zoom G Master Lens is 20% smaller and 20% lighter than its predecessor while displaying higher quality images. It offers 15 elements in 12 groups and four major optical improvements over the original version. With a minimum focusing distance of 8.6", macro photographers can get close while benefiting from its wide focal length. Videographers will also appreciate its minimal focus breathing and reduced chromatic aberration.
High spatial resolution results in detailed rendering of dynamic wide-angle scenes right out to the image edges throughout the 16-35 mm zoom range, even with the aperture wide open. Five aspherical elements include three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, and aberration is controlled for a superb blend of high resolution and gorgeous bokeh.
The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II uses a floating focus mechanism that includes four original XD Linear Motors and precise lens control for up to approx. 2x2 faster AF speed. Continuous shooting at up to 30 fps is possible with Sony’s α1 camera. It reliably acquires focus and smoothly tracks subjects, easily achieving the critical focus required for slow motion and 4K/8K movies.
Smooth, beautiful bokeh that can add depth to this remarkable lens’s outstanding resolution is made possible by a large F2.8 maximum aperture, innovative optical design, and an advanced 11-blade aperture unit. Gorgeous circular bokeh can add extra appeal and expressive impact to a wide range of images.
