Sony FE 24 – 70 mm F2.8 GM II

Next Generation G Master Standard Zoom
The ultimate FE 24 - 70mm F2.8 GM standard zoom lens combines advanced optics and AF performance in a convenient, compact and lightweight design, offering full mobility for both stills and video. Suitable for a variety of situations, it is an ideal choice for high-performance compact α System bodies.

High resolution reaches the level of elite lenses
Excellent contrast at high spatial frequencies, for sublime resolution at F2.8. Two ultra-precise XA lenses, two ED lenses, two Super ED lenses and floating focus control chromatic aberration, astigmatism, distortion and coma. Anti-reflective Nano-coating II reduces glare and ghosting for exceptional clarity.

Beautiful G Master bokeh
Sublime F2.8 bokeh covers the focal range with advanced optics and 11-blade aperture. It benefits from precise control of spherical aberration during design and manufacturing. Two ultra-precise XA lenses mitigate "onion ring" bokeh. Minimum focusing distance is 0.21m at 24mm, and 0.30m at 70mm, with a maximum magnification of 0.32x.

Most compact, lightweight2 and versatile in its class
Small and lightweight2, this 24 - 70mm F2.8 lens offers unprecedented freedom and flexibility. It weighs 695g, 191g less than the previous model. Its length has been reduced by 16mm, and its overall volume by about 18%. Its amazing portability and mobility make it a benchmark for professionals and amateurs alike, for photos and videos in a wide range of situations.

Fast, accurate autofocus and excellent responsiveness
Four XD linear motors, the floating mechanism and advanced lens control ensure precise autofocus, and tracking performance with zoom enabled is double that of its predecessor3. With the compatible body, it can shoot at 30 frames per second4. The new aperture contributes to the speed. You get powerful AF tracking performance, even with the aperture reduced5.

Optimized Video Features for Creators
New lens technology reduces unwanted shot lag and angle variations for smooth, expressive images. XD linear motors improve autofocus and tracking performance, enabling high frame rate recording for greater detail. The focus and aperture rings are independent, and the linear response manual focus ensures a direct, linear response.

Reliability and control in all situations
The waterproof design6 is ideal for harsh outdoor conditions. The fluorine coating protects the front lens from dirt. Openable lens hood (included) simplifies use of optional variable neutral density and circular polarizing filters. Two customizable focus lock buttons promote simplified control in any shooting orientation.

High resolution reaches the level of elite lenses
Excellent contrast at high spatial frequencies for sublime resolution at F2.8. Two high-precision XA (Extreme Aspherical) lenses, two ED (Extra Low Dispersion) glass lenses, two Super ED glass lenses, and a floating focus mechanism control aberration for clear, sharp images at all zoom and aperture settings.

Reduced glare and ghosting
Nano II anti-reflective coating technology evenly coats the lens surfaces and tames flare and ghosting. The lens design reduces internal reflections that can impair clarity when shooting landscapes, sports scenes and many other subjects. This excellent clarity is also an asset for live streaming and similar events.

Beautiful G Master bokeh
Sublime bokeh at F2.8 covers the focal range thanks to the advanced optics and the new 11-blade aperture. Bokeh is optimized by precise control of spherical aberration during design and manufacturing. Two precision XA lenses reduce "onion ring" bokeh, while ED glass lenses prevent chromatic aberration to produce a more natural circular bokeh.

Excellent close-up performance
Minimum focusing distance is 0.21m at 24mm, and 0.30m at 70mm, with a maximum magnification of 0.32x. The deep bokeh at F2.8 is perfect for close-ups. The floating focus mechanism provides ideal sharpness across the entire focal length range and at all focus distances, while its internal configuration produces spectacular close-ups for photos or video when space is at a premium.

Fast, accurate autofocus and excellent responsiveness
Four Sony-exclusive XD (Extreme Dynamic Range) linear motors, a floating focus mechanism and advanced lens control provide extremely accurate tracking and autofocusing. Shoot at up to 30 frames per second3 with a compatible camera body. The new aperture also contributes to the speed. You get powerful auto-focus tracking performance with the reduced aperture4.

Optimized Video Features for Creators
With its advanced design, the lens offers reduced focus breathing, as well as correction for axis and focus shifts when zooming. Image and viewing angle shifts are minimized for smooth video. XD linear motors and a new aperture system ensure quiet, low-vibration operation. The breath compensation function available on compatible α-series bodies is also supported5.

Smooth and quiet autofocus for video
Focusing is crucial for slow-motion, 4K or 8K video. When paired with α-series bodies, this lens provides reliable focus and smooth tracking of moving subjects. Its four XD linear motors and advanced control technology provide extraordinarily accurate autofocusing. Subject tracking is smooth, allowing you to leave the focus management to the camera.

Natural, linear manual focus response
Linear response manual focus ensures a direct, linear response from the zoom ring when precise control is required. Repeat actions also gain precision. Rotating the focus ring causes an immediate change in focus, providing instant and precise control when capturing still images or video.

Compact, lightweight and versatile
The most compact and lightweight 24-70mm F2.8 zoom lens in its class6. It weighs 695g, 20% less than the previous model. Its length has been reduced by 16mm, and its overall volume by about 18%. Its excellent mobility makes it an excellent choice for professional or amateur photographers or videographers in a wide range of situations.

Zoom smoothness switch
The torque of the zoom ring is adjustable via the two-position switch. In the Tight position, the barrel cannot accidentally extend during transport or when the lens is used on a tripod. The Smooth position allows light zooming for responsive and flexible shooting, while facilitating slow, smooth zooming effects for video.

Aperture Ring and Iris Lock Switches
The aperture ring offers quick, direct control. The aperture ring clicks can be turned on for tactile feedback when shooting photos, or off for smooth, quiet control when shooting video. An iris lock switch prevents accidental operation of the aperture ring between the [A] and F2.8 ~ F22 settings.

Customizable focus lock buttons
The two customizable focus lock buttons provide easier access and control when shooting portrait or landscape from any angle. These buttons can be assigned another function from the camera menus.

Lens hood with filter opening
The supplied lens hood opening allows easy use of a circular polarizing filter and a variable neutral density filter.

Dust and moisture resistant design6
The new dust and moisture resistant design6 provides the reliability needed for outdoor use in harsh conditions. Silicone sealing around buttons and switches and a rubber seal around the lens mount greatly reduce the chance of dust and moisture ingress.

Fluorine coating on the front lens
The front lenses of the lens feature a fluorine coating that resists water, grease and other contaminants, preventing fingerprints from sticking to the lens surface and making cleaning easier.
