Sony 24-70mm f2.8 FE GM II Lens

Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II - Sony Alpha full-frame constant-aperture standard zoom lens with excellent G MASTER resolution and bokeh with next-generation autofocus performance optimized for still and movie AT A GLANCEExcellent contrast at high spatial frequencies means superb resolution even at F2.8. Two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and a floating focus mechanism control chromatic aberration, astigmatism, distortion and coma at all zoom and aperture settings. Nano AR Coating II subdues flare and ghosting for outstanding clarity.Exquisite F2.8 bokeh extends throughout the zoom range thanks to advanced optical design and a new 11-blade aperture unit. Bokeh is enhanced by precise control of spherical aberration during design and for each lens during manufacture. Two XA elements with 0.01-micron precision suppress onion ring bokeh. Minimum focusing distance is 0.21 metres at 24 mm and 0.30 metres at 70 mm, with max. magnification of 0.32x.It weighs just 695 grams, 191 grams less than the previous model. Its length has been reduced by 16 mm. Overall volume has been reduced by approximately 18%. Impressive portability and mobility make it a good choice for professional or enthusiast still or movie use in a wide range of situations.Four of Sony’s original XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors, a floating focus mechanism and advanced lens control achieve high AF precision and approximately 2x better tracking performance while zooming than the previous model. With a compatible body it can shoot at up to 30 frames per second. The new aperture unit also contributes to high speed, enabling full AF tracking performance even when shooting with the aperture stopped down.The latest lens design technology reduces unwanted image shifts and angle-of-view variations for smooth, expressive movie imagery. XD Linear Motors enhance AF and tracking performance, enabling high-frame-rate recording for exquisite detail. Independent focus and aperture rings are provided, and Linear Response MF ensures direct, linear focus ring response when focusing manually.An updated dust- and moisture-resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. A fluorine coating keeps the front element clean. Convenient operation of circular polarizing and variable ND filters (optional) is provided by a special opening in the supplied lens hood. Two customizable focus hold buttons are provided for easy access and convenient control when shooting in any orientation. SPECIFICATIONSMOUNT  Sony E-mountFORMAT  35 mm full frameFOCAL LENGTH (MM)  24–7035 MM EQUIVALENT FOCAL LENGTH (APS-C)  36-105LENS GROUPS / ELEMENTS  15–20ANGLE OF VIEW (35MM)  84°-34°ANGLE OF VIEW (APS-C)  61 °–23 °1MAXIMUM APERTURE (F)  2.8MINIMUM APERTURE (F)  22APERTURE BLADES  11CIRCULAR APERTURE  YesMINIMUM FOCUS DISTANCE  0.21 (W) – 0.3 (T) m (0.69 [W] – 0.99 [T] ft)MAXIMUM MAGNIFICATION RATIO (X)  0.32xFILTER DIAMETER (MM)  82IMAGE STABILIZATION (STEADYSHOT)  - (body-integrated)ZOOM SYSTEM  ManualDIMENSIONS (D X L)  87.8 x 119.9 mm (3.46 x 4.72 in)WEIGHT  695 g (24.6 oz.)
