Sony’s first G MasterTM standard zoom with constant F2 max. aperture is ideal for portraits and many other subjects. Its F2 aperture, superb optics, and mobility will appeal to even the most demanding pros. Sharpness and contrast rival prime lens quality, while brightness, unrivalled AF, zoom, and a compact, lightweight design offer extraordinary creative scope for stills and movies.
A bright, versatile F2 standard zoom
The first G MasterTM standard zoom with a constant F2 aperture is ideal for portraits and a wide range of other subjects. Sharpness and contrast rival prime lens quality, while F2 brightness, unrivalled AF, a versatile zoom range, and a compact, lightweight design offer extraordinary creative scope for stills and movies.
Sharpness that maximises body potential
Advanced design and optical simulation result in zoom quality that rivals prime lenses. Large elements including three XA (extreme aspherical) elements manufactured using original techniques ensure high corner-to-corner resolution at F2 throughout the zoom range. Floating focus allows close focus down to 0.38 m/1.25 ft throughout the zoom range.
Chromatic aberration controlled
One ED (extra-low dispersion) element and three Super ED elements reduce axial chromatic aberration as well as lateral chromatic aberration that can reduce resolution at the image periphery. Colour bleeding is effectively suppressed throughout the image area for exemplary overall clarity and resolution.
Resistant to flare and ghosting
Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II minimises flare/ghosting, making it possible to shoot clear images even in strong backlighting. Optics designed to suppress internal reflections provide further flare resistance, ensuring high clarity whenever a strong light source appears in the frame. Perfect for portraits, sports, movies, live events, and more.
F2 G Master design for extraordinary depth
An F2 max. aperture and G Master optics deliver exquisite, soft bokeh for deep, dimensional images. Spherical aberration is carefully controlled for ideal resolution/bokeh balance, and a new 11-blade circular aperture unit helps to deliver gorgeous ball bokeh. Onion-ring bokeh and colour bleeding are effectively suppressed for refined image quality.
