Features

  • A compact F2.8 zoom that is ready to go anywhere

    With a 24-50 mm range ideal for everyday shooting, this versatile zoom offers a large F2.8 maximum aperture and beautiful rendering at all focal lengths in a remarkably compact, lightweight design. With the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G you get refined large-aperture imaging performance for both stills and movies.

  • Outstanding G LensTM image quality with high resolution at all focal lengths

    An advanced optical design that includes four aspherical and two ED glass elements delivers high resolution throughout the 24-50 mm zoom range. Flare, ghosting, and color bleeding are effectively subdued for clear, detailed rendering.

  • Peak performance AF with two Linear Motors for precise, fast, quiet focus drive

    Two optimized linear motors and a precision control system acquire focus on any subject with remarkable speed and accuracy. Tracking performance is excellent and precise, quiet focus is maintained with Sony's latest cameras at up to 120 fps photos and 4K 120p or FHD 240p high frame rate movies.

  • Excellent close-up performance of 7.09” at 24mm in manual focus

    Advanced optical optimization achieves excellent close-up performance at all focal lengths. Maximum magnification is 0.33x (MF) with a minimum focus distance of just 7.09” for superb close-up performance that makes this lens great for tabletop photography.

  • Compact, lightweight design for superb image quality and versatility in any situation.

    Even though it includes four aspherical elements and a large F2.8 maximum aperture, this lens is only 2.94” in diameter by 3.63” in length. Optimized construction enhances durability while reducing weight to just 15.6 oz. for agile mobility and minimum stress during long shooting sessions.

  • Deep, naturally rendered bokeh emphasizes the subject.

    A maximum aperture that remains constant at F2.8 throughout the zoom range, state-of-the-art optical design, and an 11-blade circular aperture combine to deliver the smooth, deep bokeh that is a hallmark of Sony’s G Lens line-up. Exquisite bokeh naturally emphasizes the subject.

  • Constant F2.8 aperture in a mobile zoom that is great for movies.

    Precise, quiet AF and an F2.8 aperture in a compact, lightweight zoom is ideal for movies. Minimal center of gravity shift makes this lens a good choice for gimbal or drone mounting. Combined with in-camera Active Mode stabilization it can deliver stable handheld footage at wide angles while walking.

  • Advanced aspherical and ED glass elements control spherical and chromatic aberrations.

    Four advanced aspherical and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements ensure corner to corner high contrast and significantly reduce chromatic aberration for sharp reproduction without color bleeding.

  • Dedicated aperture ring, click/de-click and iris lock switches.

    For direct, intuitive creative control when shooting stills and movies, this lens features three control rings: focus, zoom, and aperture. The aperture ring click stops can be turned ON to provide tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for smooth, silent control when shooting movies.

  • Comprehensive control and Linear Response MF

    The FE 24-50mm F2.8 G includes a customizable focus hold button and AF/MF switch. Linear Response MF ensures immediate, intuitive manual focus control. Internal focus makes it easy to use rotatable 67 mm filters, such as variable ND types that are often used when shooting movies.

  • Fluorine front element coating

    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.

  • Dust and moisture resistant design for reliability in challenging conditions.

    An updated dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions. Silicon seals around buttons and switches and a rubber gasket around the lens mount greatly reduce the likelihood of dust and moisture incursion.

    Great alternative to the GM24-70 2.8.

    Great alternative to the GM24-70 2.8(both the original and new one. Image quality is hard to tell from the original GM24-70 2.8 minus the obvious 20mm at the long end but worth the size and weight savings, compared to the new one you do lose a bit of contrast with direct sunlight in the frame but otherwise image quality is hard to tell(at least in my 24MP a9iii body and my crop 26MP) I plan to eventually pick up the G 16-25 2.8 to complete the set

    Great Focal Range Covering Standard Primes

    Bought this lens to pair up with an A7CII since I was looking to pair the smaller body with a relatively smaller lens that I could keep attached during travel. Needless to say, I'm really impressed with the quality of the lens - both the build and the image it produces. I'm not a pixel peeper, but I found the images to be incredibly sharp, even wide open. Autofocus worked like a charm when I took it for a spin at a recent car show. On the 50nm end, I found the image to match or exceed that of the 50mm f/1.8. Since I tend to shoot 35mm and higher, the reverse barrel extension did not bother me at all since it was already at the focal length I default to in it's unextended state. The major tradeoff here from the smaller prime lenses that Sony offers (24mm, 40mm, 50mm f/2.5G and even thr 50mm f/1.8) is that it is heavier even for being an already compact lens. That being said, it feels like it's built like a tank, and the heft gives the lens a sense of quality and durability.

    Sharp Light Lens

    I got this as my first lens with my new Sony Alpha7Cii, and it works perfectly. Lightweight and sharp. It's just what I was looking for as a "walking around lens" and something I could take with me on vacation.

    The best alternative to a 24-70

    For those cameras with crop mode or clear image zoom this lens is more than enough for most people. I already have a 24-70 so I needed another similar focal length for travel but I didn’t like how bulky the 24-70 is. This is the perfect size
