About this product

FE 28-70mm F2 GM - An F2 standard zoom that rivals prime lens quality

Features
  • A bright, versatile F2 standard zoom

    The first*6 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*1, while F2 brightness, unrivalled AF, a versatile zoom range, and a compact, lightweight design offer extraordinary creative scope for stills and movies.

  • Sharpness that maximizes body potential

    Advanced design and optical simulation result in zoom quality that rivals prime lenses*1. Large elements including three XA (extreme aspherical) elements manufactured using original techniques ensure high corner-to-corner resolution at F2 throughout the zoom range.

  • 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.

  • Constant F2 in a compact, lightweight lens

    This versatile standard zoom lens delivers image quality that rivals prime lenses plus amazing AF. Innovative optics and XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors make all of this fit in a constant F2 zoom that is only 92.9 x 139.8 mm (3-3/4 x 5-5/8) and weighs just 918 g (32.4 oz).

  • Precise, reliable, responsive AF tracking

    Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and the latest algorithm precisely control the large F2 focus group. Reliable focus tracking and instant response are essential at weddings or sports events where every frame counts.

  • Refined, expressive movie production

    Focus breathing is subdued for refined movie imagery. Rack focus and zoom effects can be used with F2 depth of field to create smooth, natural transitions. Critical focus for high frame rate 4K 120p/FHD 240p*3 recording is easy.

  • Chromatic aberration controlled

    Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II minimizes flare/ghosting, making it possible to shoot clear images even in strong backlighting. Perfect for portraits, sports, movies, live events, and more.

  • Resistant to flare and ghosting

    Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II minimizes flare/ghosting, making it possible to shoot clear images even in strong backlighting. Perfect for portraits, sports, movies, live events, and more.

  • Professional control

    Important control functions include Linear Response MF for intuitive manual focus, adjustable zoom ring torque, and an aperture ring with a click ON/OFF switch. There are also two customizable focus hold buttons, an iris lock switch, and an AF/MF switch.

  • Rugged and reliable

    Buttons and switches feature silicone gaskets, the lens mount includes a rubber ring, and all other critical areas are painstakingly designed to prevent the incursion of dust and moisture*5 and ensure maximum reliability in challenging outdoor conditions.

    Simply the best lens available today.

    Avid photographer here. I shoot mostly Sony and some Leica. I have used the Sigma DG DN II and the Sony 24-70mm GMII and I will say that this lens is better than both. The quality and speed are unmatched. It's not as heavy as I thought. The smooth zoom makes framing shots a snap. This will be on my camera a ton going forward.

    STUNNING. AMAZING. 100% WELL WORTH IT!

    This lens has been 100% well worth the investment. I learned about it from a Best Buy associate - before that I didn't even know it existed but when he showed it to me I thought I was dreaming. I had to reconsider my 24-70 F2.8 that I went into the store to buy... BUT it was SO worth it. It is much lighter than the Canon version and takes absolutely stunning images. I love using primes, so this is the ideal set up for weddings, mini sessions, family sessions, portraits sessions, pets... you name it. I have other lenses for traveling and real estate photography, but this takes the cake for everything else I shoot.

    BEST SONY ZOOM LENS EVER CREATED

    This lens is a game changer!! I like it so much more than the other zoom lens 24-70mm f/2.8 I am used to shooting with the Sony 50mm GM f/1.2 and love the creaminess it produces. This lens does exactly that and easily replaces my 35 mm, 50 mm, and 85 mm. You will not regret this purchase. These are the photos I took with my Sony a7RV + Sony FE 28-70 F2 GM lens.

    Fantastic!

    It’s great. Very happy with this purchase. It’s a little heavy, more than expected, but the sharpness and the aperture is fantastic. This has become my everyday lens.

    My favorite lens EVER!

    I Lost 24-70 f2.8 GM abd boy am I stoked I held out to buy this lens. The image quality is fantanstic and does excellent with video. Going from f2.8 to f2.0 doesnt seem significant to many but if you understand how a camera works, this is a full stop of light. The bokeh is beautiful, the auto focus is spot on. This lens in incredible. F1.8 would have been nice but dreamers can dream. The extra features allow you To select how smooth the zoom ring moves, as well as an iris lock. This lens has all the bells and whistles. 5/5 from me, first lens ive ever rated so high.
