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

  • 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.
