Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM lens

Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM

Sony’s new lens offers an extremely wide angle of view and is the world’s first f/2.8 lens in this zoom range. If you’re looking for the exceptional image quality and optical performance familiar from the G Master range, this new lens is the right choice. Three Extreme Aspherical elements, one standard aspherical element, two Super ED elements and three special standard ED elements produce – quite apart from that rather annoying phrase – a truly sharp image across the entire focal length range, even at full aperture. The 12–24mm focal length is ideal for landscape, astrophotography and architectural photography. Nano AR coatings reduce reflections and ghosting, providing an excellent starting point for astrophotography in particular. Amateur and professional documentary photographers alike are embracing this lens, as it offers a different perspective on events.

In terms of its design, the G-Master has been kept to a moderate size and weight; its size is close to Sony FE 24-70mm GM:ää. The lens is 137mm long and weighs 847 grams. As with other G-Master lenses, the glass is weather-sealed and can withstand slightly rougher handling.

The linear XD motor ensures excellent focusing speed and tracking, making the 12–24mm lens ideal for videographers as well.
