Overview

Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II lens offers compelling wide-angle perspectives with exceptional resolution and bokeh, harnessing the full potential of advanced camera bodies for enhanced speed and performance.

Features

Extraordinary Resolution & Bokeh

The ability to achieve smooth and captivating bokeh is a result of the generous F2.8 maximum aperture, an inventive optical design, and a sophisticated 11-blade aperture system. Furthermore, the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II lens excels in close-up photography, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.22 meters across the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification of 0.32x. This allows you to get up close for dynamic perspectives, while the creamy bokeh enhances your creative expressiveness.

Refined for Outstanding Movie Imagery

Minimized focus breathing, focus shift, and axis shift during zooming all contribute to the creation of seamless and fluid movie footage. Additionally, the employment of XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and an advanced aperture unit reduces both noise and vibration. With a center of gravity that undergoes minimal change, the lens facilitates nimble and stable handling when shooting handheld, eliminating the necessity for recalibration when adjusting the zoom setting while using a gimbal.

Smooth, Precise, Quiet & Fast AF

Despite being the world's smallest and lightest F2.8 16-35 mm zoom lens, the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II maintains exceptional imaging quality, owing to its advanced optical design that incorporates XA elements and Super ED glass (extra-low dispersion). Additionally, the use of lightweight high-thrust XD Linear Motors contributes to its impressively low weight, measuring just 547 grams (19.3 oz.), which is approximately 20% lighter than the E 16-35mm F2.8 GM. With a compact overall length of 111.5 mm (4-1/2 inches), this lens strikes a balance between portability and performance.
