Sony - 'FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM Lens'
Ultra-wide F2.8 12-24mm zoomThis 100mm mid-range telephoto prime lens offers outstanding G Master resolution plus innovative STF optics for magnificent bokeh. Featuring fast, precise and quiet DDSSM autofocus, and 0.25x magnification for close-up capability. Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation minimizes blur that can occur during low light or macro shooting.
Constant F2.8 Aperture
Bright F2.8 maximum aperture from 12mm to 24mmThe ultra-wide 12mm angle of view available with this versatile lens makes it possible to emphasise distance and create dynamic perspectives that are beyond the scope of the human eye. Expand your artistic palette with deep, engaging visual imagery.
Three XA Elements
Innovative optics with the largest
XA element in any α lensThree XA (extreme aspherical) elements, including the largest ever made, combine with one aspherical element in an innovative optical design that achieves stunning G Master resolution throughout the image area. Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass elements suppress chromatic aberration, and a new Nano AR Coating II minimises flare and ghosting for clear, crisp imagery.
Ideal for Low Light Shoots
Constant F2.8 brightnessThe 12-24mm zoom with a constant F2.8 maximum aperture is ideal for shooting night scenes, starry skies, and other low-light subjects at low sensitivities without having to use extremely slow shutter speeds.
Compact and Lightweight
Ultra-wide angles and large aperture
in a small, lightweight zoomAn advanced optical design with four aspherical elements, including three XA types, plus a mechanical design that features Sony’s original XD linear motors, in a compact, lightweight 12-24mm constant F2.8 zoom that delivers stunning image quality. In addition to being ideal for landscapes, night scenes, and architecture, this lens provides extra mobility for active sports photographers who shoot wide angles.
Fast and Accurate AF
XD Linear Motors for fast, accurate AF
and reliable trackingFour XD Linear Motors, two for each of the lens’s focus groups, contribute to fast, precise autofocus and tracking that make full use of the speed potential provided by high-performance α camera bodies. New control algorithms maximise the response of the XD Linear Motor system while achieving flawless synchronisation between the focus groups. Operation is also quiet with minimal vibration.
Control at your Fingertips
Control and reliability
for professional applicationsA focus hold button, focus mode switch, zoom ring, focus ring, and other controls are designed and positioned for easy operation and a smooth workflow. Alternative functions that support the user’s individual shooting needs can be assigned to the focus hold button via camera body menu settings. A fluorine front element coating plus a dust and moisture resistant design1 ensure high reliability in challenging environments.
