Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Lens (Sony E)

The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II is an ultra-wide to wide-angle zoom lens for Sony’s full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. It features a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, enabling consistent light transmission and depth of field control. The optical construction incorporates extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements, including XA (extreme aspherical) elements, to reduce distortions, chromatic aberrations, and maintain sharpness across the frame. This second-generation model offers improved optical performance and reduced size and weight compared to its predecessor. Autofocus is powered by four XD Linear Motors for fast, accurate, and quiet operation. The lens includes an aperture ring with a de-click option for smooth aperture changes during video recording. Weather-sealing provides protection against dust and moisture, while a fluorine coating on the front element resists water and smudges. The lens is designed to minimize focus breathing, making it suitable for video work. This ultra-wide zoom serves landscape, architectural, interior, astrophotography, and environmental portrait applications where expansive perspectives are desired.
