Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens
Flagship Wide-Angle G Master Zoom – Professional Constant f/2.8 Optics (Includes Lens Hood)
The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM is an elite, professional-grade wide-angle zoom lens engineered for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. Covering an essential focal spectrum from ultra-wide 16mm framing to a standard 35mm wide-angle field of view, this lens stands as the gold standard for landscape, architectural, photojournalism, and high-end lifestyle photography.

As a premier member of Sony’s esteemed G Master (GM) series, it bridges the gap between extreme ultra-wide dramatic perspective and everyday standard utility without compromising on image quality. Featuring a bright, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens guarantees blistering low-light performance and spectacular depth-of-field isolation across the entire zoom range. Housed in a fully weather-sealed, rugged casing, it delivers breathtaking edge-to-edge resolution and contrast to meet the absolute highest demands of modern commercial multimedia creators.

This lens is fully bench-tested and operational. The package includes front and rear caps along with the dedicated petal-type lens hood.

Key Features & Elite G Master Optical Engineering
Versatile Wide-Angle Zoom Reach: Spans a highly practical 16-35mm range, allowing you to instantly transition from sweeping, ultra-wide environmental expanses to natural, journalistic documentary framing.

Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: Maintains a bright f/2.8 exposure profile across the whole zoom spectrum, ensuring uniform light transmission and extensive shallow depth-of-field control without unexpected exposure shifts.

Extreme Aspherical (XA) Precision Elements: Crafted with two XA elements boasting superior surface precision, alongside three standard aspherical elements. This complex layout controls astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and geometric distortion for clinical sharpness.

Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Glass Architecture: Incorporates two specialized ED glass elements that actively mitigate chromatic aberrations and eliminate color fringing, resulting in exceptional clarity and color neutrality.

Nano AR Coating Matrix: Sony’s proprietary multi-layered Nano AR coating eliminates surface reflections, internal ghosting, and lens flare to retain incredible contrast and true-to-life color reproduction in harsh backlighting.

Cinematic 11-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Utilizes an uncommon 11-blade circular aperture mechanism to generate exceptionally smooth, circular out-of-focus highlights and a creamy background bokeh quality.

Tactical Handling & Intelligent Autofocus Drive
Dual Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) Focus Groups: Outfitted with two independent Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor groups to drive the focus elements with lightning speed, pinpoint accuracy, and near-absolute silence—making it ideal for both critical stills and noise-sensitive cinema applications.

Advanced Floating Focus System: Divides the internal focusing network into two separately controlled clusters, actively maintaining razor-sharp optical optimization and contrast correction from close-up distances out to infinity.

Direct Tactile Control Panel: Features an on-barrel physical AF/MF toggle switch alongside a dedicated customizable Focus Hold Button, allowing you to instantly freeze focus tracking or assign custom camera shortcut functions.

All-Weather Dust & Moisture Sealing: Built to withstand demanding environmental conditions with a comprehensively sealed weather-resistant chassis and rubberized grip rings optimized for cold-weather handling.

Protective Fluorine Coating: The expansive front element features a specialized fluorine coating that resists smudges, repels water and oils, and allows fingerprints or dust to be easily wiped clean.
