Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens (Model SEL2470GM)
The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM is a professional-grade standard zoom lens built for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras. As a foundational pillar of Sony’s flagship G Master series, this lens delivers a highly versatile wide-angle to short-telephoto focal range backed by a bright, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. Whether capturing expansive landscapes, fast-paced sports, or intimate portraits, this optical workhorse is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of commercial photographers and filmmakers who refuse to compromise on sharpness, speed, and beautiful background rendering.

CONDITION NOTE (GOOD / VALUE GEAR)
This lens is graded in Good overall operational condition. It has been thoroughly bench-tested and performs flawlessly across its entire zoom range.

Included Accessories: Ships complete with front and rear lens caps. Please note that the lens hood is NOT included in this listing.

Uncompromising G Master Optical Precision
High-Resolution Architecture: Meticulously engineered to suppress a wide array of spherical and chromatic aberrations, achieving exceptional corner-to-corner sharpness and micro-contrast that easily resolves high-megapixel sensors.

Extreme Aspherical (XA) Element: Features three aspherical elements, highlighted by one high-precision XA element with superior surface tolerance. This design effectively eliminates astigmatism, field curvature, and coma while completely neutralizing “onion-ring” artifacts in out-of-focus highlights.

ED & Super ED Glass Shielding: Incorporates one Extra-Low Dispersion element and one Super ED element to aggressively control chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring striking clarity and neutral color fidelity.

Bright Constant f/2.8 Aperture: Maintains a consistent f/2.8 light gathering capability throughout the entire zoom range, allowing for predictable exposure settings and deep depth-of-field control even in low-light environments.

Nano AR Coating: Sony’s advanced anti-reflective layer has been applied to internal surfaces to dramatically reduce ghosting and lens flare, preserving rich contrast and accurate color rendering when shooting in harsh, backlit conditions.

Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: Utilizes a nine-blade circular iris configuration to contribute a remarkably smooth, organic bokeh quality to the background when utilizing selective focus techniques.

High-Velocity Direct Drive Focus & Professional Handling
Direct Drive SSM Autofocus (DDSSM): Outfitted with a high-torque Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor and an internal focusing system. This pairing provides lightning-fast, whispering-quiet, and tack-sharp autofocus performance that tracks moving subjects with clinical precision—making it equally adept at video acquisition and fast-paced still shooting.

Linear Response Manual Focus: The internal mechanics are tuned to deliver a highly natural, tactile, and linear manual focus feel, allowing focus pullers and cinematographers to make predictable, muscle-memory adjustments on the fly.

Tactile Barrel Controls: Features a customizable physical Focus Hold Button and a dedicated AF/MF toggle switch built directly into the lens chassis for instantaneous, eye-free tactical workflow control.

Weather-Sealed Magnesium Assembly: Constructed with a rugged, dust- and moisture-sealed physical housing built to withstand severe weather conditions on location. The physical control rings feature heavy rubber texturing to ensure reliable, slip-free handling in freezing temperatures.
