Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens

Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Lens (Generation 1)
The Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM (G Master) is a professional-grade standard zoom lens engineered natively for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Serving as the definitive, foundational workhorse for a vast array of shooting styles, it covers a highly versatile wide-angle to short-telephoto focal range. As a flagship member of the elite G Master series, it pairs an ultra-bright, constant f/2.8 aperture with cutting-edge optical elements to deliver stunning resolution and creamy background bokeh. Whether capturing sweeping landscapes, high-intensity sports, or intimate portraits, this robust optic is built to excel on any demanding commercial set.

CONDITION NOTE
Good Functional Condition / Minor Blemish: This lens has been fully bench-tested and is mechanically, electronically, and optically sound.

Front Element Condition: There is a very light, superficial scratch on the front glass element. This blemish is extremely faint and can only be detected when shining a phone light directly onto the glass.

Optical Impact Test: Comprehensive testing confirms this minor blemish does not affect image functionality, sharpness, or contrast in any way, across all apertures and focal lengths.

Accessories Included: Ships complete with standard front and rear lens caps, alongside its original dedicated matching plastic lens hood to block stray light flare.

Uncompromising G Master Optical Architecture
Constant f/2.8 Aperture Uniformity: Features a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range, ensuring consistent exposure settings and light transmission while zooming. This fast design grants extensive control over shallow depth-of-field separation and selective focus techniques.

Extreme Aspherical (XA) Precision: Outfitted with three aspherical elements, including one specialized XA element with superior surface tolerances. This formula aggressively neutralizes astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and distracting spherical aberrations.

Super ED & Extra-Low Dispersion Glass: Incorporates one standard ED element and one premium Super ED glass element to decisively reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, resulting in crystal-clear micro-contrast and deep color fidelity.

Nano AR Surface Coating: Internal glass elements feature Sony’s anti-reflective Nano AR treatment to minimize surface reflections, ghosting, and internal flare, preserving image contrast when tracking subjects in harsh backlit environments.

9-Blade Circular Aperture: Employs a rounded nine-blade diaphragm to render exceptionally smooth, soft, and visually organic out-of-focus background highlights (bokeh).

Fast Focusing & Reliable Professional Handling
Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor (DDSSM): Powered by a high-torque DDSSM drive system that provides rapid, pinpoint, and near-silent autofocus tracking. This ultra-responsive system ensures fluid focal transitions for both high-resolution stills and video applications.

Internal Focus Mechanism: Features an internal focus layout where only middle lens groups move, ensuring the overall physical length of the lens remains constant during operation while maximizing balance and response times.

Tactile Function Matrix: Outfitted with an on-barrel customizable Focus Hold Button for rapid utility access (such as Eye AF or shot previewing), alongside a dedicated mechanical AF/MF switch for immediate focal mode toggling.

Weatherproof Shell & Durable Construction
Comprehensive Weatherproof Gaskets: Engineered with standard dust- and moisture-sealed structural joints to safeguard internal components during inclement outdoor shoots.

Rubberized Control Rings: The zoom and manual focus rings are wrapped in heavy-duty, heavily textured rubber, benefiting handling precision and tactile control in freezing or wet climates.
