Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens

Ultra-Wide, Unparalleled Versatility

Introducing the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM, an E-mount zoom lens that delivers an extraordinary ultra-wide perspective coupled with a remarkably bright and versatile design. Whether capturing landscapes, nature, architecture, or interiors, this lens excels in challenging shooting conditions, offering a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture and advanced optical construction for impeccably corrected imagery.

Advanced G Master Optics

As a distinguished member of Sony’s prestigious G Master series, this lens is engineered to achieve exceptional resolution and sharpness by effectively correcting a wide array of spherical and chromatic aberrations.
The bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture empowers photographers to conquer difficult lighting situations while providing enhanced control over depth of field.
The Nano AR Coating II significantly reduces surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, resulting in heightened contrast and accurate color rendition, especially in demanding lighting conditions. This updated coating is optimized for larger, curved elements, effectively minimizing internal reflections.
A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a delightful bokeh quality when utilizing shallow depth of field techniques.

The optical design incorporates three XA (extreme aspherical) elements and one standard aspherical element. These elements, crafted with exceptional surface precision, effectively control astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion, and other spherical aberrations, resulting in outstanding sharpness and precise rendering.
Two Super ED elements and three ED elements are integrated into the lens design, reducing chromatic aberrations and color fringing to enhance clarity and color accuracy.
A floating focusing system divides the focus group into two independently controlled units, ensuring consistently clear optical performance throughout the zoom and focus ranges.

Fast Focus and Intuitive Handling

The XD Linear Motor system employs four separate motors—two per focusing group—combined with an internal focusing design, enabling swift, silent, and precise autofocus and tracking capabilities.
Linear Response manual focus control provides a more natural handling experience, while an AF/MF switch on the lens barrel allows for quick and tactile adjustment of the focus mode.

A focus hold button on the lens barrel offers intuitive tactile control and rapid access to selected settings.
With a minimum focusing distance of 11″ maintained throughout the zoom range, close-up opportunities are readily available.
Durable and Practical Design

The lens boasts a dust- and moisture-sealed construction, ensuring reliable performance in inclement conditions. Rubberized control rings enhance handling, even in colder temperatures.
The fluorine-coated front element resists dust, moisture, and fingerprints, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance.

An integrated petal-shaped lens hood effectively blocks stray light to prevent lens flare and provides physical protection for the front element.
A filter holder is incorporated at the rear of the lens, within the lens mount, accommodating cut gel filters. A filter cutting template is included for added convenience.
