The second-generation, large-aperture, F2.8 standard zoom G Master is a dramatic evolution of the previous model. Mount: E-mount lens (compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras). Focal length: 24-70mm. Maximum aperture: F2.8. Filter diameter: 82mm. [SEL2470GM2] [report] SEL2470GM2 Released June 2022
The world's smallest and lightest* lens, delivering image quality approaching that of a prime lens. The second-generation, large-aperture, F2.8 standard zoom G Master delivers the exceptional imaging performance you expect from G Master, whether shooting stills or video, in the world's smallest and lightest* lens. The portability and mobility required of a standard zoom lens have been significantly improved. Furthermore, focus tracking performance during zooming is approximately doubled compared to previous models thanks to the adoption of four high-thrust XD linear motors and a floating focus mechanism. The latest lens design technology thoroughly suppresses focus breathing and other issues. It satisfies the artist's discerning tastes in both still images and video. *As of the press release in April 2022. For a full-frame 24-70mm F2.8 standard zoom with autofocus. According to Sony research.
The smallest and lightest in its class*, weighing in at approximately 695g, it offers high mobility and portability. While pursuing even better imaging performance, high autofocus performance, and the ease of use, reliability, and robustness that meet the needs of professionals, it weighs approximately 20% (approximately 191g) lighter than the previous model (SEL2470GM), weighing in at approximately 695g, and the overall lens length is 16mm shorter, resulting in a compact design that is approximately 18% smaller in volume. To achieve high performance, the convenience of a zoom lens, and a compact body without compromise, we utilized the latest design simulations, optimal glass materials, clever optical element placement, two XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements, a floating focus mechanism, and four high-precision, high-thrust XD linear motors—all of which are cutting-edge technologies—to create an unprecedented large-aperture standard zoom lens that is both high-performance and easy to handle. Its portability and maneuverability make it an all-around lens for a wide range of shooting styles, from portraits to snapshots, and even videography using gimbals or drones, making it a versatile lens for everyday use in any situation. (As of April 2022 press release. For full-frame 24-70mm F2.8 standard zoom lenses with autofocus. Based on Sony research.) High-resolution performance approaching that of a prime lens. This large-aperture zoom lens is remarkably compact, designed without sacrificing size or weight, while pursuing optical performance approaching that of a prime lens. Using higher design standards and the latest simulation technology, we've achieved high resolution even at widest apertures, maintaining contrast even in the detailed images captured by high-resolution cameras. The optical design has also been completely revised, effectively positioning five aspherical lenses, including two XA (extreme aspherical) lenses. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) and two Super ED glass elements, along with a new floating focus mechanism, thoroughly suppress chromatic aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and coma. Even at widest apertures, this lens boasts high resolution from center to periphery across the entire zoom range, accurately capturing every detail of your subject in both still and video formats. High Backlight Resistance: Sony's proprietary Nano AR Coating II suppresses flare and ghosting, even in backlit situations with strong light sources such as sunlight. This high backlight resistance enables high-contrast, crisp, and clear images. In addition, the lens barrel is designed to thoroughly minimize reflections, making it ideal for a variety of scenes, including landscapes, sports, and live video recording.
Beautiful, soft bokeh, unique to G Master. The newly developed 11-blade aperture maintains a highly circular shape even when stopped down two stops from maximum aperture. Furthermore, by producing two ultra-high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements with strict surface precision control, ring-shaped bokeh is significantly reduced. During the manufacturing process, optimal spherical aberration adjustment is performed on each lens element, achieving the smooth, beautiful bokeh characteristic of G Master. Furthermore, ED (extra-low dispersion) glass and Super ED glass minimize color fringing, resulting in clear, color-free circular bokeh.
Improved close-up shooting capabilities. This lens's close-up shooting capabilities, superior to previous models, make the most of the f/2.8 bokeh, a major attraction. Furthermore, the floating focus mechanism ensures high resolution even at close-ups, where image quality often degrades. Meanwhile, the lens's innovative optical design minimizes the overall length, and its internal focusing system enhances usability, allowing for flexible use, even when shooting close-ups or video in tight spaces, broadening the scope of expression.
Achieves high-speed, high-precision, and high-tracking AF drive. In addition to the floating focus mechanism and advanced lens control, the lens is equipped with four XD linear motors developed exclusively by Sony, significantly improving focus tracking performance during zooming by approximately twice that of previous models. The newly developed aperture drive mechanism further accelerates aperture drive speed, enabling high-speed continuous shooting with AF tracking even when shooting with the aperture stopped down. When paired with the α1, high-speed continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second is possible, ensuring you never miss a beat. Even when using a deeper depth of field to capture the subject in continuous shooting, the lens continues to capture the subject regardless of aperture value.
Uncompromising operability in a compact body The camera boasts the high mobility of the α system, in a smaller body than previous models, as well as the addition of a new aperture ring, iris lock switch, zoom operation feel switch, and customizable focus hold button. There's also ample space between the lens and the grip for comfortable operation. The latest optical design has made the entire optical system lighter and shifted the center of gravity to the rear, reducing fatigue even during extended handheld shooting.
