Pursuing high resolution and sharpness to every corner of the screen. This large-aperture, F2.8 wide-angle zoom lens captures the world in dynamic detail. This F2.8 wide-angle zoom lens captures the expansive landscapes before you with sharp detail, even at the edges of the frame. Utilizing Sony's cutting-edge technology, it delivers high resolution across the entire zoom and focus range, while also achieving smooth, beautiful bokeh that dramatically accentuates the subject. It captures expansive landscapes, magnificent architecture, and portraits with expansive backgrounds with dynamic, sharp detail at wide angles. It's also recommended for fast-moving sports scenes, taking advantage of the bright F2.8 aperture. Despite its large aperture, its lightweight and compact design makes it highly portable and versatile, making it ideal for a wide range of scenes. High resolution and sharpness, even at the periphery, achieved through the high design standards of G Master. To maximize the capabilities of cameras in the high-resolution era, the lens was designed with high contrast even at high spatial frequencies in mind, pursuing high resolution performance. The lens employs two ultra-high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements, the largest diameter ever in an α lens, at the front, with another element positioned near the aperture. This effective arrangement, along with the three aspherical lens elements, effectively corrects not only astigmatism and field curvature, but also distortion, a common problem in wide-angle zoom lenses, achieving high resolution performance across the entire zoom and focus range. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements also suppress chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp, edge-to-edge capture of dynamic landscapes, architecture, and other scenes. The floating mechanism delivers sharp, clear images from close to long distances. The two lens elements move independently to effectively correct aberrations across the entire zoom range, ensuring sharp, clear images not only at infinity but also when shooting close-ups, such as portraits. Nano AR Coating dramatically reduces flare and ghosting. Sony's proprietary Nano AR Coating technology minimizes flare and ghosting, which can easily occur in backlit situations. It consistently delivers high-contrast, deep blacks, and clear images, allowing you to frame exactly how you want, even in situations where backlight or oblique sunlight can easily penetrate, such as landscape photography at a wide angle of view. The smooth, beautiful bokeh you expect from G Master is achieved by using two ultra-high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements, achieved by controlling the surface of the aspherical lens with a precision of 0.01 microns. This significantly reduces the ring-shaped blur that often occurs with aspherical lenses, and the strategic placement of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass minimizes chromatic aberration, resulting in beautiful, even bokeh. The 11-blade circular aperture delivers natural bokeh, highlighting the main subject. The aperture mechanism employs 11 blades, enabling natural, soft bokeh that accentuates the main subject. The combination of beautiful bokeh and excellent close-up shooting capabilities makes this lens ideal for portrait photography, taking advantage of its wide angle of view and large F2.8 aperture while getting close to the main subject.
Meticulous Commitment to Bokeh: Optical design using the latest simulation software and thorough management of optimal spherical aberration correction during manufacturing achieve sophisticated bokeh.
High-Precision, Quiet Focus Drive for Precise Focusing in Both Still Images and Video: A floating mechanism in which two lens groups move independently. Both groups use Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM), which uses the ultrasonic expansion and contraction motion of piezoelectric elements to drive the focus lens, allowing for fast and precise lens movement. This enables precise focusing even when capturing moving subjects, such as in portraits. DDSSM also boasts excellent quietness, reducing drive noise during video recording, enabling quiet, high-quality focusing.
Excellent Operation for Field Work: Equipped with a focus hold button, focus ring, AF/MF switch, and other features to support comfortable shooting. The focus hold button can be customized via the camera's menu, allowing you to assign your preferred function. The focus ring is designed for ease of use, providing responsiveness even when finely manipulating the ring during manual focus, allowing for precise focusing. The focus and zoom rings are made of rubber, making them easy to turn even in cold temperatures. The lens hood removal button prevents the hood from accidentally coming off during transport. Designed with dust and water resistance in mind: In addition to the conventional sealing, a rubber ring for the lens mount enhances dust resistance at the connection point with the camera body, ensuring the camera meets the trust of professionals even in harsh environments. *Although the lens is designed to be dust-proof and splash-proof, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.
