Its cutting-edge optical design, featuring four aspherical lens elements, including one ED (extra-low dispersion) aspherical lens, allows for a compact body measuring a maximum diameter of 74.8mm and length of 91.4mm. Effective use of engineering plastics enhances durability while keeping the weight to just approximately 409g. This lens offers a new F2.8 lens option for long shoots and low-light conditions.
The exceptional imaging performance of G lenses. The incredibly compact and lightweight design of the FE 16-25mm F2.8 G delivers the exceptional resolution and smooth, beautiful bokeh of G lenses across the entire focal length range from 16mm to 25mm, making it ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, selfies, travel, and snapshots. This innovative lens delivers the sophisticated performance you expect from a large-aperture lens, whether capturing stills or video.
Excellent Resolution Across the Entire Zoom Range: The latest optical design delivers high resolution from the center to the periphery. Effectively positioning three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass elements and four aspherical lens elements, including one ED aspherical lens, reduces chromatic aberration and other aberrations. Effectively suppressing flare, ghosting, and color bleeding, it accurately captures every detail of the subject throughout the entire zoom range.
A Bright F2.8 Maximum Amount Across the Entire Zoom Range: The smooth and beautiful bokeh characteristic of Sony's G Lens lineup is achieved through the harmonious combination of an F2.8 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range, cutting-edge optical design, and an 11-blade circular aperture unit. Impressive bokeh highlights the subject throughout the entire zoom range, from 16mm to 25mm.
Impressive Close-Up Performance: Ingenious optical design ensures high close-up performance across the entire zoom range. Taking advantage of the wide-angle angle of view, you can take close-up shots while simultaneously incorporating both the subject and background.
AF Performance that Unleashes the High-Speed ​​Capabilities of the Camera Body: Two linear motors are optimized for this lens, capturing subjects with precision and incredible speed through advanced lens control. It also has tracking capabilities that are compatible with the α9 III's high-speed continuous shooting speed of up to approximately 120 frames per second.
High-Precision, Smooth, High-Performance Video AF: Even in slow-motion shots that require precise focusing, or high-definition 4K/8K video recording, the lens works in tandem with the α body to capture fast-moving subjects with precision and tracking.
Portable F2.8 Zoom Ideal for Video Shooting: This lens is ideal for video shooting, with a focal length frequently used in video, a compact and lightweight F2.8 zoom, high-performance AF, and reduced breathing. Its short extension and minimal center of gravity make it comfortable to use with gimbals and drones.
Maximizing the Video Capabilities of the α Body: The latest α series bodies are fully utilized for video performance. When combined with the Active Mode image stabilization, you can capture stable video even when shooting handheld while walking. This lens also supports the breathing compensation function of the α series cameras.
Uncompromising operability in a compact body: Despite its compact size, the lens features three control rings for focus, zoom, and aperture, allowing for intuitive operation when shooting still images and video. The aperture ring's click function can be turned on/off, which is convenient for video shooting. It also features a focus mode switch for instant AF/MF switching and a focus hold button that can be assigned to any function.
Aperture ring/Aperture ring click switch: The aperture ring provides highly instantaneous aperture adjustment. The click function can be turned on/off with a switch. When the aperture ring click is off, aperture changes are seamless and silent. Settings can be adjusted to suit the shooting situation and your preferences.
Focus hold button customizable from the body: The focus hold button is equipped and is ideal for operation in portrait orientation. You can assign a function from the extensive menu on the body to customize it to suit your subject and shooting scene.
Features "Linear Response MF" with minimal time lag and excellent response. The "Linear Response MF" system responds responsively to even delicate ring operation during manual focusing. Focus movement corresponds to the ring rotation angle, allowing for precise focusing, so the photographer's intentions can be directly reflected when using rack focus during video shooting.
Compatible with a variety of filters. Φ67mm filters can be attached. Since the filter frame does not rotate due to the use of internal focusing, circular polarizing filters often used in landscape photography and variable ND filters used in video shooting can be used, expanding the photographer's range of expression.
Designed with dust and weather resistance in mind. The lens is designed with dust and weather resistance in mind*, ensuring reliability even in outdoor shooting environments. *Although the lens is designed to be dust-proof and splash-proof, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.
