Superior resolution across the entire zoom range: The latest optical design delivers high resolution from the center to the periphery. The strategic placement of four aspherical lenses and two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements reduces aberrations, including chromatic aberration. Effectively suppressing flare, ghosting, and color bleeding, this lens accurately captures even the finest details of your subject across the entire zoom range. Achieving a bright f/2.8 aperture 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 f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, cutting-edge optical design, and an 11-blade circular aperture unit. Impressive bokeh highlights your subject across the entire zoom range, from 24mm to 50mm. Powerful close-up performance: The optical design ensures excellent close-up performance across the entire zoom range. With a maximum magnification of 0.30x (AF) / 0.33x (MF), and a minimum focusing distance of 0.19m (AF) / 0.18m (MF), this lens delivers excellent close-up performance across a wide range. Combined with its compact size, this lens is ideal for close-up photography, such as tabletop photography. Two linear motors are optimized for this lens, delivering advanced lens control for precise, high-speed subject capture. Its tracking capabilities are also compatible with the α9 III's high-speed continuous shooting speed of approximately 120 frames per second. High-precision, smooth, high-performance video AF: It works in tandem with the α body to capture fast-moving subjects and track them with precision, even in slow-motion scenes that require precise focusing, or in 4K/8K high-definition video. High-quality video performance: A highly portable F2.8 zoom lens, ideal for video shooting. This compact and lightweight F2.8 standard zoom lens boasts precise and quiet AF performance, making it ideal for video shooting. Minimal center of gravity movement makes it comfortable to use with gimbals or drones. When combined with the α series body's Active Mode image stabilization (*1), it enables stable video capture even when shooting handheld while walking. This lens also supports the α series body's Breathing Compensation (*2) function. *1: When using a compatible camera body. The angle of view will be slightly narrower in Active Mode. *2: Turning this function on will slightly change the angle of view and image quality. Even with this function on, full correction may not be possible with some lenses.
Excellent operability and reliability in any environment. Uncompromising operability even in a compact body. Despite its compact size, the lens is equipped with three control rings for focus, zoom, and aperture, allowing for intuitive operation when shooting still images and videos. 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 to which you can assign any function. - Aperture ring/Aperture ring click switch: The aperture ring provides instant aperture control. The click function can be turned on/off with a switch. When the aperture ring click is off, aperture changes are seamless and silent. You can set it to suit your shooting situation and preferences. - Focus mode switch for instant AF/MF switching: The lens supports AF/MF switching, allowing you to quickly switch to the focus mode best suited to the situation. - Customizable Focus Hold Button on the Body: The Focus Hold button allows you to assign a function from the extensive menu on the body to customize it to suit the subject or shooting scene. - Linear Response MF for minimal time lag and excellent response. The Linear Response MF system responds responsively to even delicate manual focusing ring operation. Focus movement corresponds to the ring's rotation angle, allowing for precise focusing, so the photographer's intentions are reflected directly in rack focus operations during video recording. - Compatible with a variety of filters: Compatible with Φ67mm filters. Internal focusing prevents the filter frame from rotating, allowing for the use of circular polarizing filters commonly used in landscape photography and variable ND filters used in video recording, expanding the photographer's creative possibilities. - Reliable in a variety of environments: [Dust- and splash-proof design*] The lens features a dust- and splash-proof design*, ensuring reliability even in outdoor shooting environments. [Fluorine Coating] The fluorine coating applied to the front lens element makes it difficult for fingerprints, dust, water droplets, oil, and mud to adhere to the lens surface, and even if they do adhere, they can be easily removed. *Although the lens is designed to be dust-proof and water-resistant, it does not completely prevent dust and water from entering.
