Unleashing the ultimate wide-angle versatility, the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM combines the prowess of the G Master performance with a compact, fast, and flexible design. This wide-angle zoom lens covers an expansive range, from ultra-wide to standard wide-angle fields of view, making it an ideal choice for capturing landscapes, lifestyle shots, and architectural marvels. With its advanced optics, bright f/2.8 aperture, and adaptable zoom capabilities, it thrives in various shooting conditions.

G Master Design

As a proud member of Sony’s esteemed G Master series, this lens is meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional resolution and sharpness by effectively correcting a wide array of spherical and chromatic aberrations.
The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture empowers photographers to conquer challenging lighting situations while maintaining greater control over depth of field.
Thanks to the Nano AR Coating, surface reflections, flare, and ghosting are significantly reduced, resulting in enhanced contrast and vivid color reproduction, particularly in strong lighting conditions.
The rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to the creation of captivating bokeh when utilizing shallow depth of field techniques.

The optical design incorporates two XA (extreme aspherical) elements and three standard aspherical elements, showcasing superior surface precision that combats astigmatism, field curvature, coma, distortion, and other spherical aberrations, ultimately ensuring impeccable sharpness and accurate rendering.
To enhance clarity and color neutrality, two ED (extra-low dispersion) elements are thoughtfully integrated into the lens design, effectively minimizing chromatic aberrations and color fringing.
Practical and Intuitive Handling

Employing two Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) autofocus groups, the lens achieves rapid, silent, and precise focusing performance, catering to both still photography and video applications.
A floating focusing system intelligently divides the focus group into two separately controlled units, ensuring consistent optical performance throughout the zoom and focus ranges.
For direct and tactile control over focus settings, the lens incorporates a dedicated focus hold button and an AF/MF switch.
Built to withstand various environmental conditions, the dust- and moisture-sealed design instills confidence when shooting in inclement weather, while the rubberized control rings provide enhanced handling, even in colder temperatures.
The front element is treated with a fluorine coating that repels fingerprints and guards against dust, ensuring the lens maintains its pristine condition.
