Features

Breathtaking G Master resolution

High spatial resolution provides detailed rendering from the centre to the image edges throughout the 16–35mm zoom range, even when shooting wide open. Five aspherical elements, including three XA elements, help control aberrations while delivering an outstanding combination of high resolution and beautiful bokeh.

Extraordinary resolution and bokeh

The large F2.8 maximum aperture, advanced optical design and 11-blade aperture unit produce smooth, beautiful bokeh. The lens also provides a minimum focusing distance of 0.22m throughout the zoom range and maximum magnification of 0.32x for close-up shooting and dynamic perspectives.

Refined for outstanding movie imagery

Reduced focus breathing, focus shift and axis shift during zooming contribute to smooth movie imagery. XD Linear Motors and the advanced aperture unit help reduce noise and vibration, while the stable centre of gravity supports agile handheld operation and gimbal shooting.

AF that is smooth, precise, quiet and lightning-fast

The floating focus mechanism uses four XD Linear Motors and precise lens control for up to approximately 2x higher AF speed. With compatible Sony α-series bodies, the lens supports continuous shooting up to 30fps and provides reliable focus acquisition and smooth subject tracking for stills and movies.

The world's smallest and lightest in its class

The FE 16–35mm F2.8 GM II combines advanced XA elements and Super ED glass with lightweight, high-thrust XD Linear Motors. At just 547g and 111.5mm in length, it is designed for high mobility while maintaining extraordinary imaging performance.

Professional control and reliability

A click ON/OFF switch and lock switch provide flexible aperture control, while two focus hold buttons offer convenient operation for horizontal and vertical shooting. Structural sealing, silicone rubber gaskets and a rubber lens-mount ring help provide protection against dust and moisture.
