Sony FE 28-70mm f/2 GM Lens: Unprecedented Constant f/2 Zoom for Full-Frame E-Mount
Step into a new realm of creative possibilities with the groundbreaking Sony FE 28-70mm f/2 GM Lens. This truly unique addition to the esteemed G Master series delivers a constant f/2 maximum aperture across its versatile 28-70mm focal length range, providing exceptional background defocus and outstanding low-light performance for photographers and videographers throughout Australia. Despite its remarkable technical specifications, this lens is surprisingly portable, weighing just 918g – significantly lighter than comparable optics, making it ideal for demanding professionals in Sydney and beyond.
Experience sharp, refined rendering with prime-like quality throughout the entire zoom range, even at f/2. The advanced optical design incorporates three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, one ED (extra-low dispersion) element, and three Super ED elements to minimize aberrations and ensure high corner-to-corner resolution. Sony's Nano AR Coating II effectively cuts flare and ghosting, while the floating focus mechanism enhances close-focus resolution. The gorgeous G Master bokeh adds incredible dimensionality to your images and videos.
This compact and mobile lens is packed with superb optics and functionality. The constant f/2 aperture offers twice the light-gathering capability of typical f/2.8 zooms, providing unparalleled creative scope. The fast and precise autofocus is driven by four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and the latest algorithms, ensuring precise and tenacious AF tracking with instant response, crucial for capturing fleeting moments at weddings, sports events, and fast-paced action across Australia. This lens is fully compatible with the high-speed burst capabilities of advanced α series bodies, maintaining smooth tracking even while zooming.
Designed for refined and expressive movie production, the FE 28-70mm f/2 GM effectively reduces focus breathing for smooth imagery with minimal angle-of-view instability. Achieve cinematic rack focus and zoom effects with the shallow f/2 depth of field. The quiet operation of the XD linear motors and a new aperture unit, along with α body breathing compensation support, makes this lens an excellent choice for video creators.
Professional operability and reliability are paramount. The Linear Response MF provides intuitive manual focus control, the zoom ring torque is adjustable for a customized feel, and the aperture ring with a click ON/OFF switch offers tactile aperture control. Two customizable focus hold buttons provide added flexibility. The dust and moisture-resistant design ensures reliability in challenging outdoor conditions, while a fluorine coating on the front element effectively repels contaminants.
