Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master Full-Frame Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens (Black)

The Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master is a full-frame constant f/2.8 aperture zoom lens with 12-24mm focal length. The ultra-wide 12mm fills your frame with full scenes of Landscapes, architecture, street views and even sports. Furthermore, the fast f/2.8 aperture captures breath taking night scenes, starry skies and low-light images whether indoors or out and without having to over increase ISO or slowing your shutter speed.

Spectacular Resolution

The FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM incorporates three extremely precise XA (extreme aspherical) elements - manufactured to 0.01-micron surface precision - in an innovative optical design that achieves stunning G Master resolution throughout the image area, while delivering smooth, creamy bokeh in out-of-focus areas. The largest XA element ever made for an Alpha lens is first in the optical path, followed by one more XA elements and an aspherical element with the final XA element at the back of the lens group, effectively minimizing astigmatism, coma and field curvature for incredibly sharp images from the center, right out to the image edges.

Crisp Clear Images

Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that reduce chromatic aberration, plus two Super ED glass elements that provide even more powerful chromatic aberration suppression, combine to minimize color fringing in high contrast scenes which challenge wide angle lenses.

Nano Anti-Reflective Coating II Enhances Clarity

A new Nano Anti-Reflective Coating II has been developed that can be evenly applied to large lens elements or highly curved element surfaces to suppress internal reflections and minimize flare and ghosting for clear, crisp imagery. Despite the lens's wide angle of view, Nano Anti-Reflective Coating II maintains high clarity and contrast throughout the entire image, even in difficult light.

XD Linear Motors

The FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM employs four high-speed, high-thrust XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, two for each of the lens’s focus groups, for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking. The outstanding performance makes full use of the speed potential provided by premium E-mount cameras like the Alpha 9-series, making it easier to capture significant moments in the most dynamic sports or other types of action. Operation is also quiet with minimal vibration making it ideal for movie capture.

Dust and Moisture Resistant

The dust and moisture resistant design make this lens appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather resistant measures, providing the reliability needed in challenging conditions.

Floating Focus Mechanism

A floating focus mechanism that divides the lens’s focus group into two independently controllable groups is extremely effective in minimizing aberration that varies with focusing distance. Top performance is maintained throughout the entire zoom range, from close-up to infinity focus. The floating mechanism not only contributes to outstanding performance, but also outstanding sharpness and resolution with subjects at any distance.

Close-Up, Wide Angle Shooting

Get a unique perspective through close-up, wide angle shooting. Thanks to significant aberration reduction achieved by the floating focus mechanism, the FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM realizes a constant 11-inch (0.28-meter) minimum focusing distance throughout the zoom range with a with a maximum magnification of 0.14x. Being an internal focus lens, its length remains constant while focusing, so its center of gravity varies very little.

Natural, Linear Manual Focus Response

Linear Response MF (manual focus) ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise.
