Sony FE 24–70 mm F2.8 GM II Lens

Sony SEL-2470GM2 (SEL/2470GM2, SEL_2470GM2, SEL2470GM2, SEL 2470GM2) FE 24–70 mm F2.8 GM II Lens

The 24-70mm F2.8 GM II is perfect for event and wedding photographers, or any professional who wants the best quality general-purpose lens for their Alpha mirrorless camera.

Its advanced optical design includes two ED (Extra-Low Dispersion), two Super ED, two XA (Extreme Aspherical), and three aspherical elements, ensuring outstanding resolution with this Sony camera lens. Beautiful background defocuses (bokeh) are achieved with an 11-blade circular aperture.

Four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors with their complex construction deliver faster, more accurate focusing capabilities for both photography and videography.

An incredible Sony E-mount lens for video, the SEL2470GM2 delivers smooth, fast, continuous autofocus performance for movie shooting, with minimised focus breathing, and focus shift and axis shift when zooming, for refined imagery.

Next-generation G Master standard zoom

The FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM is an updated “holy trinity” standard zoom, packing evolved optics and AF performance into a convenient, compact, lightweight zoom design that offers maximum mobility for both stills and movies. It is an ideal match for high-performance compact α system bodies, and will cover a wide range of shooting situations.

High resolution rivals the best primes

Excellent contrast at high spatial frequencies means superb resolution even at F2.8. Two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements, and a floating focus mechanism control chromatic aberration, astigmatism, distortion, and coma at all zoom and aperture settings. Nano AR Coating II subdues flare and ghosting for outstanding clarity.

Stunning G Master bokeh

Exquisite F2.8 bokeh extends throughout the zoom range thanks to advanced optical design and a new 11-blade aperture unit. Bokeh is enhanced by precise control of spherical aberration during design and for each lens during manufacture. Two XA elements with 0.01-micron precision suppress onion ring bokeh. Minimum focusing distance is 0.21 meters at 24 mm and 0.30 meters at 70 mm, with max. magnification of 0.32x.

The most compact, lightweight, and versatile in its class

The smallest and lightest2 F2.8 24-70mm zoom in its class, this lens offers unprecedented flexibility and freedom. It weighs just 695 grams, 191 grams less than the previous model. Its length has been reduced by 16 mm, and overall volume has been reduced by approximately 18%. Impressive portability and mobility make it a good choice for professional or enthusiast still or movie use in a wide range of situations.

Fast, precise AF and excellent response

Four of Sony’s original XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors, a floating focus mechanism, and advanced lens control achieve high AF precision and approximately 2x better-tracking performance while zooming than the previous model. With a compatible body it can shoot at up to 30 frames per second. The new aperture unit also contributes to high speed, enabling full AF tracking performance even when shooting with the aperture stopped down
