Four aspherical elements and two ED (Extra low Dispersion) elements deliver high resolution throughout the 24–50 mm zoom range. Flare, ghosting, and colour bleeding are subdued for clear rendering, while F2.8 and an 11-blade circular aperture unit can create stunning G Lens bokeh. Maximum magnification is 0.3x (AF)/0.33x (MF) with a minimum focus distance of 0.19 m (0.63 ft) (AF)/0.18 m (0.59 ft) (MF) at the wide end for stunning close-ups.
Two specially optimised linear motors and a precision control system acquire focus on any subject with remarkable speed and accuracy. Tracking performance is also excellent and fully capable of keeping up even with Sony's advanced model α9 III body at up to 120 fps. Precise, quiet focus is smoothly acquired and maintained even when shooting high frame rate 4K 120p or FHD 240p movies.
With four aspherical elements and a large F2.8 maximum aperture in an optical design that delivers outstanding imaging performance, this innovative lens is no more than 74.8 mm in diameter by 92.3 mm in length (3.75). The use of engineering plastics for some components enhances durability while reducing weight to just 440 grams (15.6 oz) for agile mobility and minimum stress during long shooting sessions.
Precise, quiet AF and an F2.8 aperture in a compact, lightweight zoom can be an advantage for movies. Minimal centre of gravity shift makes this lens a good choice for gimbal or drone mounting. And combined with in-body Active Mode stabilisation it can deliver stable handheld footage at wide angles while walking around. It also supports body breathing compensation and metadata recording.
Focus, zoom, and aperture rings provide comprehensive control. The aperture ring features switchable click stops. A customisable focus hold button and AF/MF switch are also provided. Linear Response MF ensures immediate, intuitive manual focus control. A dust- and moisture-resistant design maximises reliability in challenging outdoor conditions, and the front element features a fluorine coating. Filter diameter is 67 mm.
Impeccable Sony G Lens design emphasises a graceful balance between high resolution and gorgeous background bokeh that can enhance the artist's vision.
