Sony announces world's smallest and lightest wide-angle zoom lens

This lens is the smallest and lightest in the full-frame wide-angle zoom 16-35mm segment, focal length F2.8.

Sony has just launched the G Master FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II full-frame wide-angle zoom lens (codename SEL1635GM2), using the E mount with a fixed F2.8 aperture across the entire focal range from 16mm to 35mm. Previously, Sony's second-generation F2.8 zoom lens collection included a standard zoom lens (24 - 70mm) and a telephoto zoom lens (70 - 200mm). These are all the world's lightest lenses in each segment.

The world's smallest and lightest G Master FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II has a total length of 111.5mm and weighs about 547g, 20% lighter than the previous generation.

In addition to its wide-angle bokeh capabilities, the new G Master lens also offers extremely close focusing distances across the entire focal range, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.22m and a maximum magnification of 0.32x. Sony's signature Nano AR Coating II is said to help capture clear images even when there are strong light sources in the frame.

The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II is equipped with the latest XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor. It helps the lens achieve quieter autofocus when shooting stills and movies. When combined with the Alpha 1 body, Sony announced a continuous shooting speed of up to 30 frames per second while still ensuring focus speed.

In addition, the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II also reduces focus breathing (focus position changes when focal length changes) when shooting video compared to the previous generation, now users can focus on image quality without sacrificing shooting angle. In addition, the new lens also reduces the movement of the center of gravity when zooming and creates stability when shooting, thereby optimizing the combination with a gimbal.
