Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lens
The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lens is smaller, lighter and more optically superior than its predecessor. This wide-angle G Master lens produces stunning image resolution with impressive corner-to-corner sharpness, even at the 16mm wide angle. It is a classic focal length that can be applied to a wide range of photographic genres including landscape, street, travel, wedding and events. 

Superior Image Quality
Integrating the best optical technology from Sony’s G Master lens range, the FE 16-35 f2.8 Mark II uses the most up-to-date technology to deliver supreme imagery. It incorporates 15 elements in 12 groups, each manufactured to a professional level. 

These special elements, including Super ED, Aspherical, XA and ED ASPH glass, combine to reduce any undesired colour fringing as well as ghosting and flares that can become apparent when shooting into direct sunlight.

Excellent Autofocus
Sony’s tried and tested XD Linear Motor technology ensures effortless, pinpoint focus on every shot. Working with your camera’s state-of-the-art subject tracking this lens guarantees precise, fast and silent focusing that is perfect for photographers and filmmakers. 

Part of the f2.8 GM II Family
F2.8 is the go-to aperture choice for any photographer looking for the best imagery. It allows a huge amount of light in, meaning these lenses can be used in darker or more complex lighting scenarios. They also offer delightful focusing options with creamy bokeh and excellent subject separation. 

Being a part of the G Master family, this lens will certainly keep up with your Sony Alpha camera. Pair with the latest Alpha to unlock extraordinary capabilities like capturing up to 30 frames per second with the Sony a1, or flawless autofocus tracking with the Sony a7r V.

World’s smallest & lightest f2.8 wide-angle zoom*
20% lighter than its predecessor, the FE 16-35mm GM2 weighs only 547g so you barely notice the lens mounted to your camera. It measures just 111mm in length and, thanks to its unique design, only extends by 8mm when zoomed to preserve the lens’ centre of gravity.
