A fast and flexible wide-angle zoom, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens from Sony
is a wide-angle zoom designed for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras.
Distinguished by its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens offers
consistent performance throughout the zoom range and benefits working in
low-light conditions. The optical design incorporates two extra-low dispersion
elements to reduce chromatic aberrations along with two XA elements and three
aspherical elements, which significantly controls spherical aberrations for a
high degree of image sharpness and clarity. Additionally, a Nano AR coating has
been applied to limit ghosting and lens flare for increased contrast and color
fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Complementing the optical assets, this lens is also notable for its inclusion of
an 11-blade circular diaphragm to produce smooth, soft-edged bokeh with
selective focus imagery. For controlling focus, two Direct Drive SSM AF groups
are employed that are quick and quiet, and also lend more responsive control for
manual focus operation. The lens also sports a dust- and moisture-sealed design
to support shooting in inclement conditions and a dedicated focus hold button
and AF/MF switch.
