Product Description
The perfect standard zoom for everyday works of art
This compact full-frame F2.8 standard zoom lens is an excellent match for
α-series bodies, with advanced lens technology ensuring that body performance is
fully realized. 24-50 mm is an ideal range for everyday use. Outstanding G Lens
resolution and bokeh are available at all focal lengths, and precision AF means
fast, sharp focus. Great for shooting stills and movies anywhere.
Sharp and detailed at all focal lengths
Four aspherical elements and two ED (Extra low Dispersion) elements deliver
high resolution throughout the 24-50 mm zoom range. Flare, ghosting, and color
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.
AF that brings out the best in high-performance bodies
Two specially optimized 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 Sonys 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.
A compact F2.8 zoom that is ready to go anywhere
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 x 3-3/4 inch).
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.
Constant F2.8 in a mobile zoom is great for movies
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.
Comprehensive control in a compact lens
Focus, zoom, and aperture rings provide comprehensive control. The aperture
ring features switchable click stops. A customizable 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 maximizes reliability in
challenging outdoor conditions, and the front element features a fluorine
coating. Filter diameter is 67 mm.
