Comprising a range of ultra-wide fields of view the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM is a bright and versatile zoom characterized by its broad range and bright design. Featuring a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture this lens is ideal for working in available lighting conditions and controlling depth of field to isolate subject matter. Its advanced optical design includes a series of XA aspherical Super ED and ED elements which combine to reduce a variety of aberrations and distortions for a high degree of sharpness accurate rendering and notable color accuracy. An updated Nano AR Coating II has also been applied which suppresses flare and ghosting for greater contrast when working in bright and backlit conditions.

Complementing the optics is an XD Linear Motor system that uses four separate focusing motors to deliver especially quiet precise and quick autofocus performance. A floating focus design is employed too that aids in maintaining consistent results throughout the focusing range from 11 to infinity. The lens also sports a dust- and moisture-sealed design and fluorine-coated front lens element to support shooting in inclement conditions and there is a built-in petal-shaped lens hood to block stray light and physically protect the front element.

As part of Sonys esteemed G Master series this lens is designed to achieve notably high resolution and sharpness through the correction of a wide variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations. Additionally these lenses feature robust and intuitive-to-handle physical designs to benefit both photography and cine applications.
Versatile ultra-wide-angle zoom is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras however can also be used on APS-C models where it provides an 18-36mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field.
Three XA (extreme aspherical) elements and one standard aspherical element are incorporated into the optical design which features superior surface precision for effective control over astigmatism field curvature coma distortion and other spherical aberrations for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.
Two Super ED elements and three extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the lens design and help to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.
Nano AR Coating II has been applied to reduce surface reflections flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions. This updated coating is better suited for larger curved elements and is especially adept at minimizing internal reflections.
Floating focusing system divides the focus group into two separately controlled groups and helps to maintain consistently clear optical performance throughout the zoom and focus ranges.
