Frequently Bought Together
Breathtaking G Master resolution
High spatial resolution results in detailed rendering of dynamic wide-angle scenes right out to the image edges throughout the 16–35 mm zoom range, even with the lens wide open. Five aspherical elements include three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, and aberration is controlled for a superb blend of high resolution and gorgeous bokeh.Extraordinary resolution and bokeh
Smooth, beautiful bokeh that can add depth to this remarkable lens's outstanding resolution is made possible by a large F2.8 maximum aperture, innovative optical design, and an advanced 11-blade aperture unit. Gorgeous circular bokeh can add extra appeal and expressive impact to a wide range of images.Revealing close-up performance
The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II offers outstanding close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.73 ft (0.22 m) throughout the zoom range and a maximum magnification of 0.32x. This makes it possible to get close for dynamic perspectives while deep bokeh adds extra expressive capability.Clarity with minimal flare and ghosting
Flare and ghosting can occur when the sun or other strong light source is in the frame. Sony's original Nano AR Coating II produces a uniform anti-reflection coating on lens surfaces, effectively subduing flare and ghosting in tricky lighting conditions. Internal reflections that can reduce clarity are also suppressed.Designed for refined movie imagery
The latest lens technology reduces focus breathing, focus shift, and axis shift when zooming. Image movement and angle of view variations are minimized for smooth movie imagery without distractions. XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and an advanced aperture unit also reduce noise and vibration that can interfere with movie recording.Perfectly balanced for movies
In addition to being lightweight, the FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II has been designed for ideal balance with minimal extension when zooming. A center of gravity that changes very little contributes to agile, stable maneuverability when shooting handheld, and eliminates the need for readjustment after changing the zoom setting when using a gimbal.Smooth, quiet AF for movies
Focus is especially critical when shooting slow motion or 4K/8K movies. The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II works with α-series bodies to reliably acquire focus and track even fast-moving subjects thanks to four XD Linear Motors and advanced control technology that achieve extraordinarily smooth, quiet, precise AF performance for movie shooting.Natural, linear manual focus response
Linear Response MF ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise when shooting stills or movies.Small, light, and versatile
Although the FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II is the world's smallest, lightest F2.8 16–35 mm zoom3, it delivers superb image quality with XA elements and Super ED glass in an advanced optical design. Lightweight XD Linear Motors further contribute to a low weight of just 19.3 oz (547 g); 20 lighter than the FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM. Overall length is just 4.5" (111.5 mm).Versatile hands-on aperture control
The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II features both a click ON/OFF switch and an iris lock switch for quick, flexible aperture control. The aperture ring click stops can be turned ON to provide tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF for seamless, silent aperture control when shooting movies.Dust and moisture resistant design4
The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II offers improved dust and moisture resistance4. All seams feature structural sealing, buttons and switches are fitted with silicone rubber gaskets, and a rubber ring seals the lens mount. All of these refinements work together to minimize the possibility of dust and moisture incursion in challenging outdoor environments.Lens Specifications | |
