Sharp and detailed at all focal lengths Three ED (Extra low Dispersion) glass elements and four aspherical elements that include one ED Aspherical glass element deliver high resolution from 16 mm to 25 mm. Flare, ghosting, and colour bleeding are subdued for clarity, while F2.8 and 11 aperture blades create stunning G Lens bokeh. Max. magnification is 0.2x (AF)/0.23x (MF) with a minimum focus distance of 0.18 m (0.59ft) (AF)/0.17 m (0.56ft) (MF) at the wide end for stunning close-ups. AF that brings out the best in high-performance bodies Two specially optimised 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 Sony's advanced model a9 III body at up to 120 fps2. Precise, quiet focus is smoothly acquired and maintained even when shooting high frame rate 4K 120p or FHD 240p movies3. A compact F2.8 wide zoom that is ready to go anywhere With four aspherical elements that include one ED Aspherical glass element, and a large F2.8 maximum aperture in a high-performance optical design, this innovative lens is no more than 74.8 mm in diameter by 91.4 mm in length (3 x 3-5/8 inch). The use of engineering plastics for some components enhances durability while reducing weight to just 409 grams (14.5 oz.), making this a low-stress F2.8 choice for long shooting sessions or low-light situations. Constant F2.8 in a mobile zoom is great for movies Wide angles, F2.8 in a compact, lightweight zoom that can be easily handheld, and quiet AF can be significant advantages for movies. Minimal zoom extension and centre of gravity shift make gimbal or drone mounting easy too. And combined with in-body Active Mode stabilisation4 it can deliver stable handheld footage at wide angles while walking around. It also supports body breathing compensation5 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 customisable 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 maximises reliability in challenging outdoor conditions6, and the front element features a fluorine coating. Filter diameter is 67 mm. Lens Configuration Impeccable Sony G Lens design emphasises a graceful balance between high resolution and gorgeous background bokeh that can enhance the artist's vision. [1] Aspherical lens
