Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GMII: Features
Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GMII lens features a compact and lightweight design that allows users easily carry the lens. Also, the lens claims to offer sharp and detailed output for both stills and videos.
The new lens features high resolution across the frame—even with the aperture wide open. It features a completely redesigned optical path that features five aspherical elements, including two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements. The FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II also includes two ED (extra-low dispersion) plus two Super ED glass elements.
Sony has also implemented a new floating focus mechanism that helps minimise chromatic aberration, astigmatism, distortion and coma.
This is thanks to Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II which produces a uniform anti-reflecting coating on the lens surface. The FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II comes with an advanced optical design and a newly developed 11-blade aperture unit to deliver bokeh effect across the zoom range.
The lens is also capable of capturing close-up shots with a minimum focusing distance of 8.25 inches (0.21 meters) at 24 mm and 12 inches (0.30 meters) at 70 mm.
