Sony has launched the FE 28-70mm F2 G Master, a premium E-mount lens that boasts a constant F2 aperture across the zoom range. This versatile lens delivers exceptional sharpness, beautiful bokeh, and high-resolution performance, rivaling prime lenses, making it perfect for both stills and video. Its compact, lightweight design makes it ideal for capturing a wide variety of scenes, from portraits to sports and documentaries.
The FE 28-70mm F2 G Master is the first G Master lens to feature a constant F2 aperture, offering photographers and videographers remarkable creative freedom. Advanced optical design, including three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, ensures corner-to-corner resolution at F2, even at close focus distances. The lens also incorporates Sony’s Nano AR Coating II to reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring clarity even when strong light sources are in the frame.
Weighing just 918g, the lens is designed for stress-free shooting, packing superb optics and functionality into a compact form. Equipped with four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors, it provides precise autofocus tracking with instant response, making it ideal for fast-moving subjects such as in weddings or sports events.
For filmmakers, the FE 28-70mm F2 G Master offers minimal focus breathing and smooth rack focus and zoom effects, essential for high-frame-rate 4K 120p/FHD 240p recording. The lens is also fully compatible with Sony’s α9 III camera for high-speed continuous shooting at up to 120 frames per second, with tracking maintained even while zooming.
The lens includes various professional features such as Linear Response MF for intuitive manual focus, adjustable zoom ring torque, and an aperture ring with a click ON/OFF switch. Its durable design includes moisture and dust resistance, making it reliable for outdoor shoots.
The FE 28-70mm F2 G Master will be available in Malaysia from December 2024.
