Description

When you want to take photos in challenging conditions, this Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 lens rises to the fore. Aspherical lens elements reduce flareand ghosting substantially, while the extra-low dispersion glass produces significantly less chromatic aberration even at wide focal angles. As a result, this zoom lens is ideal for bright sunlit days where pinpoint precision is required as well as for darker rooms where light gathering efficiency is prized.

This powerful digital lens works with A-mount full-frame and cropsensor cameras thanks to its versatile aperture width, and with a mount adapter,it can even be used with E-mount camera systems. Its compact dimensions, dust and moisture resistance and light weight ensure this Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 lens is versatile enough to take anywhere.

Zoom with prime lens performance
The popular ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F2.8 zoom has been refined for even better performance. This lens is already widely regarded as being more like a prime lens than a zoom in terms of image quality, but the new edition further reduces ghosting for a notable improvement in clarity. Lens processing has also been revised for faster subject tracking, and it is dust and moisture resistant.

• Outstanding image quality
• Bright F2.8 standard zoom
• Smooth, quiet focusing
• Versatile control

Prime lens quality in a versatile zoom
Prime lens-class resolution and contrast are achieved thanks to two aspherical elements and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements in a precision ZEISS optical design.

Great results in low light
A bright constant F2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range means consistent exposure settings at any focal length plus improved low-light capability.

Smooth, quiet SSM focusing
The SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) drive system coupled with an internal focus mechanism achieves smooth, silent autofocus operation and fast response.

Focus mode switch and hold button A focus mode switch and focus hold button on the barrel offer extra focusing versatility and control.

Lens Configuration
Legendary ZEISS quality manufactured and calibrated specifically for Sony imaging products. The ZEISS T* coating contributes to exquisite rendering and contrast.

Compatible with:
• A-mount Full Frame Cameras
• A-mount APS-C Cameras
• E-mount Full Frame cameras with Mount Adapter (not included)
• E-mount APS-C cameras with Mount Adapter (not included)

Features

Sony 24-70mm F2.8 II Features

Unmatched ZEISS T* (T-star) Coating: ZEISS T* (T-Star) coating that virtually eliminates lens flare, internal reflection and light scattering that can otherwise occur at glass-to-air surfaces. The T* coating contributes to outstanding image quality, with high contrast and uniformly excellent resolution right out to the image edges.
Circular Aperture: When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens.
Aspherical Lens Elements: Aspherical lens design dramatically reduces spherical aberration while also reducing lens size and weight.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass: ED glass dramatically reduces chromatic aberration and provides superior contrast across the entire image, even at large aperture settings. Super ED glass provides enhanced compensation for chromatic aberration.
SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor): SSM is a piezoelectric motor that contributes to smooth and silent AF operation. The motor produces high torque at slow rotation, and provides immediate start and stop responses. It is also extremely quiet, which helps keep autofocusing silent.
Dust and Moisture Resistant Design: The dust and moisture resistance design makes this lens appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather resistant measures such as the Sony’s a7 series of cameras.
Internal Focusing: Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change when focusing. Other benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient when using a polarizing filter
Focus Hold Button: Once you’ve adjusted focus to where you want it, pressing this button on the lens barrel will keep the lens locked to that focusing distance. The preview function can also be assigned to this button through the camera’s custom settings.
Distance Encoder: The distance encoder is a lens component that directly detects the position of the focusing mechanism, and sends a signal to the CPU in order to measure distance to the subject. During flash photography, this data is very useful in calculating how much flash output is appropriate to the scene.
ADI Flash Metering: when using a flash that has a built-in distance encoder. It provides automatic metering that is virtually unaffected by the reflectance of subjects or backgrounds. Precise distance information is obtained through the encoder, and this data is used to compensate the flash output accordingly
Improved Internal focusing system: 4x faster subject tracking
Silent AF and iris (aperture) Drive: ideal for movie capture
