G Master Image Quality

High Resolution and Clarity

Optics are redesigned to rival prime lenses, providing exceptional sharpness, reduced aberrations, and superior bokeh performance with its 11-blade rounded diaphragm.

Advanced Optical Elements

The design incorporates two ED elements, two Super ED elements, and five aspherical elements including two extreme aspherical (XA) elements. These minimize distortion, chromatic aberration, and onion-ring bokeh.

Coatings

Nano AR Coating II helps suppress flare and ghosting by reducing internal reflections, while a fluorine-coated front element resists oil, water, and debris.

Autofocus and Floating Focus System

High-Speed Autofocus

Four XD Linear Motors deliver faster, quieter, and more precise autofocus performance than previous systems, maintaining tracking even at high frame rates up to 30 fps.

Close-Up Performance

The floating focus mechanism ensures optimal image quality throughout the focusing range, achieving a minimum focusing distance of 21 cm at 24mm and 30 cm at 70mm, with a maximum magnification of 0.32x.

Internal Focus

The internal focusing design keeps the lens length stable during operation and improves handling responsiveness.

Video-Oriented Features

Cinematic Stability

Focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift during zooming are minimized to maintain framing accuracy during recording. The lens supports Breathing Compensation on compatible Sony cameras.

Improved Operation for Filmmakers

Features include Linear Response MF, a manual aperture ring with a de-click option, and adjustable zoom smoothness for customized torque.

Design and Durability

Portable and Robust

Being 22% lighter and 18% smaller than its predecessor, this lens enhances mobility without sacrificing professional durability.

Weather Protection

A dust- and moisture-resistant structure with sealing around seams and the mount ensures reliability outdoors.
