Exceptional Image Quality and Advanced Optical Design
The new lens is based on an advanced optical design that includes 16 elements in 13 groups, optimized to deliver superb resolution and clarity, along with smooth, beautiful bokeh. The constant f/2.8 aperture allows users to capture stunning images in low-light conditions and achieve shallow depth of field.
The use of four aspherical elements helps reduce spherical aberrations and distortions, while minimizing the "onion ring" effect in bokeh. Two extra-low dispersion elements suppress chromatic aberration and color fringing, ensuring clarity and accurate colors.
Fast and Precise Autofocus
The autofocus system in the new lens has been optimized to deliver faster performance, improved close-up shooting, and enhanced control. Linear motors in the autofocus system improve performance, resulting in faster, quieter, and more precise autofocus, ideal for both video and still photography.
Compact, Lightweight and Durable Design
With its bright maximum f/2.8 aperture in a compact and lightweight design, the lens is ready for a wide range of uses, while remaining durable and weather-sealed for use in tough working conditions.
The lens includes a programmable focus hold button and focus mode switch for intuitive focus control. The dust- and moisture-resistant design allows use in bad weather conditions. The front element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, making the lens easier to clean.
Conclusion
The Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G lens is a valuable addition to Sony's lens lineup, delivering exceptional image quality, fast autofocus performance, and advanced video capabilities in a compact, lightweight design perfect for everyday use.
