With a 24-50 mm range that is well matched for everyday use, the Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G Lens combines a large f/2.8 constant aperture with outstanding G Lens™ image quality in a remarkably compact, lightweight design. With fast, precise AF and comprehensive control, this versatile lens is an ideal choice for stills and movies anywhere.

An advanced optical design that includes four aspherical elements and two ED (Extra low Dispersion) elements delivers high resolution throughout the 24-50mm zoom range. Flare, ghosting, and color bleeding are effectively subdued for clear, detailed rendering.

Painstaking optical optimization has achieved excellent close-up performance at all focal lengths. Maximum magnification is 0.3x (AF)/0.33x (MF) with a minimum focus distance of 0.19 m (0.63 ft) (AF)/0.18 m (0.59 ft) (MF) at the wide end of the range for superb close-up performance that, combined with compact size, makes this lens great for tabletop photography.

Even though it boasts a high-performance optical design with four aspherical elements and a large f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens is only 74.8 mm in diameter by 92.3 mm in length (3 x 3-3/4 inch). Optimized construction enhances durability while reducing weight to 440 grams (15.6 oz. - appx) for agile mobility and minimum stress during long shooting sessions.

In addition to three control rings the FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G includes a customizable focus hold button and AF/MF switch. Linear Response MF ensures immediate, intuitive manual focus control. Internal focus makes it easy to use rotatable 67 mm filters, such as variable ND types that are often used when shooting movies.
