Sony – FE 12-24mm F2.8 G MASTER Full-frame Constant-aperture Ultra-wide Zoom Lens – Black $1,440.00 Save:$809.00(36%)
Description
  • World’s widest full-frame constant F2.8 12-24mm zoom
    Introducing the world’s widest full-frame constant F2.8 aperture zoom lens1 with 12-24mm focal length. The ultra-wide 12mm fills your frame with full scenes of Landscapes, architecture, street views and even sports.
  • Crisp clear images
    Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that reduce chromatic aberration, plus two Super ED glass elements that provide even more powerful chromatic aberration suppression, combine to minimize color fringing in high contrast scenes which challenge wide angle lenses.
  • New Nano AR Coating II enhances clarity
    A new Nano AR Coating II has been developed that can be evenly applied to large lens elements or highly curved element surfaces to suppress internal reflections and minimize flare and ghosting for clear, crisp imagery.
  • XD Linear Motors achieve outstanding AF performance
    The FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM employs four high-speed, high-thrust XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors, two for each of the lens’s focus groups, for fast, precise continuous autofocus and tracking.
  • Dust and moisture resistant
    The dust and moisture resistant design make this lens appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use, especially when combined with a camera that employs weather resistant measures, providing the reliability needed in challenging conditions.
  • Beautiful G Master Bokeh
    Fine tuning of the lens’s spherical aberration characteristics during both design and manufacture contributes to its impressive blend of high resolution and smooth bokeh.
  • Customizable multi-function focus hold button
    A focus hold button, focus mode switch, zoom ring, focus ring, and other controls are designed and positioned for easy operation and a smooth workflow.
  • Natural, linear manual focus response
    Linear Response MF (manual focus) ensures that the focus ring responds directly and linearly to subtle control when focusing manually. Focus ring rotation translates directly to a corresponding change in focus, so control feels immediate and precise.
  • Instant auto/manual focus selection
    Instantly and quickly switch between auto and manual focus via an AF/MF switch on the side of the lens. This makes operation faster and easier as you let the camera and lens focus for you or decide to take control and manually focus on the precise point you choose.
  • Fluorine front element coating
    The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while making it easier to wipe off any contaminants or fingerprints that do become attached to the lens surface.
  • Integral petal-style lens hood
    An integral lens hood effectively blocks off-axis light that can cause flare and ghosting. The supplied lens cap covers the hood, attaching easily and locking securely with the hood at any angle.
  • Moviemaking advantage
    The FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM lens has clear advantages for moviemaking. With an ultra-wide 12mm angle of view, four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors for fast, precise and quiet autofocus and tracking, this lens is ideal for all types of content creators.
  • 35mm equivalent on APS-C and Super-35bodies
    The FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM lens is highly recommended for full-frame as well as APS-C and Super-35 users. It balances well on smaller format bodies, providing a very useful wide-angle focal length of 18-36mm (35mm full-frame format equivalent).

    I think most photographers have been waiting for a lens with these specs for some time. Sony upped the game by creating the first 12-24mm f/2.8 lens EVER. I was initially a little worried about distortion and vignetting with such a wide lens, but they’re both actually pretty minimal even wide open at 12mm.

    It should come as no surprise that this lens produces top image quality given that it’s part of Sony’s G Master lineup. Images are impressively sharp wide open at f/2.8 and obviously sharpness increases a bit by stopping down.

    Sony’s new Nano AR II coating does an amazing job at removing ghosting and flares when shooting in difficult lighting. I was shocked at the clarity and contrast in my images when shooting into the sun.

    Astrophotography with this lens is a DREAM. There are very few lens imperfections; stars are sharp white dots from center to corners, which made me a very happy astro shooter. It’s pretty incredible to be able to use a 20 second shutter speed without seeing any star trails.

    As a Sony Alpha Imaging Collective Member, I’ve been fortunate enough to use just about every G Master lens created, and this has become one of my favorites. Overall it completes my Sony G Master zoom trio from 12mm-200mm, and I highly recommend it if you’re in the market for a fast, wide zoom.

    This lens is worth every penny. I am blown away by how incredibly good the shots are with it.

  3. Garrette

    An absolute brilliant piece of glass. At 2.8 this rectilinear lens meets all my needs and demands on any shoot where epic wide scenes are needed. There isn’t another manufacture that makes a 12-24 at 2.8! So far it’s taken everything I’ve thrown at it without having to worry about bowing edges even when I’m up closer to my subject. I previously owned the 12-24 G and this is definitely quite the upgrade. Better colors and the additional nano coating really cuts out flaring and haze that I saw on the non GM version.

    Not inexpensive but if you’re a pro it’ll pay for itself in no time flat!

    It is expensive but its just amazing and honestly worth every penny. The auto focus is out of this world and the sharpness is incredible. There also isnt much distortion which is something you would see a lot with other wide angle lenses. I hope sony makes a 24-70 with similar specs because if they do I will buy it immediately.

  6. Bryans

    So yes, it does give you a fisheye effect on the edges at 12mm. But either way, it is a sharp lens! I did astro and i LOVED how my timelapse came out. I love the wide angle. I can deal with the curbed edges, its not that bad, for me personally. I dont have anything bad to sag about it. If you like astro, landscape, or creative shots this is the lens for you.
    This lens is wider then my widest angle on my iphone 12

    Oh now that I think about it, its way too expensive..

  7. yont132

    Known as one of many lenses that can photograph the sky within the darkness and it works as advertised. Sony’s engineering with their digital lenses has just scratched the surface what the scientific method is capable within digital video and photography. The future for mirrorless is bright and what lies beyond the the horizon is anyone’s guess.

  8. DarkSavior

    This lens has been like a dream I honestly love how it can get that which before wasn’t able to be completely captured in one picture all in a single frame this lens brings me back to that time

  9. DABphotography

    I really do enjoy this lens but… I will say for the amount of many this lens cost you would think the distortion would be maintained a little better then what it produces in its images but overall i am satisfied with this lens.

  10. rex450se

    I have been eyeing this lens since it was announced but was a little hesitant to purchase due to the cost. But it is worth every penny. I have the 16-35 G Master and the extra 4mm on the wide end make a much bigger difference than you’d think. Neither Canon or Nikon offer this fast of a lens this wide. It’s amazing what Sony was able to do.

  11. Aux1

    I bought this for the autofocus speed and compatibility for my A7Siii, great for action sports!!!

  12. Nocard

    Exceptional sharpness and excellent handling. A shame it does not take standard filters, but you can’t have it all. This is now permanently in my travel landscape kit.

  13. Fuzzball

    Best lens I’ve ever owned! Super sharp! No “fish-eye” quality to the lens, lines are straight and not curve all the way to the edges. Very short minimum focus distance!

  14. Gwww

    Amazing clarity! So easy to use. Worth the money! I love the quality and feel of this lens.

  15. DanielS

    Very nice lens, as expected with Sony GM lenses. I love it!

  16. JVJV

    Incredible Lens! Came from the Prime Sony 50mm f1.8 so of course this quality and focal length is a night and day difference! The Bokeh is also extra blurry. The lighting I used below for these photos was the versatile Luxli Viola 2 and I also did some light editing.

  17. Mrfirefighter

    Astrophography for dummies! I am new to the game and with the help of this lens I have been able to produce professional looking shots.

  18. Nouna

    This lens is truly one of a kind! worth every penny! Do not regret having spent the $$$

  19. Hossein

    i love my new lens , its amazing , I always wants to buy it and i did

  20. AndresG

    I love wide-angles. If you do too, this is a great one to have. Very good for street photography, documentary, landscape and if you want a set to go with it add a 24-70mm a 70-200mm and a 200-600mm.

  21. BruceR

    Best lens money can buy for wide and wider. Works great in low light!

  22. Kenz

    Phenomenal lens! The photos that are produced with this lens make it feel like you are immersed into the scenery, memorializing your adventures forever. Highly recommend.

  23. JeffreyF

    A bit expensive, but the results you can get this lens are very impressive.

  24. gcarruth

    Beautiful lens. After lots of research, this was the best I found.

  25. MBALLFPV

    The sony 12-24 F2.8 is a great lens. The sharpness is fantastic and being able to get that extra wide, while being able to zoom in is perfect. This lens is a perfect addition to any collection of lenses. I cannot recommend it enough.
