The Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM is a premium constant maximum aperture full-frame (FE) zoom lens for the Sony E-mount, announced by Sony on February 3, 2016.[1][2]
Though designed for Sony's full frame E-mount cameras, the lens can be used on Sony's APS-C E-mount camera bodies, with an equivalent full-frame field-of-view of 36-105mm.
In 2022, an updated version of this lens called the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II was released. It is the smallest and lightest full-frame 24-70mm F2.8 lens on the market at 120 millimeters in length and 695 grams.
Build quality
The lens showcases a matte-black weather resistant plastic exterior with a rubber focus and zoom ring. There is also a zoom lock to prevent zoom creep and an Autofocus-Manual focus switch. The barrel of the lens telescopes outward from the main lens body as it's zoomed in from 24mm to 70mm.
