What makes the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II stand out among wide-angle zooms?
It's the world's smallest and lightest full-frame F2.8 wide-angle zoom, delivering breathtaking G Master image quality right out to the edges of the frame. It also offers extraordinary resolution and bokeh throughout the zoom range.
Does the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II have optical image stabilization?
No, the lens does not include optical image stabilization and instead relies on the camera's in-body image stabilization (IBIS) when available. Its floating focus mechanism and internal focusing help maintain image quality and responsiveness across the focus range.
How does the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II control distortion and maintain sharpness?
Its advanced G Master optical design uses aspherical elements, including XA (extreme aspherical) elements, to reduce distortion and spherical aberration while maintaining corner-to-corner sharpness. ED and Super ED elements further suppress chromatic aberration and color fringing.
How fast is the autofocus on the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II?
The lens uses four XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear motors for autofocus that is quiet, highly precise, and suitable for both stills and movies. It supports advanced camera features like subject tracking and up to 30 fps burst shooting with full AF.
Is the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II good for video work?
Yes, it's well suited for video with minimized focus breathing, focus shift, and angle-of-view changes during zooming, plus support for Sony's Breathing Compensation function on compatible bodies. A click/de-click switch on the aperture ring enables smooth, silent operation ideal for video.
What is the close-focus capability of the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II?
The lens has a minimum focus distance of 0.22 m (0.73 ft) across the zoom range and a maximum magnification of 0.32x, giving surprisingly strong close-up performance for an ultra-wide zoom.
What filter size does the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II use?
It features a standard 82 mm front filter thread, compatible with common ND filters, polarizers, and other filters.
Is the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II weather sealed?
Yes, it features dust and moisture resistant sealing suitable for professional use, along with a fluorine coating on the front element to repel dust, grease, and moisture. Note that it is not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.
Can software completely fix distortion from a wide-angle lens?
Modern cameras and editing software can effectively correct barrel and pincushion distortion using lens profiles, often making it negligible for most uses. However, software cannot remove the natural perspective exaggeration of wide-angle views, so careful framing and camera positioning remain important.
How much does the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II cost?
MSRP is listed as $2,599.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
