FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM Full Frame Ultra Wide Zoom G Master Lens

Feature Description

Exceptional Ultra-Wide Capability:

The 12–24mm constant F2.8 zoom lens offers an incredible ultra-wide-angle experience, capturing expansive scenes and dynamic perspectives that extend beyond human vision. Its constant F2.8 maximum aperture allows for versatile shooting, including nightscapes and low-light subjects, without compromising shutter speed.

Groundbreaking Optical Design:

This lens features three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, including the largest ever created for an α lens, along with one aspherical element. This innovative design delivers remarkable G Master resolution across the entire image area, ensuring exceptional image quality.

Chromatic Aberration Suppression:

To maintain maximum sharpness, two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass elements work together to eliminate chromatic aberration, preventing color smearing across the image area.

Advanced Nano AR Coating II:

The lens incorporates Nano AR Coating II, evenly applied to large lens elements and highly curved surfaces to reduce internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, ensuring clear and crisp imagery in challenging lighting conditions.

Compact and Lightweight Design:

Despite its impressive optical capabilities, this lens remains surprisingly compact and lightweight at 29.88 ounces. Ideal for landscapes, architecture, and sports photography, it offers both mobility and image quality.

Gorgeous G Master Bokeh:

High surface precision XA elements reduce onion-ring bokeh, while spherical aberration adjustments during design and manufacturing, along with a nine-blade circular aperture, create smooth and creamy G Master bokeh.

Excellent Resolution from Infinity to Close Focus:

The floating focus mechanism divides the focus group into two independently controllable groups, minimizing aberrations at all distances. Whether shooting close-ups or distant subjects, this lens maintains outstanding sharpness.

Constant F2.8 Aperture for Cinematic Freedom:

With a constant F2.8 maximum aperture at all focal lengths, this lens ensures consistent exposure, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity while zooming, making it ideal for filmmakers.

Dust and Moisture-Resistant Design:

Built to withstand challenging conditions, this lens features a dust- and moisture-resistant design, providing reliability for outdoor photography.

Fluorine Front-Element Coating:

The front lens element boasts a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and contaminants, making it easy to clean and maintain.

Linear Manual Focus and Precise Autofocus:

Four XD Linear Motors ensure fast, precise autofocus and tracking, particularly beneficial for capturing dynamic action. Linear Response MF offers immediate and precise manual focus control.

Rear Filter Holder:

The lens includes a rear filter holder for standard sheet-type ND, color correction, and other filters, expanding creative possibilities.

Effortless Focus Switching and Customization:

The lens features a focus mode switch for instant switching between auto and manual focus. A focus hold button can also be customized for various functions, enhancing shooting convenience.

Integrated Lens Hood and Cap:

The integral lens hood effectively blocks off-axis light, and the supplied lens cap attaches securely, ensuring clear and flare-free shots.
