Product details

The SEL2470GM2 full-frame lens: A G Master standard zoom lens with constant F2.8 aperture offers optimised image quality and excellent operability especially for full-frame photos and videos. The advanced optical design incorporates two ED (Extra Low Dispersion), two Super ED, two XA (Extreme Aspherical) and three aspherical elements to ensure outstanding resolution in this Sony camera lens.

A beautiful effect with background blur (bokeh) is achieved thanks to a circular aperture with 11 blades. Four complex XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear motors enable faster and more accurate focussing when shooting videos and photos.

The SEL2470GM2, an incredible E-mount lens suitable for video, offers smooth, fast and continuous autofocus performance when shooting video and features minimised focus breathing as well as focus shift and axis shift when zooming for better image quality.

  • PositiveThe high-resolution and high-contrast photos of the lens convince professionals
  • PositiveIts fast autofocus recommends it equally for photos and videos

    At 1,699 euros, the new Sony lens is not entirely cheap. In terms of image quality, it almost competes with the top systems of the G-Master series and is pleasingly light and compact. The somewhat unusual focal length range proves to be extremely practical.

    With the FE 2.8/24-70 mm GM II, Sony has succeeded in creating a top lens that already achieves almost its full performance at open aperture. At the shorter focal lengths, aperture 5.6 brings a plus at the edges, and at 70 mm, stopped down, the resolution in the centre of the image increases slightly...

    • PositiveThe convincing overall package of size, low weight and high image quality is the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II's biggest plus point.
    • NegativeThe Sony lens also owes its lightness to the lack of an image stabiliser. It remains dependent on the sensor stabilisation of the Alpha cameras.

    When a manufacturer decides to redesign an existing lens, this successor should offer noticeable advantages. Sony succeeds impressively with the FE 24 70mm F2.8 GM II. It delivers real top shots in both photos and videos.
