Product details

Constant F2.8 24 - 70 mm zoom lens with an unprecedented combination of high resolution and smooth bokeh. Equipped with the lens technologies available today, the 24-70 full-frame zoom lens from Sony is the first choice for anyone looking for the highest possible quality and flexibility for all areas of photography.

The lens consists of three aspherical elements. These include a developed extremely precise XA (extreme aspherical) element, which minimises aberration and provides resolution across the entire zoom and aperture range. In addition, an ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element and a Super ED glass element minimise chromatic aberration. At the same time, the resolution remains at the highest level with natural bokeh. The circular aperture of the lens consists of blades. To prevent reflections and maintain contrast and clarity, it is coated with Nano AR (Anti Reflection).

The FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM has a "Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonic Wave Motor)", which quickly and efficiently controls the optimum focal point. Algorithms control the lens elements quickly and precisely. The motor works quietly - and is therefore also ideal for videos. The lens is dust and moisture resistant and has a design that includes an AF/MF switch, focus lock and buttons to release the lens hood. There are also two matching filters for the lens: the VF-82MP to protect the front lens and the VF-82COAM circular polarising filter.

Mit rund 900 Gramm ist das Sony FE 24-70mm F2,8 GM kein Leichtgewicht unter den Standardzoomobjektiven. Für den hohen Handelspreis von über 2.000 Euro hätten wir uns allerdings eine bessere Haptik gewünscht. Das hohe Gewicht der Glaselemente fordert seinen Tribut beim Zoomen: Während sich der Fokusring leichtgängig einstellen lässt, fällt der griffige Zoomring beim Verstellen weniger positiv auf...

Mit dem Sony FE 24-70 mm F2.8 GM (SEL2470GM) behauptet sich im Test das beste Zoom-Objektiv für Sony DSLM mit Vollformat-Sensor. Dabei mangelt es dem Standard-Zoom vor allem an einem: Schwächen. Auflösung, Ausstattung und Autofokus liefern erstklassige Ergebnisse. Lediglich das hohe Gewicht fügt sich nicht so richtig ins kompakte Alpha-7-System.
