The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II (Model: SEL1635GM2) is a premium, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. As part of Sony's flagship G Master (GM) series, it offers exceptional corner-to-corner sharpness, advanced video-centric design controls, and a significantly smaller, lighter form factor compared to its predecessor.
Key Specifications & Optical Design
Physical Profile: Weighs just 547 g (1.2 lbs) and measures 3.5 x 4.4 inches (87.8 x 111.5 mm). It is roughly 20% lighter and 10% smaller than the original Mark I version, making it highly portable and excellent for gimbal stability.
Aperture System: Features a bright, constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 down to f/22. It utilizes an 11-bladed circular aperture to deliver smooth, natural bokeh.
Filter Thread: Employs a standard 82 mm front filter thread, allowing easy attachment of ND filters, circular polarizers, and other creative tools.
Macro Capability: Delivers strong close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.22 meters (0.73 feet) across the entire zoom range and a maximum magnification of 0.32x.
Optical Glass: Structured with 15 elements in 12 groups, including three XA (extreme aspherical) elements and Super ED glass to heavily suppress chromatic aberrations and distortions. It features Nano AR Coating II to minimize ghosting and flare.
Performance & Video Featues
Autofocus Speed: Equipped with four high-thrust XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors operating a floating focus mechanism. Autofocusing is roughly twice as fast as the original version, supporting high-speed bursts up to 30 fps on the Sony α1.
Video Optimization: Focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift during zooming are minimized. The lens fully supports the internal Breathing Compensation feature found in modern Sony alpha camera bodies.
Tactile Controls: Includes a physical aperture ring with a click ON/OFF switch (for silent video iris pulling), an iris lock switch, a focus mode switch (AF/MF), and two customizable focus hold buttons.
