Ultra-wide large-aperture G Master zoom
Bright F2.8 maximum aperture from 12mm to 24mm
The ultra-wide 12mm angle of view available with this versatile lens makes it possible to emphasise distance and create dynamic perspectives that are beyond the scope of the human eye. Expand your artistic palette with deep, engaging visual imagery.Innovative optics with the largest XA element in any α lens
Three XA (extreme aspherical) elements, including the largest ever made, combine with one aspherical element in an innovative optical design that achieves stunning G Master resolution throughout the image area. Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass elements suppress chromatic aberration, and a new Nano AR Coating II minimises flare and ghosting for clear, crisp imagery.
Constant F2.8 brightness
The 12-24mm zoom with a constant F2.8 maximum aperture is ideal for shooting night scenes, starry skies, and other low-light subjects at low sensitivities without having to use extremely slow shutter speeds.
Ultra-wide angles and large aperture in a small, lightweight zoom
An advanced optical design with four aspherical elements, including three XA types, plus a mechanical design that features Sony’s original XD linear motors, in a compact, lightweight 12-24mm constant F2.8 zoom that delivers stunning image quality. In addition to being ideal for landscapes, night scenes, and architecture, this lens provides extra mobility for active sports photographers who shoot wide angles.
XD Linear Motors for fast, accurate AF and reliable tracking
Four XD Linear Motors, two for each of the lens’s focus groups, contribute to fast, precise autofocus and tracking that make full use of the speed potential provided by high-performance α camera bodies. New control algorithms maximise the response of the XD Linear Motor system while achieving flawless synchronisation between the focus groups. Operation is also quiet with minimal vibration.
Control and reliability for professional applications
A focus hold button, focus mode switch, zoom ring, focus ring, and other controls are designed and positioned for easy operation and a smooth workflow. Alternative functions that support the user’s individual shooting needs can be assigned to the focus hold button via camera body menu settings. A fluorine front element coating plus a dust and moisture resistant design ensure high reliability in challenging environments.
Advantages of Sony’s lenses for video shooting
Learn the four unique advantages of using Sony's E-mount lens for video shooting. The combination of Sony's lenses and cameras will enhance your video creation experience. -
Features
Compact, superbly-built wide-angle prime lens
This wide-angle prime lens packs the high image quality and beautiful bokeh of the G Lens into a compact design with superb build quality and intuitive operability. Easily carried anywhere, it's ideal for wide-angle shots of views that catch the eye. The fast, precise and quiet AF is ideal for shooting both stills and movies, ensuring capture of those vital moments.
A matching set of portable primes
This is one of our G Lens primes (sold separately), offering different focal lengths but the same external look, 49mm filter diameter, compact design, and layout. They're compact enough to carry all three so you're ready for great shots across a range of scenes and subjects, and the similar weight even makes gimbal rebalancing easy.
Intuitive, metal design and clear optics
The metal (aluminium) finish of the lens body and hood, plus the engraved focal length and aperture markings emphasise a superb build quality that provides user satisfaction. The ultra-compact lightweight design, the high image quality of the G Lens, the aperture ring and Linear Response MF deliver intuitive operability that makes shooting a pleasure.
Light for constant carrying and shooting
The mechanical design takes maximum advantage of state-of-the-art optics with an effective layout of three aspherical lens elements, and the short flange back unique to mirrorless cameras, to realise stunning compactness and a weight of only 162 g (5.8 oz). The lens is ideal for shooting scenery or snaps, or movie shooting with a gimbal, or selfie shooting using the wide angle of view. Mobility is delivered by the compact design that matches both full-frame and APS-C bodies.
High image quality from the latest optics
High image quality is realised by state-of-the-art optics using three aspherical elements and one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element, delivering high resolution and suppressing colour fringing in all parts of the image. The aspherical elements compensate for various aberrations, delivering high resolution performance from corner to corner of the image, even from the widest aperture with shallow depth of field. The ED glass element suppresses chromatic aberration and effectively reduces colour fringing that is more likely to occur in the image periphery.
Beautiful natural bokeh
A 7-blade circular aperture is provided, with precise control of the spherical aberration that affects bokeh delivering the beautiful natural bokeh of the G Lens.
Double linear motors for fast, precise and quiet AF
Two linear motors deliver fast, precise AF with superb tracking performance that maximises camera body performance to capture decisive moments in street snaps and the like. The fast, precise and quiet AF with superb tracking performance is ideal for shooting movies as well as stills.
Excellent close-up performance
A minimum focus distance of 24 cm (0.79 ft) (AF) / 18 cm (0.59 ft) (MF) provides excellent close-up performance. Close-up shooting lets the subject stand out against a blurred background. With a wide 24mm angle of view, the lens is also ideal for selfie shooting with a gimbal or grip attached.
Metal finish and dust/moisture resistance
The metal (aluminium) exterior finish of the lens body and hood contributes to reliability through increased strength and durability. The design is also dust and moisture resistant, providing reliability in harsh outdoor shooting environments.
Customisable focus hold button
The focus hold button is customisable from the camera menu, and can be assigned a function that the user prefers. For example if the Eye AF function that automatically tracks human eyes is assigned, the fingers of the right hand that hold the camera can remain fixed while the left thumb operates Eye AF, for more stable holding.
Natural, linear manual focus response
Linear Response MF provides a direct response to subtle focus ring adjustments when focusing manually. Ring rotation translates linearly to a corresponding change in focus like a mechanical control, directly reflecting the intent of the photographer and allowing delicate focus adjustments.
Switchable aperture-ring click stops
The aperture ring provides the immediacy of operation that professionals seek for still and movie shooting. Click stops can be switched ON for tactile feedback when shooting stills, or OFF to suppress the clicks when shooting movies, for smooth and natural aperture adjustments in combination with the quiet linear motors. This is ideal for situations requiring silence like stage movie shooting.
Easy manual/auto focus switching
The "focus mode switch" supports comfortable shooting by enabling instant switching between AF and MF depending on shooting conditions.
Accepts a variety of filters
Despite its wide view angle, the lens accepts filters. Thanks to its internal focus, the front lens element does not rotate, allowing attachment of circular polarising filters for landscapes, ND filters for movies, etc., giving the user extra creative control.
36mm equivalent on APS-C bodies
This lens also balances well on APS-C bodies, providing a wide-angle focal length of 36mm (35mm full-frame format equivalent), useful for shooting a wide range of scenes including snapshots around town or mountain scenery. The lens is highly recommended for APS-C as well as full-frame users.
Internal focus for comfortable movie shooting
The internal focus design maintains the overall length of the lens constant when focusing, allowing easy movie shooting with a gimbal or grip attached.
