The Sony FE 28-70mm F2 GM lens offers a constant F2 aperture for prime-like sharpness, smooth bokeh, and advanced autofocus with four XD motors. Ideal for photos and video, it minimizes focus breathing, supports high-frame-rate recording, and includes pro controls like adjustable zoom torque and a customisable aperture ring. Perfect for dynamic and cinematic applications.

Sharpness that maximises body potential

Advanced design and optical simulation result in zoom quality that rivals prime lenses. Large elements including three XA (extreme aspherical) elements manufactured using original techniques ensure high corner-to-corner resolution at F2 throughout the zoom range

F2 G Master design for extraordinary depth

An F2 max. aperture and G Master optics deliver exquisite, soft bokeh for deep, dimensional images. Spherical aberration is carefully controlled for ideal resolution/bokeh balance, and a new 11-blade circular aperture unit helps to deliver gorgeous ball bokeh.

Precise, reliable, responsive AF tracking

Four XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and the latest algorithm precisely control the large F2 focus group. Reliable focus tracking and instant response are essential at weddings or sports events where every frame counts. This lens is fully compatible with the 120 fps burst capability of the α9 III, and tracking continues even while zooming.

Refined, expressive movie production

Focus breathing is subdued for refined movie imagery. Rack focus and zoom effects can be used with F2 depth of field to create smooth, natural transitions. Critical focus for high frame rate 4K 120p/FHD 240p recording is easy. The XD linear motors and a new aperture unit operate quietly, and α body breathing compensation is supported.

Professional control and feel

Important control functions include Linear Response MF for intuitive manual focus, adjustable zoom ring torque, and an aperture ring with a click ON/OFF switch. There are also two customisable focus hold buttons, an iris lock switch, and an AF/MF switch. Filter diameter is 86 mm, and the lens hood has a window for easy variable filter operation.
