The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II is a groundbreaking ultra-wide-angle zoom lens engineered for professional photographers and filmmakers who demand uncompromising image quality in a compact, lightweight design. As the successor to the acclaimed original G Master model, this second-generation lens delivers exceptional corner-to-corner sharpness, smooth bokeh, and fast, precise autofocus—thanks to Sony’s latest optical innovations and dual XD Linear Motors. Weighing just 547g (less than half the weight of its predecessor), it’s the lightest f/2.8 ultra-wide zoom in its class, making it ideal for landscape, architecture, astrophotography, and gimbal-based video work. Built with enhanced dust and moisture resistance, customizable focus hold buttons, and seamless compatibility with Sony’s full-frame E-mount cameras, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II redefines what’s possible in ultra-wide professional optics.
