Explore the world in wide-angle detail
G Master performance in a wide-angle F2.8 16–35 mm zoom offers a wealth of opportunity to capture subjects in creative new ways. No matter what zoom setting or focus distance you shoot at, this lens delivers consistently superb resolution from corner to corner, with stunning background bokeh when required. A compact, lightweight design makes it manageable for active shooting.
High corner-to-corner resolution

Gorgeous background bokeh
Shoot close at F2.8 to capture sharp subjects with dynamic, painterly backgrounds consisting of delightfully smooth bokeh.
A perfect balance of resolution and bokeh
An advanced optical design that includes two Sony XA (extreme aspherical) elements achieves outstanding resolution, low distortion and smooth, beautiful bokeh.
Light and compact for high mobility
Class-leading size and weight reductions make this 680-gram lens an ideal match for compact E-mount bodies, providing an eminently portable, easily manageable system.
The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM is a premium constant maximum aperture wide-angle full-frame (FE) zoom lens for the Sony E-mount, announced by Sony on May 17, 2017. The lens is scheduled for release on August 31, 2017.
