The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II delivers dynamic wide-angle perspectives with amazing resolution and bokeh while maximizing the speed and performance of advanced camera bodies. Unequalled AF performance provides significant advantages for stills and movies in a versatile lens that is also the smallest and lightest of its kind.
The world’s smallest, lightest1 F2.8 wide-angle zoom
The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II delivers dynamic wide-angle perspectives with amazing resolution and bokeh while maximizing the speed and performance of advanced camera bodies. Unequalled AF performance provides significant advantages for stills and movies in a versatile lens that is also the smallest and lightest1 of its kind.
Extraordinary resolution and bokeh
Smooth, beautiful bokeh is made possible by a large F2.8 max aperture, innovative optical design, and an advanced 11-blade aperture unit. The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II also offers superb close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.73 ft (0.22 m)) throughout the zoom range and maximum magnification of 0.32x. Get close for dynamic perspectives while deep bokeh adds extra expressive capability.
Refined for outstanding movie imagery
Reduced focus breathing, focus shift, and axis shift when zooming contribute to smooth movie imagery, while XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and an advanced aperture unit cut noise and vibration. A centre of gravity that changes very little contributes to agile, stable manoeuvrability when shooting hand-held, and cuts out the need for readjustment after changing the zoom setting when using a gimbal.
AF that is smooth, precise, quiet, and lightning fast
The FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II uses a floating focus mechanism that includes four original XD Linear Motors and precise lens control for up to approx. 2x higher AF speed. Continuous shooting at up to 30fps is possible with Sony’s α1 body. It reliably acquires focus and smoothly tracks subjects, easily achieving the critical focus required for slow motion and 4K/8K movies.
The world’s smallest and lightest in its class
Even though it is the smallest and lightest F2.8 16–35 mm zoom in the world, the FE 16–35 mm F2.8 GM II delivers extraordinary imaging quality thanks to XA elements and Super ED glass (extra-low dispersion) in an advanced optical design. Lightweight high-thrust XD Linear Motors further contribute to a low overall weight of just 19.3 oz. (547 grams). That’s about 20% lighter than the E 16–35 mm F2.8 GM. Overall length is a compact 4.5 in (111.5 mm).
Professional control and reliability
A click ON/OFF switch and lock switch offer flexible aperture control, while two focus hold buttons provide convenient access for horizontal or vertical shooting. One function can be assigned to the focus hold buttons from the body menus. All seams feature structural sealing, buttons and switches are fitted with silicone rubber gaskets, and a rubber ring seals the lens mount for protection against dust and moisture.
Lens Configuration
G Master series lenses take imaging and expression to previously unattainable levels with a stunning blend of extremely high resolution and softly dissolving background bokeh
MTF Chart
MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) describes how well a lens can reproduce fine details, measured as the degree of contrast achieved between finely spaced lines.
