This compact full-frame f/2.8 standard zoom lens is an excellent match for α-series bodies, with advanced lens technology ensuring that body performance is fully realized. 24–50mm is an ideal range for everyday use. Outstanding G Lens resolution and bokeh are available at all focal lengths, and precision AF means fast, sharp focus. Great for shooting stills and movies anywhere.

Sharp and detailed at all focal lengths

Four aspherical elements and two ED (Extra low Dispersion) elements deliver high resolution throughout the 24–50mm zoom range. Flare, ghosting, and colour bleeding are subdued for clear rendering, while f/2.8 and an 11-blade circular aperture unit can create stunning G Lens bokeh. Maximum magnification is 0.3x (AF)/0.33x (MF) with a minimum focus distance of 0.19m (0.63 ft) (AF)/0.18m (0.59 ft) (MF) at the wide end for stunning close-ups.

A compact f/2.8 zoom that is ready to go anywhere

With four aspherical elements and a large f/2.8 maximum aperture in an optical design that delivers outstanding imaging performance, this innovative lens is no more than 3 in in diameter by 3-3/4 in in length (74.8mm x 92.3mm). The use of engineering plastics for some components enhances durability while reducing weight to just 15.6 oz (440 grams) for agile mobility and minimum stress during long shooting sessions.
