Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II — full-frame E-mount wide-angle zoom with 4 XD Linear motors, 0.32x magnification, and dust/moisture-resistant build.

The **Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II** is Sony’s latest G Master wide-angle zoom lens for the Sony E mount, engineered for full-frame mirrorless shooters who demand uncompromising sharpness, blazing-fast autofocus, and a professional-grade f/2.8 constant aperture in the lightest, most compact body in its class — approximately 20% lighter and 10% smaller than its predecessor.

Redesigned from the ground up with four XD Linear AF motors, a floating focus mechanism, Super ED and XA aspherical elements, and a minimum focus distance of just 8.6″, the GM II delivers exceptional bokeh quality, suppressed aberrations, and near-zero focus breathing — making it equally at home shooting dramatic landscapes, architecture, and fast-paced video productions.

### Key features

- **Constant f/2.8 Aperture:** Shoot in low light and achieve beautiful background separation across the entire 16-35mm zoom range without exposure shifts.

- **Four XD Linear AF Motors:** Ultra-fast, near-silent autofocus with full AF tracking even when stopped down or changing zoom position — ideal for stills at up to 30 fps and smooth video.

- **Superior Optical Design:** One Super ED, two ED elements, and three extreme aspherical (XA) elements work together to eliminate chromatic aberration, distortion, and ‘onion ring’ bokeh for G Master-level image quality.

- **Impressive Close-Up Performance:** Floating focus mechanism delivers a 0.32x maximum magnification and 8.6″ minimum focus distance across the full zoom range — exceptional for a wide-angle zoom.

- **Video-Optimised Handling:** De-clickable manual aperture ring, zoom smoothness switch, minimised focus breathing, and Breathing Compensation support make this lens a true cine-capable tool.

- **Compact, Durable, Weather-Sealed Build:** Dust- and moisture-resistant construction with fluorine coating and a hybrid metal/plastic body ensures reliable professional use in challenging conditions.
