The perfect standard zoom for everyday works of art

This sleek full-frame F2.8 standard zoom lens complements α-series bodies perfectly, harnessing advanced lens technology to maximize body performance. With a versatile 24-50mm range, it's ideal for everyday photography. Enjoy superb G LensTM resolution and beautiful bokeh across all focal lengths, coupled with precise AF for quick, sharp focusing. Whether capturing stills or videos, it's your go-to lens for any shooting scenario.

Sharp and detailed at all focal lengths

Four aspherical elements and two ED (Extra Low Dispersion) elements ensure exceptional resolution across the entire 24-50mm zoom range. This combination minimizes flare, ghosting, and color bleeding, resulting in clear, well-defined images. With a fast F2.8 aperture and an 11-blade circular aperture unit, you can achieve beautiful G Lens bokeh. Enjoy a maximum magnification of 0.3x (AF)/0.33x (MF) and a minimum focus distance of 0.19m (0.63 ft) (AF)/0.18m (0.59 ft) (MF) at the wide end, enabling stunning close-up shots.

AF that brings out the best in high-performance bodies

Two meticulously optimized linear motors, combined with a precision control system, swiftly and accurately focus on any subject. The tracking performance is exceptional, ensuring it can keep pace with even Sony's advanced α9 III camera at speeds of up to 120 fps. Whether capturing high-frame-rate 4K 120p or FHD 240p movies, the autofocus maintains precise and quiet operation, delivering smooth focus acquisition and retention.

A compact F2.8 zoom that is ready to go anywhere

Utilizing four aspherical elements and a spacious F2.8 maximum aperture within its optical configuration, this groundbreaking lens maintains exceptional imaging capabilities while maintaining a compact form factor, measuring just 74.8 mm in diameter and 92.3 mm in length (3 x 3-3/4 inches). The incorporation of engineering plastics in certain components not only enhances durability but also minimizes weight to a mere 440 grams (15.6 oz.), ensuring agile mobility and reducing fatigue during extended shooting periods.

Constant F2.8 in a mobile zoom is great for movies

The combination of precise and silent autofocus (AF) along with an F2.8 aperture in a compact and lightweight zoom lens presents distinct advantages for videography. Its minimal center of gravity shift makes it suitable for mounting on gimbals or drones. When paired with in-camera Active Mode stabilization, it ensures steady handheld footage even at wide angles, even during movement. Additionally, it supports in-camera breathing compensation and metadata recording, enhancing its versatility for video shooting.

Comprehensive control in a compact lens

Comprehensive control is at your fingertips with dedicated focus, zoom, and aperture rings. The aperture ring offers switchable click stops for added versatility. Additionally, there's a customizable focus hold button and an AF/MF switch for seamless transitions between autofocus and manual focus modes. Enjoy immediate and intuitive manual focus control with Linear Response MF. Built to withstand challenging outdoor conditions, this lens features a dust and moisture resistant design, with a fluorine coating on the front element for added protection. The filter diameter is 67 mm, ensuring compatibility with standard filters.

Lens Configuration

Impeccable Sony G Lens design emphasizes a graceful balance between high resolution and gorgeous background bokeh that can enhance the artist's vision.

Thomas T. ★★★★★

The F2.8 throughout the zoom range is a game-changer for low-light street photography, and it balances perfectly on my camera body. The autofocus is snappy and silent, making it ideal for capturing candid moments without drawing attention.

Adam ★★★★★

This lens is crazy sharp even wide open at f/2.8, and the autofocus is so fast and silent that I’m finally getting keeper shots of my kids indoors. The zoom ring is perfectly dampened—smooth but not loose—which makes it a joy to use for run-and-gun street photography.

Adam R. ★★★★☆

I’ve been using this as my everyday carry on the α-series body, and the F2.8 aperture at 24mm makes low-light shots so much easier than I expected. The zoom ring is smooth but has just enough resistance to feel deliberate, which I like for quick adjustments.
