Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM

Ultra-wide full-frame zoom with constant f/2.8 aperture

Introduced in July 2020, the Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM is a premium G Master ultra-wide zoom for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Its 12–24 mm range delivers an exceptionally wide 122° to 84° angle of view, making it useful for architecture, interiors, landscapes, establishing shots, music videos and dynamic moving-camera work. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture remains available throughout the zoom range, helping in low light and providing more exposure control than slower ultra-wide zooms.

Four XD Linear Motors for fast, quiet autofocus

Autofocus is driven by four XD Linear Motors, with two motors assigned to each focus group. Sony designed the system for fast, precise tracking with low vibration and quiet operation, making the lens suitable for both photography and video. The lens does not include optical SteadyShot, so stabilization comes from the camera body or external support. On compatible Sony cameras with in-body stabilization, this still allows practical handheld shooting while keeping the lens focused on optical performance.

G Master optics from 12 mm to 24 mm

The optical design uses 17 elements in 14 groups, including three XA elements, one additional aspherical element, two Super ED elements and three ED elements. Sony’s Nano AR Coating II helps reduce flare and ghosting, while the advanced element layout controls distortion, chromatic aberration and loss of sharpness across the frame. The lens focuses down to 0.28 m throughout the zoom range and offers 0.14x maximum magnification. A nine-blade circular diaphragm supports smooth background rendering.

Rear gel filters and built-in lens hood

Because of the strongly curved front element, the lens does not accept conventional screw-in filters. Instead, Sony provides a rear holder for cut sheet-type gel filters such as ND or colour-correction material, with a filter template available for preparing inserts. The petal-style hood is fixed and built into the barrel to protect the front element. At approximately 847 g, the lens remains relatively compact for a full-frame 12–24 mm f/2.8 zoom.
