The top performance of the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G lens creates the perfect conditions for creative, unique photographs. It does not matter how far out you are when focusing, or whether you are shooting at the widest focal point, or zooming. The lens always provides maximum quality throughout the entire scene. It takes full advantage of the high resolution that today's cameras can bring. Add to that the compact dimensions, low weight, dust and moisture resistance, and great mobility, and you've got a truly brilliant lens!
The Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G lens is equipped with a floating focus system with two separate groups of focal elements and a DDSSM motor that is silent even when shooting videos. With ED elements, the lens retains high image quality at all focusing distances and suppresses all types of aberration to a minimum. Sony's anti-glare nanoparticles suppress reflections when shooting in backlight or otherwise demanding lighting conditions. The result is a uniform, contrasting, and clear image.
The gorgeous bokeh effect with smooth transitions, where your subject truly stands out, is achieved in unfocused areas when shooting close ups with the f/2.8 aperture. The lens uses two special Sony XA (extremely aspherical) elements with a precision surface finish of 0.01 micron. This minimizes distortion, astigmatism and curvature.
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
