Innovative optics featuring the largest XA element in the α series

Three XA elements, including the largest one, work in tandem with one aspherical element in an innovative optical design to deliver the stunning resolution of the G Master series. Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements suppress chromatic aberration. The new Nano AR II coating minimizes unwanted flare or ghosting and delivers a sharp image.

Constant F2.8 Aperture

The 12–24 mm zoom lens with a constant maximum aperture of F2.8 is ideal for capturing night scenes, starry skies, and other low-light subjects at low ISO settings without being limited by excessively slow shutter speeds.

Ultra-wide-angle compact zoom lens with a wide aperture

The optical design, featuring 4 aspherical elements—including 3 XA-type elements—and the mechanical design with Sony’s XD linear motors in this compact zoom lens with a constant F2.8 aperture and a 12–24 mm focal length deliver superb image quality. This lens is not only ideal for capturing landscapes, night scenes, and architecture, but also offers mobility to active sports photographers shooting ultra-wide-angle shots.

XD Linear Motors for Fast and Precise Autofocus and Tracking

Four XD linear motors—two for each focus group—contribute to fast and precise autofocus and tracking, fully leveraging the potential of the high-performance α-series camera bodies. New control algorithms maximize the responsiveness of the XD linear motors while ensuring flawless synchronization between the focus groups. Operation is also extremely quiet with minimal vibration.

Controls and Reliability for Professional Use

The focus hold button, focus mode switch, zoom ring, focus ring, and other controls are designed and positioned to make operation as intuitive as possible. You can also assign additional functions to the focus hold button in the camera settings. Thanks to the fluorine coating on the front element and its dust- and moisture-resistant design, this lens will perform reliably in any environment.
