Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G Zoom Lens

Ultra Wide for Dynamic Spatial Expression

Ultra wide and versatile, the Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G Lens is a flexible zoom lens for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, characterised by its constant f/4 maximum aperture. Benefitting the wide field of view is a sophisticated optical design that incorporates aspherical and low dispersion glass elements to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and clarity. A Nano AR Coating has also been applied to individual elements to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for greater contrast and colour fidelity when working in bright, backlit situations.

High resolution at ultra wide angles

Refined ultra wide-angle optics capture expansive scenes with outstanding resolution and clarity. Covering the widest range available in any full-frame E-mount lens, the Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G zoom lens offers an unprecedented expressive potential for landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, and other expansive subjects. Refined ultra wide-angle optics capture sweeping scenes with dynamic perspectives plus outstanding resolution and clarity.

Excellent corner-to-corner resolution

Four aspherical elements in an innovative optical design effectively suppress optical aberrations that can be problematic in wide-angle lenses. This remarkable lens achieves excellent resolution that is fully consistent with the G Lens concept throughout its zoom range.

Super ED glass improves resolution and contrast

One Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element and three ED glass elements are strategically deployed to minimise chromatic aberration. Effective reduction of chromatic aberration contributes to improved sharpness and clarity throughout the image area.

Compact, lightweight and mobile

A new design significantly reduces overall length and front element size while maintaining the highest possible optical performance. And it weighs a mere 565 g.

Clarity and contrast in any light

Sony’s original Nano AR Coating suppresses spurious reflections that can cause flare and ghosting in backlit and other challenging lighting situations, for consistently high contrast and clarity. Freedom from flare over a wide range of incident light angles provides greater framing and composing flexibility.

Fast, quiet AF for stills and movies

This lens features an advanced inner-focus mechanism driven by Sony’s Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) system for fast, accurate AF lock-on as well as smooth, quiet operation.

Fingertip control and high reliability

A customisable focus hold button that can be assigned other functions adds an extra margin fingertip control, and an AF/MF switch sets the lens’s operating mode to suit the situation. Manual mode focusing is fast and responsive with almost unnoticeable lag.

High reliability in harsh conditions

The overall design of this lens is dust and moisture resistant for extra protection and reliable operation in challenging environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions.

Advantages for movie recording

With a constant f/4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, this wide-angle camera lens for Sony makes it possible to achieve consistent exposure. Advanced AF with outstanding speed and precision contributes to reliable subject tracking at wide angles for impressive movie perspectives.

Integrated lens hood

A built-in lens hood effectively blocks incident light that might cause flare and ghosting, maintaining optimum clarity and contrast even at the lens’s widest angles. The supplied lens cap slips right over the built-in hood.
