Introducing the Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G

The Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with a constant F4 aperture, ideal for wide-angle shooting - ideal for architecture, landscape, astro, interiors, reportage, etc.

Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G highlights

• Extra-wide amplitude, ideal for landscape and architectural photos
• 7-slat circular aperture
• Compact and lightweight (565g)
• Fast, precise and silent auto focus thanks to Direct Drive SSM system
• Moisture- and dust-resistant

Ultra-wide for Dynamic Spatial Expression

This 12 - 24 mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens offers the shortest focal lengths for a full-frame E-type. Its uniform G Lens resolution is exceptional, whatever the aperture. It's perfect for dynamic landscape and architectural photography. Its outstanding mobility and silent, fast, precise AF make it the ideal lens for both film and still photography.

Fingertip control, high reliability

The customizable focus-lock knob offers greater control and versatility, and the dust- and moisture-resistant design1 ensures reliability, even in harsh conditions.

High resolution at very wide angles

Compatible with the widest range available in a full-frame E-type lens, the FE 12-24mm F4 G zoom offers unprecedented expressive potential for landscapes, cityscapes, architecture and other large-scale subjects. High-quality ultra-wide-angle optical elements capture vast landscapes with dynamic perspectives, and exceptional resolution and clarity.

    

Excellent, uniform resolution throughout the image

The four spherical elements of the innovative optical design effectively eliminate optical aberrations that can be problematic in wide-angle lenses. This remarkable lens achieves excellent resolution in perfect harmony with the G Lens design across its entire focal length range.

Super ED glass for enhanced contrast and resolution

A Super ED (very low dispersion) glass lens and three ED glass lenses are positioned to limit chromatic aberration. The effective reduction of chromatic aberration helps improve sharpness and clarity across the entire image area.

Clarity and contrast in all lighting conditions

Sony's original Nano anti-reflective coating eliminates unwanted glare and ghosting, especially in backlight conditions, to ensure maximum contrast and clarity in all circumstances. The elimination of reflections caused by incident light over a wide range of angles enables better framing and greater compositional flexibility. (1.

Compact, lightweight and mobile

High-quality optical design significantly reduces the overall length of the lens barrel, as well as the diameter of the front lens, while maintaining the best possible optical performance at all focal lengths and aperture settings. Its compact dimensions and low weight of 565 g (20 oz) make this lens the ideal instrument whenever portability and mobility are important criteria.

Quick, silent autofocus for photos and videos

Fast, accurate autofocusing is essential for fast capture and faithful subject tracking, but silent operation is also essential for video recording. This lens is equipped with an advanced internal focusing mechanism powered by Sony's Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) system, for fast, precise AF lock and smooth, silent operation.

Benefits for video recording

Thanks to a maximum aperture of F4 across the entire focal length range, this lens delivers consistent exposure. The advanced focusing system offers exceptional speed and precision, enabling ultra-fidelity tracking of subject movements at wide angles, for impressive video perspectives.

Smooth, versatile operation

The customizable focus lock button adds a new level of fingertip control. This button can be assigned to other functions. The AF/MF switch is used to set the lens operating mode to suit the situation. Manual focusing is fast and responsive, with almost imperceptible shift.

High reliability under the most extreme conditions

The overall design of this lens is dust- and moisture-resistant2 for extra protection and reliable operation in harsh environments. Rain or shine, shoot with confidence.

Integrated sunshade

An integrated lens hood effectively blocks incident light responsible for glare and ghosting to ensure optimum clarity and contrast, even at the lens' widest angles. The supplied lens cap slides easily over the integrated lens hood.
