How to Use the Sony 28-70mm f2 G Master Lens
Achieve Stunning Resolution with Optical Precision
The Sony 28-70mm f2 G Master Lens provides exceptional image quality across the frame. The lens features 20 elements in 14 groups, including three XA elements and one ED element, which work together to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion. This construction ensures high-resolution images with vibrant colours, even at wide apertures like f2 across the focal range.
The Nano AR Coating II minimises ghosting and flare, optimising clarity in challenging lighting and maintaining consistent image quality across the 75°-34° angle of view (full frame) / 54°-23° angle of view (APS-C). The G Master Lens also offers a close focusing distance of 0.38m and a maximum magnification of 0.23x, enabling crisp, detailed close-ups that precisely capture fine textures and intricate elements.
Experience Fast, Silent Autofocus and Reliable Tracking
Powered by four XD Linear Motors, the 28-70mm f2 G Master Lens provides fast, accurate, and nearly silent autofocus, making it well-suited for various environments. The XD motors smoothly drive the elements, ensuring quick, stable focus even during continuous shooting at high frame rates. The lens tracks subjects with precision up to 120fps (when paired with Sony Alpha cameras), perfect for action photography and videography. This performance aligns the lens with Sony’s advanced camera bodies, providing a dependable option for fast-paced scenarios where accuracy is essential.
Record Smooth, Consistent Video
Designed to minimise focus breathing, the G Master lens features optical suppression and is ideal for filmmakers, providing framing consistency during focus shifts. The lens supports Sony's breathing compensation technology with a customisable zoom rotation speed and declicked aperture controls to create seamless, cinematic focus transitions when paired with Sony cameras.
Capture Beautiful Bokeh
The Sony 28-70mm f2 G Master Lens’s 11-blade circular aperture creates smooth, rounded bokeh, adding depth to portrait photography and close-up shots by separating the subject from the background. The lens maintains a constant f2 aperture throughout the zoom range, enhancing its low-light capabilities and allowing for shallow depth-of-field effects.
Customise and Streamline Your Shoot
The Sony 28-70mm f2 G Master Lens houses adaptable hardware features, including a precise aperture ring with F-stop engravings and an IRIS Lock switch to prevent accidental adjustments. The aperture click switch allows seamless or stepped control for greater versatility, whilst the zoom ring includes a smoothness switch, preventing unintentional zooming during transportation. Dual customisable focus hold buttons enhance usability, while the Linear Response MF focus ring ensures precise, responsive manual focus control.
Shoot with Confidence in Any Environment
Built for frequent, everyday use, the 28-70mm f2 G Master Lens offers reliability, even in demanding environments. This equipment is surprisingly compact and portable for a lens with this focal range, measuring 92.9 x 139.8 mm and weighing just 918g. Its dust and moisture-resistant construction protects internal components in challenging environments, while the fluorine-coated front element repels water, dust, and oil.
