Overview

The Sony SEL2470GM FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM is the flagship standard zoom in Sony's G Master lens lineup, engineered to deliver the highest levels of resolution, contrast, and bokeh quality across the most commonly used focal range in photography. Its optical formula features an XA (extreme aspherical) element ground to a surface accuracy of 0.01 microns, which works alongside additional aspherical and ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and Super ED glass elements to virtually eliminate spherical and chromatic aberration. The result is exceptional sharpness from corner to corner at every focal length and aperture setting, while the nine-blade circular aperture produces smooth, creamy out-of-focus rendering that is a hallmark of the G Master series.

The lens focuses using a Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor (DDSSM), which provides fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus — an important advantage for hybrid shooters who move between stills and video. A dedicated focus hold button and an instant auto/manual focus selection switch give the photographer quick tactile control in the field. Nano AR coating across the optical surfaces minimizes flare and ghosting, maintaining contrast and color fidelity even when shooting into strong light sources. Built with dust and moisture resistance and weighing 3 pounds, the SEL2470GM is designed for professional use in demanding environments, from studio sessions to outdoor editorial and event work where reliability and optical performance cannot be compromised.
