Sony 24-50mm f2.8 G Lens Overview

The Sony FE 24-50mm F2.8 G sets a new standard for versatility in a fast standard zoom lens. Weighing only 440g, this remarkably compact lens packs leading-edge optics and features a rugged dust and moisture-resistant design ideal for photographers and videographers on the move.

Covering wide-angle to standard perspectives, the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G captures expansive landscapes, tight interiors, portraits and more with superb sharpness from edge to edge. Four aspherical elements ensure high resolution throughout the zoom range while a constant F2.8 aperture produces the deep, creamy bokeh for beautiful subject isolation. Fast, nearly silent linear motors quickly achieve precise focus for stills and smooth AF transitions when shooting 4K video.

With comprehensive controls including customisable focus hold buttons and a de-clicked aperture, the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G empowers creators with the response and reliability needed for spontaneous shooting opportunities. A minimum focus distance of 0.19m provides a maximum magnification of 0.3x for intimate close-ups. As a lighter, more affordable alternative to larger 24-70mm F2.8 zooms, it’s easy to see why this lens belongs in every Sony shooter’s camera bag.

Sony 24-50mm f/2.8 G Lens Features In Detail

F2.8 Constant Aperture

The FE 24-50mm F2.8 G maintains a bright, fast F2.8 aperture at all focal lengths. This allows photographers to achieve shallow depth of field effects and work in low light conditions. The constant aperture also provides exposure consistency when zooming from wide 24mm perspectives to standard 50mm framing. Videographers will appreciate the ability to seamlessly adjust focal length without exposure shifts.

Versatile Standard Zoom Range

With a wide-angle to standard 24-50mm zoom range, this lens covers expansive landscapes and architecture at 24mm down to natural perspective portraiture at 50mm. The convenient walkaround range means fewer lens changes in fluid shooting scenarios. The minimum focus distance also drops from 0.30m at 50mm to just 0.19m at 24mm for unique wide-angle close-up opportunities.

Advanced Optical Design

Four aspherical elements and two ED (extra-low dispersion) elements ensure high resolution and minute detail is preserved across the zoom range. By minimising chromatic and spherical aberrations, images appear crisp from edge to edge even when shooting wide open at F2.8 with smooth out-of-focus bokeh.

Fast, Quiet Linear Autofocus

Dual linear motors drive the autofocus swiftly and silently, keeping pace with high-speed burst shooting cameras like the α9 series at up to 120 fps tracking rates. Smooth focus transitions when shooting 4K video at up to 120p make this a versatile production lens.

Manual Control Rings

In addition to autofocus capabilities, videographers and photographers have access to physical focus, zoom and aperture rings for precise creative control. The aperture ring also features customisable click stops to adjust exposure silently.

Close Focusing Capabilities

A minimum focus distance of 0.19m at 24mm allows for unique perspective experimentation and expansion into macro photography. Users can fill the frame with small subjects and achieve a maximum magnification of 0.3x for intimate detail examination.

Rugged Design

The lens features dust and moisture sealing for use in inclement weather and challenging environments. The front element also has a fluorine coating to repel oil and water. Weighing just 440g, the lens offers respectable heft to withstand daily use.

 

 

What Is The Sony 24-50mm f2.8 G Lens Best Used For?

  • Landscape Photography – The wide 24mm perspective captures expansive scenic vistas while the bright f/2.8 aperture enables shooting in low light during golden hour or blue hour for dramatic skies.
  • Street & Documentary Photography – A versatile standard zoom range lets you quickly frame candid moments without being intrusive, while fast precise focus tracks subjects on the move.
  • Portraiture – The shallow depth of field isolates subjects with creamy bokeh from 24-50mm, while the minimum focus distance gets intimate facial details from a 0.19m close focusing distance.
  • Events & Weddings – Low light performance keeps shots clean in dim reception halls, while de-clicked aperture and linear motors provide discreet shooting during ceremonies and speeches.
  • Food & Product Photography – Macro-style 0.3x magnification shows ingredients and details in mouth-watering clarity. The wide 24mm view captures entire dishes or products in context.
  • Vlogging & Video – A bright f/2.8 aperture maintains exposure in varied conditions, while twin linear motors quickly yet smoothly rack focus between subjects and backgrounds.
  • Travel Photography – A highly portable 440g lens with dust/moisture resistance captures diverse environments without weighing you down.

Pairing versatility with outstanding optics and precision in a rugged design, the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G tackles spontaneous shots or challenging lighting situations – making it the perfect travel companion lens for creators on the move.

 

 

What We Think? – Sony FE 24-50mm lens Review

When Sony announced the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G standard zoom lens, there was a lot of excitement around its compact size and bright aperture. After spending some time shooting with this versatile optic, it’s clear that it lives up to the hype. This may prove to be a sleeper hit in the Sony mirrorless lens lineup for enthusiasts and professionals.

In our Sony FE 24-50mm lens review, we found it to be remarkably lightweight at just 15.7 ounces. The handling is excellent thanks to its shorter length than traditional 24-70mm F2.8 lenses. The aperture ring, focus ring, and zoom ring all provide pleasing torque and response. The dust and moisture-resistant design gives confidence to carry this lens anywhere without worry.

Optically, the FE 24-50mm F2.8 impresses across its useful range. Images show excellent sharpness and colour rendition at all apertures, even when shooting wide open at F2.8. Bokeh’s background blur has a pleasing character that doesn’t call too much attention to itself. The minimum focus distance of just 0.19m allows for creative close-up perspectives not typically possible with lenses in this zoom range.

Autofocus performance is snappy and accurate thanks to Sony’s linear motors. Shooting at up to 10 frames per second on the A9 II, we saw a very high percentage of tack-sharp images. Video shooters will love the smooth fast focus for gimbal work or interviews. The aperture de-click switch also makes this a versatile cinema lens.

For the price, it’s difficult to find any notable faults with the Sony FE 24-50mm F2.8 G. It finds a nice balance of size, speed, optics and affordability. If you shoot events, portraits, landscapes or any variety of subjects, this standard zoom belongs on your camera. We can easily recommend it as an everyday workhorse lens for both photo and video needs.

Sony FE 24-50mm F2.8 G Lens FAQ

What type of lens is the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G?

It is a full-frame mirrorless standard zoom lens designed specifically for Sony E-mount cameras. It covers wide-angle to short-telephoto perspectives.

What is the benefit of a constant F2.8 aperture?

The constant F2.8 maximum aperture provides consistently fast performance at all focal lengths. This allows for shallow depth of field, bright viewing through the EVF/LCD, and high-quality imaging in low-light scenarios.

Does the lens have optical stabilisation?

No, it does not include optical stabilisation within the lens. When mounted to a Sony body with built-in image stabilisation like the A7R IV or A6700, you achieve smooth and steady shooting. But use with unstabilised cameras is not recommended for handheld shots.

How good is the autofocus performance?

Autofocus is extremely fast and quiet thanks to twin linear motors and sophisticated AF algorithms. It can easily track subjects when shooting continuously at up to 15fps on bodies like the A9 II.

How does the image quality compare to Sony’s G Master lenses?

Independent tests indicate the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G delivers excellent sharpness and resolution that rivals Sony’s premium G Master series in a more compact form factor for a lower cost.

What photographic subjects is this lens ideal for?

It’s extremely versatile for everything from landscapes to portraits and street photography. The close 0.19m minimum focus also provides unique perspectives for food photography. And the fast aperture produces beautiful background separation for fine art images.

Is the lens fully weather-sealed?

Yes, the lens features dust and moisture sealing so it can be used comfortably in light rain and other challenging shooting environments. The front element has a fluorine coating to repel water and fingerprints.
