It is an announcement that should delight many photography enthusiasts. A wide aperture ultra-wide angle photo zoom completes the Sony catalog. We give you the details of this camera lens.
Fans of Sony brand equipment are rather looking forward to the next Sony Alpha box in the A7S range. However, in the meantime, they will be able to get their hands on a pretty toy that is simply placed on a new market, an ultra-wide angle photo zoom.
Sony presents the widest photo zoom in this register
What is it exactly here? Sony has just unveiled the FE 12-24mm f / 2.8 GM (SEL1224GM). This photo zoom is part of the G Master collection, which was previously limited to 16 to 200 mm. You will understand, so it is a weight reinforcement. Even better, Sony really innovates with this material since this zoom is simply the widest with constant aperture f / 2.8 for a full-format hybrid. A perspective that will delight many photography enthusiasts. The range of photo zooms from Sony now ranges from 12 to 200mm. The short focal length will amplify the distances in the image and produce incredible dynamic perspectives.
An expanding range
As a reminder, until then, in the G Master zoom range, in addition to the fixed focal lengths, we found the following models:
- FE 16-35 mm f/2,8 GM
- FE 24-70 mm f/2,8 GM
- FE 70-200 mm f/2,8 GM
However, this is the ultimate in what Sony offers from a resolution and bokeh point of view., and even the brand in general. A clear sign, they are entirely designed and produced directly by Sony.
A photo zoom for whom?
Who is this new Sony zoom for? Given its characteristics, we would especially tend to say that it corresponds to specialized photographers : architecture, sport or even astrophotography. Both compact and light, it has rather all-round dimensions: 137 mm long, 97.6 mm in diameter and only 847 grams. A real featherweight compared to many of its competitors.
What a price for the new Sony zoom
Note that the photo lens is also resistant to dust and humidity and that it also benefits from a fluorine treatment which should considerably simplify cleaning. Its “black point” is of course the price, but it makes sense given its characteristics. It will indeed take 3.300 euros to buy it from next August.
