1. Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM
Constant F2.8 24 - 70 mm zoom lens with an unprecedented combination of high resolution and smooth bokeh. Equipped with the lens technologies available today, the 24-70 full-frame zoom lens from Sony is the first choice for anyone looking for the highest possible quality and flexibility for all areas of photography.
The lens consists of three aspherical elements. These include a developed extremely precise XA (extreme aspherical) element, which minimises aberration and provides resolution across the entire zoom and aperture range. In addition, an ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element and a Super ED glass element minimise chromatic aberration. At the same time, the resolution remains at the highest level with natural bokeh. The circular aperture of the lens consists of blades. To prevent reflections and maintain contrast and clarity, it is coated with Nano AR (Anti Reflection).
The FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM has a "Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonic Wave Motor)", which quickly and efficiently controls the optimum focal point. Algorithms control the lens elements quickly and precisely. The motor works quietly - and is therefore also ideal for videos. The lens is dust and moisture resistant and has a design that includes an AF/MF switch, focus lock and buttons to release the lens hood. There are also two matching filters for the lens: the VF-82MP to protect the front lens and the VF-82COAM circular polarising filter.
2. Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS
The lens from Sony has a focal length of 70 to 200 millimetres and an aperture of f/2.8. It has an E-mount and can be used with E-mount full-frame cameras and APS-C cameras. The telephoto focal length makes the lens ideal for long-distance shots in nature or for sports photography. The ultrasonic motor offers you quiet, powerful autofocus, which optimises the focusing speed in the telephoto range. And the optical SteadyShot image stabilisation reduces camera shake in hand-held shots for improved results when zooming in or out. The optical construction of the lens consists of 19 lenses in 16 groups and therefore provides you with outstanding image quality. In addition, the circular aperture with nine aperture blades ensures beautiful blurring in the area of the unfocussed image elements (bokeh). This progression of the background and foreground creates a targeted focus on the main subject and leads to exciting image compositions.
