Sony's compact constant f/2.8 zoom — 24-50mm range in just 299g with weather sealing and XD linear motors.
The Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G (2024) is a remarkably compact constant f/2.8 zoom weighing just 299g. It pairs perfectly with the A7C II as a compact professional kit, offering f/2.8 speed in a package barely larger than a kit zoom.
Outstanding sharpness throughout. Dual XD linear motor AF — very fast. Weather sealed. 30cm close focus. G-lens designation indicates high optical standard. 67mm filter thread. Internal zoom.
Sony FE mount, 67mm filter thread. Weather sealed. 299g. 30cm minimum focus distance. Internal zoom — barrel does not extend. No OSS — relies on IBIS.
Limited used supply as very recent lens. The narrow 24-50mm range is the main compromise — many shooters will need a second lens. The 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II is more versatile but weighs 695g.
