Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G lens

The Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G Lens is a remarkably compact and lightweight standard zoom lens for Sony α series cameras, covering an impressive ultra-wide 20mm to 70mm telephoto with a constant aperture of F4. Sony's latest lens design technology makes imitable G Lens image quality available. With two AA (advanced aspherical) elements, one aspherical element, three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, and one ED aspherical element, this lens' state-of-the-art optical design corrects chromatic and spherical aberration for extremely high optical performance right out to the image edges. Optimized coatings add high flare and ghost resistance to this superior optical design, for extraordinary contrast and clarity. Advanced technology reduces focus breathing as well as focus and axial shift when zooming so that distracting image shifts are minimized. The Sony FE 20-70mm f4 G lens has also been carefully designed for quiet operation when shooting movies, with the advanced XD linear motors and a newly developed aperture unit dramatically reducing noise and vibration. Other features of the Sony FE 20-70mm f4 G lens that makes your content creation easier include: a 9-blade circular aperture for soft bokeh, a short minimum focus distance of 0.3m at the wide end, Active Mode image stabilization support, Linear Responsive MF, Aperture ring with click ON/OFF switch, two customizable focus hold buttons, and a new Iris Lock Switch plus dust and moisture resistant design with a fluorine-coated front element that is easy to keep clean.

F4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range A constant F4 maximum aperture provides extra versatility for choosing an aperture that best suits your intent at any focal length from 20mm to 70mm. The selected aperture remains constant throughout the whole zoom range. There is no need to use extreme ISO settings at the telephoto end of the range, and high shutter speeds can be used as needed to achieve the desired effect.
