Wide-angle zoom for full-frame shooters

The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II is a constant-aperture wide-angle zoom built for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras. It covers a 16-35mm focal range with a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout. The lens is designed for photographers and videographers who need high resolution, fast autofocus and a compact form factor.

Suited to hybrid creators needing speed

This lens suits professionals and advanced enthusiasts shooting landscapes, architecture, events or run-and-gun video who value the f/2.8 constant aperture and the 20% lighter, 10% smaller design. Buyers who need a longer telephoto reach, a wider maximum aperture than f/2.8 or a significantly lower-cost option should look at other lenses.

Constant f/2.8 aperture across the 16-35mm range

The defining specification is the bright f/2.8 maximum aperture that remains constant from 16mm to 35mm, enabling consistent exposure and shallow depth of field throughout the zoom range. Combined with four XD linear motors and a floating focus mechanism, it delivers fast, quiet AF performance for both stills and video work.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the SEL1635GM2 and what must be purchased separately?

The lens ships with front and rear caps, a petal-shaped hood and a soft case; filters, a tripod collar and any camera body are sold separately.

Which focal-length version should I choose between the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II and other Sony zooms?

Choose this 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II when you need a constant f/2.8 wide-angle zoom for full-frame E-mount; longer or variable-aperture zooms serve different framing needs.

How does the constant f/2.8 aperture perform in a real shooting situation?

The fixed f/2.8 lets you hold the same exposure and depth of field from 16 mm to 35 mm, so indoor or dusk scenes stay bright without raising ISO when you zoom.
