Compact full-frame wide-angle F2.8 zoom lens

This compact full-frame wide-angle F2.8 zoom lens matches the α series bodies, with advanced lens technology ensuring performance is fully utilized from an ultra-wide 16 mm to a wide focal length of 25 mm. GTM lens resolution and bokeh: available throughout the range, precision autofocus for fast, sharp focus.

A small wide F2.8 zoom lens ideal for natural scenes, urban landscapes, selfies, travel photos, and general-purpose photography. It offers impressive G lens performance and background defocus (bokeh) at all focal lengths with a compact, lightweight design. Enhanced wide-angle image rendering performance with a large aperture for both still images and movies.

Impressive clarity at any focal length.

Advanced optical design with three ED glass elements and four aspherical elements, one of which is an aspherical ED glass, offers high resolution throughout the 16-25 mm zoom range. Reflections, ghosting, and chromatic aberrations are effectively minimized for clear, detailed rendering.

Impressive close-up performance.

Maximum magnification of 0.2x (AF)/0.23x (MF) with a minimum focusing distance of 0.18 m (AF)/0.17 m (MF) at 16 mm and 0.24 m (AF)/0.22 m (MF) at 25 mm for stunning close-ups. The wide-angle coverage allows capturing both the subject and the environment simultaneously.

Deep background defocus (bokeh) makes the subject stand out.

The large F2.8 aperture and 11-blade diaphragm unit work together for smooth and deep background defocus (bokeh). ED glass elements reduce chromatic aberrations for exceptional contrast and clarity.
