Fast and precise autofocus for stills and video
Benefit from fast, accurate and quiet autofocus for both photography and filmmaking, ensured by two Linear Motors. The autofocus system is capable of keeping up with high frame rates such as 4K120p and 30fps continuous shooting. Typically featured in Sony's proficient G lenses, these offer higher thrust and silent focus capabilities, ensuring you never miss a moment, whether capturing stills or video.
Versatile close-up performance with high magnification
Following the trend in newer Sony lenses such as second generation FE 70-200mm F/4 G OSS II, the 24-50mm f/2.8 G offers a high 0.3x magnification with close 0.19m minimum focus distance. These characteristics enable creators to extend the versatility of the lens with large frame-filling subjects and dynamic close-up compositions, which is ideal for product or nature shots, with greater versatility for your everyday content.

Reliable and intuitive to use
The 24-50mm zoom lens is designed for durability and intuitive creative control thanks to the inclusion of focus, zoom, and aperture rings. Customisable buttons and Linear Response MF also ensure immediate, intuitive manual focus, while the dust and moisture-resistant design increase reliability, regardless of environmental conditions.
Additionally, a Fluorine coating is applied to the front element, which reduces dirt and smears, while making it easier to clean the front lens.
