Coming to you from Stefan Malloch, this great video review takes a look at the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II lens. As one of the anchor lenses of the company's lineup, the 24-70mm f/2.8 comes with a variety of features, including:
- Reduced size and weight from the first version
- Two ED (extra-low dispersion) and two Super ED elements for reduced chromatic aberrations
- Five aspherical elements, including two extreme aspherical elements (XA) for less distortion and improved sharpness
- Nano AR Coating II for fewer flares and ghosting and deeper contrast
- Minimized focus breathing and de-clickable aperture for video work
- Four XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors for fast and quiet autofocus suitable for both photo and video work
- 11-blade diaphragm for especially smooth bokeh
- Two customizable focus hold buttons
- Adjustable zoom ring torque
- Dust- and moisture-resistant construction
