With an unprecedented ultra-wide 20 mm to short-telephoto 70 mm zoom range, this versatile lens is an excellent choice for a wide range of movie and still subjects. The ultra-wide 20 mm end of the zoom range maintains a wide angle of view when shooting movies with a 16:9 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio that reduces field of view.
Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors achieve fast, quiet, smooth focus drive with up to 60% higher AF speed and up to two times better performance while tracking for reliable, precise tracking. Moving subjects are reliably tracked when shooting continuous stills at up to 30 fps, or up to 4K 120p with alpha compatible cameras.
Advanced technology reduces focus breathing as well as focus and axial shift when zooming so that distracting image shifts are minimized. XD Linear Motors and a newly developed aperture unit dramatically reduce noise and vibration when shooting movies. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α series cameras is also supported.
This compact, lightweight lens combines state-of-the-art optical design with Sony’s high-thrust XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motor technology. The deep, soft bokeh available with full-frame image sensors is further enhanced by a 9-blade circular aperture and optimally tuned spherical aberration. All of this supports the creation of impressive, memorable imagery.
AA (advanced aspherical) elements help to achieve a minimum focus distance of 11.8” (30 cm - wide) to 9.8” (25 cm - telephoto) when using AF, and 9.8” (25 cm) throughout the zoom range when focusing manually. Maximum magnification is 0.39x for detailed close-ups. Close focus makes it easy to maneuver around small subjects to find the ideal angle.

From the manufacturer
Standard zoom redefined: ultra-wide 20 mm to 70 mm
This versatile, high-performance E-mount lens offers a zoom range that extends from ultra-wide 20 mm to 70 mm in a compact, lightweight model that has been painstakingly designed with no compromises in image quality, AF performance, or movie operability.
Outstanding G Lens image quality
Two AA (advanced aspherical) elements and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements simultaneously correct chromatic and spherical aberration for extremely high optical performance right out to the image edges, from ultra-wide 20mm to 70mm. Soft bokeh is enhanced by a 9-blade circular aperture
Peak AF performance for stills and movies
Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors provide high thrust for fast, quiet, smooth focus drive. Improved thrust efficiency results in up to a 60% increase in AF speed, and tracking performance has been improved by as much as two times so tracking is reliable and precise.
Refined movie imagery
Advanced technology reduces focus breathing as well as focus and axial shift when zooming so that distracting image shifts are minimized. This lens has been designed for quiet operation when shooting movies, with XD Linear Motors and a newly developed aperture unit.
