Sony is gearing up to launch a groundbreaking “super standard” zoom lens, the FE 24-70mm F2 GM, according to the latest rumors. This lens boasts an unprecedented combination of features, marking a first in the history of photography. Foreign media sources predict a release within the next few months, with a price tag exceeding $3,000 USD – putting it up there with the rest of the expensive photography equipment. Let’s dive into some surface details of this alleged zoom lens.

This lens will offer first-in-class features, offering more focal length than Canon’s lens

The Sony FE 24-70mm F2 GM is rumored to be similar in size to the Canon RF 28-70mm F2 lens. However, it surpasses the Canon offering by boasting a wider focal length, starting at 24mm instead of 28mm. This wider range is particularly noteworthy. Furthermore, impressive image quality is promised even at the widest aperture of F2. This suggests exceptional low-light performance and the ability to achieve beautiful background blur (bokeh) effects.
