Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens

Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Lens (SEL1635GM)
Flagship Full-Frame Ultra-Wide Zoom for Sony E-Mount – Fast Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture, G Master Optical Precision (2 XA & 2 ED Elements), Dual Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) Focus System, Nano AR & Fluorine Coatings, Circular 11-Blade Diaphragm, Dust- and Moisture-Resistant Construction, Includes Front & Rear Caps (No Hood / Good Condition)

The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM is a professional-grade wide-angle zoom lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras (also compatible with APS-C bodies, providing a 24-52.5mm equivalent range). Built to G Master optical standards, it delivers corner-to-corner sharpness and high resolving power across its entire zoom span, making it an essential workhorse for landscape photography, architectural documentation, interior real estate, photojournalism, and dynamic video production.

The optical formula utilizes 16 elements in 13 groups, including two extreme aspherical (XA) elements, three standard aspherical elements, and two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements to eliminate chromatic and spherical aberrations, field curvature, and coma. Sony’s Nano AR Coating minimizes flare and ghosting in backlit scenarios, while an 11-blade circular diaphragm creates smooth, natural bokeh. Autofocus is powered by two Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor (DDSSM) groups with a floating focus mechanism for fast, precise, and quiet tracking in stills and video. The weather-sealed chassis includes a customizable focus hold button, tactile AF/MF switch, rubberized control rings, and a protective front fluorine coating.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: Supplied with the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens, Sony front lens cap, and Sony E-mount rear bayonet cap. (Note: Dedicated lens hood is NOT included).

Exterior & Physical Status: GOOD CONDITION. The matte black metal barrel, rubber zoom/focus rings, distance markings, mount flange, and focus hold switch show normal cosmetic signs of handling and light finish wear from regular professional use.

Optical & Mechanical Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. Optical glass elements are clean and free of fungus, haze, or heavy scratches; the dual DDSSM autofocus drive locks swiftly and accurately; manual focus and zoom mechanisms operate smoothly; the electronic 11-blade aperture stops down reliably across all settings.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Ultra-Wide 16-35mm Focal Range: Versatile coverage spanning dramatic ultra-wide vistas to standard wide-angle documentary perspectives.

Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: Maintains consistent light exposure and depth-of-field control throughout the zoom range.

G Master Optical Quality: 2 XA elements and 2 ED glass elements correct distortion, coma, and color fringing for edge-to-edge clarity.

Dual Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM): Delivers rapid, precise, and whisper-quiet autofocus suitable for high-speed action stills and smooth video tracking.

Nano AR & Fluorine Coatings: Anti-reflective Nano AR coating suppresses internal flare, while the front fluorine coat repels dust, oil, and moisture.
