It makes an ideal pairing with theSony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 Gannounced in February.
The main compromise here is in focal range, with both lenses trading size for reach.
Sony is aiming for a no compromise lens which offers premium optical performance, AF and handling.
An 11-blade circular aperture has been used to produce smooth bokeh.
Autofocus is taken care of via two linear motors to provide fast, quiet AF with low vibration.
They drive an internal focus group, so the lens does not change length as you focus.
Sony appears to have spared no expense on the exterior, either.
The curtailed focal range might raise a few eyebrows, of course.
This is clearly the price of getting a constant f/2.8 zoom in a compact design.
