Product Overview

Sony Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM II is a standard zoom lens for Sony A-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Sony in 2015, it has 17 elements in 13 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Sony Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM II is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Sony is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A standard zoom lens with relatively bright maximum aperture, the Sony Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM II can be a key piece in a photographer's arsenal, though some may prefer prime lenses in this focal range.
