Rent the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II lens to bring your visual stories to life in a way that was hardly imaginable before. It's the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame F2.8 wide-angle zoom, which already makes it a heavyweight in terms of performance but a featherweight in handling. Weighing just about 547g (19.3 oz), it's 20% lighter than its predecessor, the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM​​. This makes it super nice when you're using it on a gimbal.

Imagine capturing landscapes, cityscapes, or even that elusive wide shot in a crowded space with extraordinary resolution and bokeh throughout the zoom range. This lens promises breathtaking G Master image quality right out to the edges of the frame, allowing for detailed rendering of dynamic wide-angle scenes even with the aperture wide open​​. Thanks to its high spatial resolution, your images will exude a clarity that will leave your audience mesmerized.

The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II lens excels in creating beautiful, smooth bokeh, adding depth and an artistic touch to your shots. This is made possible by its large F2.8 maximum aperture, innovative optical design, and an advanced 11-blade aperture unit, offering a blend of high resolution and gorgeous bokeh that can elevate your photography from great to extraordinary​​.

For the video aficionados, this lens is a dream come true. Its autofocus is not just fast; it's lightning fast, smooth, precise, and quiet, thanks to the floating focus mechanism which includes four original XD Linear Motors, allowing for up to 2x faster AF speed. This feature, coupled with minimized focus breathing and reduced chromatic aberration, ensures that your video footage is not just crisp but also cinematic​​.

What's more, the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II is robust, ready to accompany you on all your adventures. Its improved dust and moisture resistance, with structural sealing at all seams, and a rubber ring at the lens mount, ensures that it can withstand challenging outdoor environments​​.

As for optical quality, the lens exhibits remarkable sharpness and control over aberrations. Its bokeh is smoother and more aesthetically pleasing compared to its counterparts, further enhancing the depth of field effects​​. The lens manages barrel distortion effectively, which is particularly important at wider angles.

In conclusion, the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II is more than just a lens; it's a wide-angle magic wand for your camera, transforming ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual narratives.
