57 Sony FE 16-35mm f2.8 GM II Lens (Sony E)
The Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II is the refined, second-generation ultra-wide zoom that forms the final piece of Sony’s "Holy Trinity" G Master v2 series. Released in late 2023, it improved upon the original by being smaller, lighter, and optically superior, making it a favorite for high-end landscape, architecture, and commercial work.
