Sony has been going about its full-frame mirrorless business for over 10 years now, racking up 73 E-mount lenses along the way. New for 2024, the FE 24-50mm F2.8 G standard zoom and the simultaneously released FE 16-25mm F2.8 G wide-angle zoom are designed to be the most compact and lightweight options in the class of full-frame compatible constant-aperture f/2.8 zooms.
So-called ‘trinity’ wide-angle, standard and telephoto zooms with a constant f/2.8 aperture are highly popular the world over, but they’re often bulky, heavy lenses that can feel a bit cumbersome. I often prefer zoom lenses with a slower f/4 aperture, especially for shooting with slinky mirrorless cameras rather than chunky DSLRs, as they’re generally more compact
