Refined movie imagery with minimized focus breathing, focus and axial shift

This lens's cutting-edge technology minimizes focus breathing, focus shift, and axis shift while zooming, resulting in refined movie imagery. XD Linear Motors and an advanced aperture unit reduce noise and vibration, ensuring seamless movie recording.

Optimally balanced for filmmaking with gimbals

Perfectly balanced for filmmaking on gimbals, the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II is designed to maintain its balance even during zooming. Its minimal extension while zooming and consistent center of gravity contribute to agile and stable maneuverability, eliminating the need for readjustment when using a gimbal.

Nano AR coating II suppresses reflections, flare and ghosting

Say goodbye to reflections, flare, and ghosting with Nano AR coating II. This lens's original anti-reflection coating suppresses unwanted effects, even in tricky lighting conditions, ensuring clarity and visual excellence.

The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II provides flexible iris control with its dedicated aperture ring. The ring features a click ON/OFF switch and an iris lock switch for tactile or silent aperture adjustments, catering to both stills and movies.

Natural, linear and precise manual focus response

Experience natural, linear, and precise manual focus response with Linear Response MF. This feature ensures that focus changes directly correlate to focus ring adjustments, offering immediate and precise control for both stills and movies.

Enhance your shooting experience with two customizable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch. These features provide convenient access to functions and focus modes for seamless shooting in any orientation.

Dust and moisture resistant design with Front fluorine coating repels fingerprints, dust, water and oil

The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II boasts improved dust and moisture resistance. Its structural sealing, silicone rubber gaskets, and lens mount rubber ring work together to minimize dust and moisture incursion, making it ideal for challenging outdoor environments. Equipped with a fluorine front element coating, this lens repels water, oil, and contaminants, making it easy to maintain the lens's pristine surface.

Completing the package is a low-profile, petal-shaped ALC-SH177 lens hood that effectively blocks unwanted light. Smaller than its predecessor, it's a less obtrusive addition during use or storage.
