Sony’s New Holy Trinity

THE NEW HOLY TRINITY

Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM, FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM & FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lenses

As more and more former Nikon users moved to Sony mirrorless, many asked if Sony would release a 14-24mm F2.8 lens like Nikon offered. I never saw the value of that expanding the range 12.5% wider if it meant giving up the 24-35mm end of the range – however a 12-24mm would offer 25% wider coverage! So for those of you asking for a WIDER range, there’s a ‘New Holy Trinity’ thanks to the release of the Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens that goes all the way out to a whopping 122° angle of view.

Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Angle of View: 122° to 84°
Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM Angle of View: 84° to 34°
Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS Angle of View: 34° to 12° 30′

CLASSIC HOLY TRINITY
