Sony is bolstering its mirrorless camera system with a new lens, the FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM. It's a professional-grade zoom with coverage that's squarely ultra-wide, and is the only one of its type to also offer an f/2.8 aperture. It's capable of capturing the same epic views as the FE 12-24mm F4 G, but gathering twice as much light, and, according to Sony, offering better overall optics to boot. It's a member of the premium G Master line, the company's highest class of lens. Sony touts its excellent edge-to-edge resolution, minimal distortion, and premium build. Wide-angle lenses are a favorite for landscape specialists, and this one is built for use in any weather, and includes fluorine protection to help keep its big front element free of smudges and debris. At 5.4 by 3.8 inches (HD) and 1.9 pounds, it's a little bit bigger and heavier than the 12-24mm F4 G (4.6 by 3.5 inches, 1.2 pounds), but it also gathers twice the light.

It's only a little hyperbolic to say that the Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM ($2,999.99) is a special lens, one that's simply unavailable for other camera systems. There are other full-frame zooms that cover as broad an angle, but none gather as much light as this F2.8 zoom. It's not just about the f-stop—the lens is good enough to use with the highest-resolution cameras, focuses quickly, and is made for all-weather shooting. It's a tool for the most demanding photographers, and worth every penny of its asking price, earning our Editors' Choice award. If you can't spend this much, think about the $1,699.99 Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G or the $1,199 Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art, both excellent optics in their own right.Extremely Aspheric Despite its ambitious design specifications, the FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM isn't at all unwieldy. It's a little big for a zoom at 5.4 by 3.8 inches (HW), and at 1.9 pounds a little heavier than most cameras with which you'll use it. It's only a little larger than the Si...

Sony's FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM lens capture wide views with stunning detail, even on high-resolution cameras. It's a rewarding tool for photographers that can afford its high price.
