Sony 28-70mm f2 hire in London

About this kit
The Sony FE 28-70mm F2 GM is a standard zoom with a constant f/2 aperture, a stop brighter than the usual f/2.8. It's built for weddings, events, music videos, fashion and documentary, where you want the low-light ability and background separation of a prime without stopping to change lenses.
That extra stop costs size and weight: it's noticeably bigger and heavier than the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 II, and you'll feel it by the end of a handheld day. It also starts at 28mm rather than 24mm, so in tight rooms you have a little less width. Autofocus is quick and quiet, and at f/2 subjects separate cleanly from the background even at the wide end. There's no optical stabilisation in the lens, so it relies on the camera's in-body system.
It works on every E-mount body we hire and suits the Sony FX3, Sony A7S III or Sony FX6 for video, and the Sony A7 IV or Sony Alpha A7 V for stills. With a light body such as the Sony FX3, it's within the payload of the Ronin RS4 Pro or Ronin RS3 Pro. For a longer f/2 option, the Sony 50-150mm F2 GM picks up where it leaves off.

Questions people ask
- What's included with each item?
- It's listed on the item page under "in the case" — batteries, cards, chargers, cages and cases where they come with the kit. If something you need is not listed, add it from Accessories or ask.
- Can I extend while the kit is out?
- Yes, if nobody else has it booked — message us before your return date and we update the booking and the invoice. The earlier you ask, the more likely the answer is yes.
- What if something gets damaged?
- Minor wear is expected and never charged. Accidental damage is covered by your hire agreement: you are responsible for the kit while it is with you, and significant damage is charged at the repair or replacement cost.
