Adding to the versatility of the zoom design is a vibration-compensated image stabilization system, which reduces the appearance of camera shake for more stable photo and video recording in low light conditions. Also benefiting from the maneuverability, an RXD stepper motor enables fast and near-quiet autofocus performance, along with permanent manual focus and a minimum focusing distance of 7.5 inches. with fluorine coated front element to protect against fingerprints and smudging.
The versatile zoom is designed for Sony E-mount APS-C format mirrorless cameras and covers short-telephoto wide-angle fields of view with its equivalent focal length range of 25.5-105mm.
The constant bright maximum aperture of f / 2.8 delivers consistent brightness throughout the zoom range and provides greater control over depth of field.
Two molded glass aspherical elements and one hybrid aspherical element help correct distortion and spherical aberrations to achieve a high degree of sharpness and precise rendering.
Two LD (Low Dispersion) elements dramatically reduce color fringing and chromatic aberration across the zoom range to improve color clarity and accuracy.
BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating has been applied to individual elements to remove internal reflections, reflections and ghosting for better contrast and color fidelity when working in harsh conditions. intense lighting.
The Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive (RXD) autofocus motor delivers incredibly quiet, fast and smooth focusing performance to suit both still and video applications. This focus system also offers a minimum focus distance of just 7.5 '' and a maximum magnification of 1: 4.8 for working with close-up subjects. A permanent manual focus is also possible, and it is compatible with Sony's direct manual focus function or - Optimized manual control.
VC Image Stabilization helps minimize the appearance of camera shake for more effective handheld shooting in difficult lighting conditions.
A moisture resistant construction benefits when using this lens in adverse conditions, and a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens to protect against dust, dirt and smudges.
The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.
