Have all the essential focal
lengths covered with this E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens from Sony.
Designed for APS-C-format E-mount cameras, this lens offers an extremely
versatile 27-157.5mm zoom range and has a constant f/4 aperture for consistency
through all focal lengths. Making this lens a great choice for both stills and
video is the implementation of a power zoom mechanism and Handycam technology
that provides smooth, quiet zooming and focusing. Also, it uses two extra-low
dispersion elements and three aspherical elements to combat aberrations for
crisp, clean images.
On top of these features, the lens is equipped with
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization to help reduce the effects of camera
shake, especially at longer focal lengths. The lens benefits from an internal
focus design that ensures that the overall length of the lens does not change
during focusing. Additionally, it offers a minimum focus distance of 1.5' and
uses a seven-blade circular diaphragm for smooth bokeh.
A versatile mid-range zoom for
APS-C-format E-mount cameras, this 18-105mm lens provides a wide-angle to short
telephoto 27-157.5mm equivalent focal length that works for anything from vast
landscapes to tight portraits to distant subjects.
A constant f/4 maximum aperture
offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and also lends greater
control over focus position for shallow depth of field techniques.
Two extra-low dispersion glass
elements are featured in the lens design to help reduce chromatic aberrations
and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.
Three aspherical elements,
including one Advanced Aspherical (AA), are incorporated in the lens design to
reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization
helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when
shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can
also be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilization for
more effective control of camera blur.
Enjoy smooth zooms ideal for
shooting movies with the power zoom mechanism which uses Handycam technology
from Sony's well-regarded camcorders.
An internal focus design
contributes to fast autofocus speeds and the minimum focus distance of 1.5' and
easier handling as the lens maintains its overall length.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm
contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus
techniques.
