Product Description
Lightweight, Compact, High-magnification zoom lens
With broad zoom range extending from 18mm wide-angle to 135mm telephoto, the
versatile lens covers a wide range of subjects and situations. It features
compact, lightweight portability that maximizes the APS-C format E-mount
advantage, as well as fast, precise, quiet AF operation that make it an
excellent one-lens solution for day-to-day shooting.
7.5x zoom in a compact, lightweight lens
This lens weighs in at a mere 11.5oz (325g), and is no larger than 67.2mm in
diameter and 88mm in length. At the telephoto end of the zoom range the focal
length is 202.5mm (35mm format equivalent), providing ample reach for general
shooting as well as landscapes, wildlife, portraits, and more.
High corner-to-corner resolution
A new optical design that includes one aspherical element contributes to
consistently high resolution from the image center right out to the edges
throughout the zoom range, while two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements
effectively suppress chromatic aberration. Built-in optical image stabilization
makes it easier to shoot blur-free images handheld.
Close-ups with beautiful background bokeh
Minimum focusing distance is just 0.45 m (1.48 ft) (0.29x max.
magnification), making it easy to shoot close-ups of sweets, flowers, and
wildlife that combine sharp in-focus subjects with beautiful background bokeh.
Bokeh quality is enhanced by a circular aperture design.
Fast, precise, quiet AF is ideal for stills and movies
A precision linear motor powers the lens's AF system, for fast, precise,
quiet operation that is ideally suited for movies as well as stills.
