Product Description
This G Lens for E-mount cameras delivers stunning still or movie imagery with
the flexibility of 6x power zoom. Maximum aperture is a constant F4 from 18 mm
wide angle to 105 mm medium telephoto, with excellent resolution and contrast
throughout. A lever and ring on the lens barrel allow zoom speed to be freely
adjusted as required while maintaining a sure, stable grip.
One lens for diverse shooting needs
Having to change lenses as you shoot can slow you down and introduce
unwanted changes in image quality. Whether you shoot stills or movies, the
18-105 mm (full-frame equivalent = 27-157.5 mm) zoom range and quality of this
fine G Lens will be more than enough for most shooting situations, plus you have
the added advantage of smooth power zoom.
Superb rendering at any focal length
An advanced optical design that incorporates two ED (Extra-low Dispersion)
glass elements and three aspherical elements offers enviable G Lens image
quality throughout the zoom range. Excellent sharpness and contrast are
maintained through the image area, supporting natural, true-to-life rendering
that deftly captures even the subtlest visual nuances.
Zoom technology inherited from pro gear
Sony Handycam technology has been implemented in the SELP18105G to ensure
smooth, quiet zooming that is ideally suited to moviemaking. Focusing benefits
from the same type of pro-level technology, providing smooth, quiet operation
that is also responsive. The length of the lens remains constant while zooming
or focusing. Zoom reversing is available after software update.
Continuously variable zoom speed control
Fingertip control of zoom speed via the zoom lever on the lens barrel or the
zoom ring makes it possible to zoom smoothly while maintaining a sure, steady
grip on the camera. This can be a significant advantage for consistent, stable
handling, especially when shooting movies.
Constant F4 maximum aperture
A constant F4 aperture across the entire 18-105 mm range means you can zoom
and reframe as necessary without having to think about changing exposure
settings. Even at maximum telephoto zoom you can usually shoot without having to
boost ISO sensitivity and potentially increase noise.
Beautiful G Lens bokeh
G Lenses are renowned for their beautifully smooth background bokeh. A
7-blade circular aperture design is part of the reason, enhancing smoothness and
producing natural highlights. Smooth background defocusing can make the in-focus
subject really stand out in images with almost three-dimensional depth.
Sharp and clear in any situation
Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake
that can blur images when shooting handheld. Sharp, clear night scenes or indoor
shots in dim lighting can be captured without the need to boost ISO sensitivity
and risk increased noise.
