Wide-angle impact over a useful zoom range
This compact wide-angle zoom lens covers a useful focal length range with outstanding image quality, particularly when matched with an α7 series full frame image sensor.
Refined optics deliver stunning images
AA (advanced aspherical), aspherical, and ED optical elements add up to superior corner-to-corner performance with low distortion and colour aberration. T* coating minimizes flare and ghosting.
Constant exposure at any zoom setting
Maximum aperture is F4 at all focal lengths so the user can zoom and shoot at any aperture without having to keep track of changes in exposure settings or depth of field.
Sharp and clear in any situation
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization compensates for camera shake that can blur images when shooting handheld, for sharp, clear night scenes and low-light indoor shots.
