Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens

The Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens. 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. Key Features of the Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens E-Mount Lens/APS-C Format 27-157.5mm (35mm Equivalent) Aperture Range: f/4 to f/22 Two ED & Three Aspherical Elements Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization Power Zoom Lever; Handycam Technology Internal Focus Minimum Focus Distance: 1.5' Seven-Blade Circular Diaphragm Zoom Range The lens offers a versatile zoom range from 18mm wide-angle to 105mm telephoto, providing flexibility for various shooting situations. This makes it suitable for a wide range of photography genres, including landscapes, portraits, and general everyday shooting. Constant Aperture The lens has a constant maximum aperture of f/4 throughout the zoom range. This means you can maintain a consistent exposure when zooming in or out, which can be particularly useful for video shooting or in low-light conditions. Optical Image Stabilization The lens features built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which helps to reduce camera shake and allows for sharper handheld shots, especially at longer focal lengths or in low-light situations. Power Zoom Unlike traditional manual zoom lenses, the E 18-105mm f/4 has a power zoom mechanism that can be controlled electronically. This allows for smooth and precise zooming while recording videos, and it can be a useful feature for those who prefer power zoom for still photography as well. High-Quality Optics The lens is constructed with high-quality optics, including advanced aspherical and extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, which help minimize aberrations, distortion, and chromatic aberration. This results in sharp and clear image quality with good contrast and color reproduction. Internal Focusing The lens utilizes an internal focusing mechanism, which means the lens elements move internally to achieve focus, without changing the physical length of the lens. This results in faster and quieter autofocus performance. Smooth Manual Focus Control The lens features a smooth manual focus ring, allowing precise and intuitive manual focus adjustments when desired. Compact and Lightweight Design The lens has a relatively compact and lightweight design, making it easy to carry and handle. It is suitable for photographers who prefer a portable setup without sacrificing image quality and zoom versatility. MPN - SELP18105G GTIN - 4905524956672
