Zoom without length change
The barrel does not extend as you zoom — no re-balancing on a gimbal or tripod.

18–105 mm at a constant F4 with electronically driven zoom. The barrel does not change length, so the rig needs no re-balancing after every focal length.


Zoom runs from a lever with continuously variable speed, or from the ring when you want the focal length set precisely. The drive comes from Handycam camcorders, so it is smooth and quiet.

The aperture does not change from 18 to 105 mm, so exposure stays where you set it. Two ED elements and three aspherical elements hold resolution and contrast throughout.
On APS-C the 18–105 mm range covers most situations from wide to short telephoto. Optical SteadyShot steadies handheld stills and walking shots alike.
The barrel does not extend as you zoom — no re-balancing on a gimbal or tripod.
Speed follows the pressure on the lever, so a push-in can be slow and calm or fast.
The G-series design holds image quality across the range, not only at one end.
The power zoom runs quietly enough not to end up on the built-in microphone track.
G Lens with powerful 6x refocusing for video and stills
This G Lens for E-mount cameras allows you to capture stills and movies with flexible 6x electronically controlled transfocus. The maximum aperture of F4 is constant from 18mm wide-angle to 105mm medium telephoto with unparalleled resolution and contrast. A lever and ring on the lens ring allow adjustment of the transfocus speed and a firm stable hold.

One lens for different shooting needs
Whether you're shooting stills or movies, the transfocal range and quality of this top-of-the-line G Lens will be more than sufficient for most shooting situations. Plus, you'll get smooth electronically controlled transfocusing.
Unique rendering at every focal length
The advanced optical design, which includes two ED glass elements (with maximum low dispersion) and three aspherical elements, offers the G Lens' impressive image quality throughout the entire transfocal range.
Transfocus technology adopted from professional equipment
The SELP18105G uses Sony Handycam® technology to provide smooth and quiet transfocusing that is ideal for capturing movies, without changing lens length.
Smooth variable-speed transfocus control
Fingertip control of the transfocus speed allows smooth transfocusing while keeping the camera steady and stable. This is a significant advantage when shooting video.
Lens configuration
