Precise details and versatile use
The lens is designed for demanding photographers and videographers. The G Master optical design ensures high sharpness, smooth natural bokeh, and superior image quality in a compact design.
STF technology for perfect blurring
The use of STF (Smooth Trans Focus) allows you to create very smooth and natural background blur without distracting artifacts. Images take on a three-dimensional effect that is ideal for portraits, product photography, or detailed shots.
1:1 macro and high magnification
With 1:1 magnification, the lens can be used for detailed macro photography of flowers, insects, jewelry, or structures. The minimum focusing distance is 26 cm, allowing for comfortable close-up focusing. With a teleconverter, you can achieve up to 1.4× or 2.8× magnification for even more detailed shots.
Excellent optical quality
The lens contains 17 elements in 13 groups, including aspherical and ED elements, which minimize chromatic aberration and maintain high contrast and resolution from the center to the edges of the image.
Stabilization and smooth focusing
Built-in OSS optical stabilization ensures sharp images even at longer exposure times. The DDSSM (Direct Drive Super Sonic Motor) system provides quiet, fast, and accurate autofocusing, suitable for both photography and video. Advanced stabilization and communication with Sony Alpha bodies enable active stabilization mode for maximum sharpness when shooting handheld.
Durable and comfortable design
The lens has a robust, sealed body that is resistant to dust and moisture. It weighs approximately 700 g, which is relatively light for its class, and is comfortable for long periods of use. The body offers practical buttons and switches for focus lock, focus range selection, and switching between AF and MF.
