The SAL18250 offers significant reach at the long end - useful for shooting distant subjects, such as sports and wildlife - plus an 18 mm wide end for scenic shots.
Instead of a standard polygon-shaped lens aperture, this lens features a 7-blade circular aperture for more natural, rounded defocusing, or bokeh.
Aspherical lens elements minimize distortion while ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements provide superior contrast, resolution, and color fidelity.
The internal focusing mechanism means the lens barrel doesn’t move, enabling a more compact design, faster autofocus response, and reduced minimum focusing distances.
Pair the lens with a camera by Sony featuring built-in SteadyShot image stabilization and you’ll enjoy smooth, blur-free results when shooting handheld.
