A 24 mm to 240 mm 10x zoom range allows this single lens to cover an extensive variety of shooting situations, making it ideal for travel where reducing luggage is a priority, as well as for landscapes, architecture, snapshots, portraits, and much more. Switch between wide angle and telephoto without having to change lenses, letting you capture more of those fleeting moments. Advanced optics effectively subdue aberration while achieving high resolution throughout the image area, and a precision linear motor drives the focus for quick, smooth response. Handheld telephoto shots and low-light photography are facilitated by built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization, and the design is dust and moisture resistant for reliable operation in challenging conditions.
Although 28 mm is the normal wide end for this type of lens, extending the range to 24 mm allows more dynamic images to be captured, especially in full-frame format.
The 24 mm to 240 mm zoom range covers a broad variety of photographic needs, from nature and scenery to architecture and portraits.
Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization makes it easier to capture clear images when shooting handheld at the telephoto end of the zoom range or in low light.
A design that resists dust and moisture helps ensure reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.
Impressive optical performance for Sony E-mount cameras, precision engineered for versatility and reliability in a wide range of applications.
MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) describes how well a lens can reproduce fine details, measured as the degree of contrast achieved between finely spaced lines.
