This compact and lightweight high-magnification zoom lens for APS-C format is ideal for a variety of shooting scenes. Covering a wide range of focal lengths from the frequently used wide-angle 27mm to the telephoto 202.5mm (equivalent to 35mm), this high-magnification zoom lens for APS-C format is ideal for a variety of scenes, including landscapes, portraits, and nature photography. Despite its 7.5x optical magnification, its compact and lightweight design offers the portability unique to the E-mount system. The new optical design delivers high resolution performance across the entire zoom range, from edge to edge. It also features built-in optical image stabilization, supporting handheld shooting. It's ideal for everyday snapshots, as well as travel, where minimal luggage is required. Its fast, highly accurate, and quiet AF drive makes it ideal for both still and video capture. The compact and lightweight design ensures high portability for the entire E-mount system. Despite its high zoom ratio, the lens boasts a maximum diameter of 67.2mm, length of 88.0mm, and weight of 325g. The new optical design, optimized for the short flange focal distance, ensures high portability not only for the lens itself, but for the entire E-mount system. The new optical design, incorporating aspherical lenses, delivers high resolution performance across the entire zoom range. The aspherical lenses effectively correct various aberrations, enabling superior image quality across the entire zoom range. Two effectively positioned ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass elements effectively correct chromatic aberration, which can reduce resolution, resulting in sharp images across the entire frame. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) ensures comfortable handheld shooting. The built-in OIS function ensures sharp subject capture, even during telephoto shooting, where camera shake is likely to occur, or in low-light situations such as indoors. Excellent close-up shooting capabilities with a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m and a maximum magnification of 0.29x. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m and a maximum magnification of 0.29x, this lens offers excellent close-up shooting capabilities, allowing you to capture subjects like flowers and living creatures in a blur-free environment, making it a versatile lens for everyday use. The circular aperture also produces beautiful bokeh. A linear motor ensures quiet, high-speed, and high-precision AF. The AF drive employs a linear motor, enabling quiet, high-speed, and high-precision movement of the focus lens group. It maximizes the camera's AF performance, enabling precise focusing even when capturing moving subjects in both video and still images.
