Key Features

Wide Focal Length Range

• 24-240mm Zoom Range: The lens offers a 10x zoom range that covers everything from wide-angle 24mm to telephoto 240mm. This versatility makes it perfect for capturing a wide array of subjects, from sweeping landscapes and tight interiors to detailed portraits and distant subjects.
• Variable f/3.5-6.3 Aperture: The variable maximum aperture helps keep the lens compact and lightweight, while still providing sufficient light-gathering ability for most general photography needs.

Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization

• Built-In Image Stabilization: Sony’s Optical SteadyShot (OSS) technology compensates for camera shake, providing up to 3.5 stops of stabilization. This feature is especially useful when shooting handheld in low light or at the telephoto end of the zoom range, ensuring sharper images and smoother video.

High-Quality Optics

• Advanced Optical Design: The lens is constructed with 17 elements in 12 groups, including five aspherical elements and one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) element. These elements minimize chromatic aberrations, distortions, and other optical imperfections, delivering sharp, clear images with high contrast across the entire zoom range.
• Circular Aperture: The 7-blade circular aperture design helps create pleasing background blur (bokeh), enhancing the aesthetic quality of portraits and close-up shots.

Fast and Responsive Autofocus

• Linear Motor AF System: The lens features a linear motor-driven internal focusing mechanism that provides fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, making it suitable for both still photography and video recording.
• Internal Focusing: The internal focusing system keeps the lens length constant during focusing, allowing for easier handling and the use of polarizing filters without the need for adjustment.

Durable and Weather-Sealed Design

• Rugged Construction: The lens is built to withstand the demands of outdoor photography, featuring a dust- and moisture-resistant design that ensures reliable performance in various shooting conditions.
• Metal Lens Barrel: The high-quality metal construction not only enhances durability but also provides a premium feel that complements Sony’s full-frame mirrorless cameras.
