Easy for everyday use. An APS-C standard power zoom lens that delivers a wide range of creative expression for both video and still images. This compact and lightweight standard power zoom lens for APS-C cameras delivers a wide range of creative expression for both video and still images. Covering a wide range of focal lengths from 24mm wide-angle to 75mm medium telephoto, its retractable mechanism (storage structure) allows it to be slim at just 31.3mm long and weighing approximately 107g when powered off, making it highly portable. In addition, AF performance has been improved, improving focus tracking accuracy during powered zooming. Furthermore, built-in optical image stabilization (OIS) reduces camera shake during video recording. It also supports the "breathing compensation" function* on compatible cameras. *Please see the manufacturer's website for details.
High Image Quality: The clever arrangement of nine elements in eight groups, including four aspherical lenses and one ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element, delivers high resolution across the entire zoom range, from 24mm wide-angle to 75mm medium telephoto. Color bleeding is also minimized, resulting in clear subject images.
Beautiful bokeh that makes your subject stand out: The seven-blade circular aperture produces beautiful bokeh.
Excellent Close-Up Performance: With a maximum magnification of 0.215x and a minimum focusing distance of 0.25m (wide end) and 0.30m (telephoto end), it offers excellent close-up shooting performance, allowing you to get close to your subject and capture them in a large format, such as in tabletop photos. AF performance maximizes the performance of the latest camera body. The optimized linear motor provides agile control for fast, precise focusing on your target subject. You'll never miss a precious photo opportunity of a moving child or pet. Its excellent tracking capability supports the α9 III's high-speed continuous shooting at approximately 120 frames per second. It also maintains quiet, smooth subject tracking even during high-frame-rate video recording at 4K 120p/FHD 240p, which requires precise focusing. Improved video performance. The power zoom (electronic zoom) enables quiet, smooth zooming. It also supports autofocus while zooming. Built-in optical image stabilization (OIS) is compatible with the camera's electronic image stabilization (Active Mode) and coordinated image stabilization control, reducing camera shake during video and still image capture. Furthermore, the optical design suppresses focus breathing, minimizing fluctuations in the angle of view and shaking in the image, enabling the smooth expression required for video.
Compact size that can be taken anywhere, anytime Thanks to the retractable mechanism (storage structure), the camera is slim, measuring just 31.3mm in total length when powered off. It also maintains robustness while achieving a lightweight overall weight of approximately 107g, making it highly portable.
Compact body with uncompromising operability The zoom and focus rings are integrated, allowing you to quickly adjust to the desired focal length (zoom position). Using the zoom lever also allows for smooth, constant-speed zooming. The filter diameter is 40.5mm.
