High portability and mobility thanks to its compact and lightweight design. By utilizing innovative optical element placement, a newly designed, compact image stabilization mechanism, and a lightweight, newly designed, high-precision, high-thrust XD linear motor, this lens achieves a bright f/4 aperture across the entire zoom range, while achieving a compact and lightweight design with a total length of 82.2mm x 149.0mm (wide-angle) that is 26mm shorter than previous models, and a weight of approximately 794g that is approximately 46g lighter. Even when combined with a compact α series camera, this compact and lightweight system makes extended handheld shooting easy. It also features a variable overall length for superior portability. Furthermore, a zoom lock switch prevents the lens barrel from accidentally extending during transport. Its high portability and mobility expand the field of photography and increase the freedom of shooting in various situations. Achieve the exceptional imaging performance you expect from a G lens. Across the entire zoom range from 70mm to 200mm, the lens delivers high resolution, high contrast, reduced chromatic aberration, beautiful bokeh, and image stabilization from the center to the periphery. One advanced aspherical (AA) lens element and one aspherical lens element deliver high resolution and contrast all the way to the periphery. A new optical design, optimally positioned with three ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and one Super ED glass element, minimizes chromatic aberration and color fringing for sharp, sharp subject capture. Outstanding close-up shooting performance: A world first*, this lens offers macro photography with a maximum magnification of 0.5x across the entire zoom range. It also boasts superior close-up shooting performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.26m (W) - 0.42m (T) compared to previous models. In addition to the floating focus mechanism, the latest XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor provides precise control, ensuring high resolution even at close range. Wide-angle macro photography offers a very short minimum focusing distance, allowing you to easily capture close-ups of your main subject, even in environments where you can't step back. This makes it ideal for still life photography, focusing only on the main subject. Telephoto macro photography allows for a longer working distance, reducing the risk of shadows even in direct sunlight, allowing you to capture insects that fly away or inaccessible flowers. The zoom lens allows you to adjust the angle of view to capture the entire subject or just a portion of it, eliminating the need to move a tripod depending on the composition. *Based on Sony research as of July 2023. Large, soft, and natural bokeh. The beautiful bokeh you expect from a full-frame lens is achieved through well-controlled aberrations and a nine-blade circular aperture, adding a three-dimensional effect to your subject. Autofocus performance that maximizes the camera's high-speed performance. Equipped with four of Sony's latest high-thrust XD linear motors, these motors drive the floating focus group with high speed and precision, significantly improving thrust efficiency compared to previous models. This translates to AF speeds up to approximately 20% across the entire zoom range when shooting still images. Focus tracking performance while zooming has also been significantly improved, ensuring you won't miss a single moment. When paired with the flagship α1 camera, high-speed continuous shooting at up to approximately 30 frames per second is possible. Video performance that delivers high-quality video recording. Even during video, where precise focusing is required, the α series works in tandem to capture fast-moving subjects, ensuring smooth, high-precision AF operation while zooming. Furthermore, we paid careful attention to quietness and vibration during video recording, employing the latest XD linear motors and aperture unit to reduce operation noise and vibration during video recording. Smooth, accurate, and quiet focus is possible, even during slow-motion shooting. Furthermore, it suppresses breathing, which changes the angle of view when changing the focus, as well as focus shift and axis misalignment caused by zooming, minimizing fluctuations and shaking in the angle of view recorded on the screen. It also supports the α series' "breathing compensation function," further suppressing fluctuations in the angle of view during focusing, supporting elegant images.
High imaging performance even when a teleconverter is attached: Compatible with Sony teleconverters SEL20TC and SEL14TC. Teleconverter compatibility enables ultra-telephoto shooting up to 400mm with the SEL20TC and 600mm equivalent with APS-C cameras, allowing you to capture distant subjects in larger sizes. Since the working distance (the distance from the front of the lens to the subject) remains unchanged even with a teleconverter attached, you can get closer to the subject and capture even closer subjects in larger sizes. Furthermore, with the SEL20TC attached, macro shooting at up to 1:1 magnification is possible across the entire zoom range. Even with a teleconverter attached, the high imaging performance and AF performance unique to G lenses are apparent, from long-distance shooting to macro photography. High-Quality Operation That Directly Reflects the Photographer's Intentions The new design optimizes zoom torque for a refined operability. The compact body also packs features like a focus range limiter for quick focusing, a full-time DMF switch, and three customizable focus hold buttons. This lens delivers high-quality operation that directly reflects the photographer's intentions. Focus Range Limiter: The Focus Range Limiter pre-defines the focusing range, enabling quick focusing. In addition to the existing FULL and infinity-3m options, a MACRO option has been added, providing smooth support for macro photography. Full-Time DMF Switch: The full-time DMF switch allows instant manual focusing, even in AF-C mode, by simply rotating the focus ring. Even if the focus shifts to another subject during AF shooting, simply rotating the focus ring quickly returns the focus to the intended subject.
