Core Technical Specifications
- Focal Range: 24–105mm, covering everything from wide-angle landscapes to mid-telephoto portraits. On APS-C bodies, it provides a 36–157.5mm equivalent reach.
- Optical Design: Features 17 elements in 14 groups, including 4 aspherical and 3 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements to suppress chromatic aberration and distortion.
- Focusing System: Driven by a Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor (DDSSM), offering fast, nearly silent autofocus that is equally effective for high-speed stills and smooth video tracking.
- Macro Capability: Boasts a minimum focus distance of 1.25 ft (0.38 m) with a maximum magnification of 0.31x, making it surprisingly capable for close-up detail shots.
- Stabilization: Includes built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS), which works in tandem with Sony’s In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) to significantly reduce camera shake at longer focal lengths
