Key Features

• Extensive range from wide-angle to super-telephoto
• Rapid autofocus
• Robust optical stabilisation

Zoom range

Sensor format: APS-C [DC]. Equivalent to 24-450mm* in 35mm format. The 18.8x zoom ratio runs from 16 mm to 300 mm.

Optics

The optical design has 20 elements in 14 groups (1 FLD, 4 SLD, 4 aspherical elements). Nine rounded diaphragm blades give a minimum aperture of f/22-45. The lens offers superior resistance to flare and ghosting.

Focusing and magnification

High-response Linear Actuator autofocus. Minimum focusing distance: 17 cm at wide and 105 cm at telephoto. Maximum magnification: 1:2 at f=70mm, 1:3 at the wide end and 1:4 at the telephoto end.

AF assist is compatible for Sony E-mount only. The lens effectively suppresses focus breathing.

Stabilisation

Optical stabilisation is powered by the OS2 algorithm. Stabilisation provides 6 stops at 16 mm and 4.5 stops at the telephoto end. These figures are based on CIPA guidelines, measured with an APS-C camera at 16 mm and 300 mm.

Protection and controls

Dust- and splash-resistant structure. Water- and oil-repellent coating on the front. Includes a zoom lock switch.
