The “Holy Trinity” standard zoom has been redefined. This lens represents the pinnacle of optical engineering, delivering prime-lens resolution in a zoom form factor. It features a sophisticated optical pathway with five aspherical elements, including two high-precision XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements, and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements. This advanced formula effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, astigmatism, and distortion, ensuring corner-to-corner sharpness even at the widest f/2.8 aperture. The new Nano AR Coating II drastically reduces flare and ghosting, maintaining high contrast in difficult backlit scenarios.
Designed for the hybrid professional, this lens offers exceptional performance for both stills and cinema. It utilizes four of Sony’s original XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors, achieving a floating focus mechanism that is fast, precise, and silent. Videographers will appreciate the minimized focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift while zooming. The linear response Manual Focus ring ensures natural, intuitive control, while the dedicated aperture ring offers a click/de-click switch for smooth iris transitions during recording.
