About this item

Take superb shots with this great all-around lens. In 35mm equivalent, it coverswide-angle 27mm to 105mm midrange telephoto for gorgeous snapshots, portraits, interiors and more.

This superb standard lens for the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera handles the full range of shots you'll take most often, but there's nothing standard about its advanced optical design.

In 35mm equivalent, it covers wide-angle 27mmto 105mm midrange telephoto for snapshots, portraits, interiors and more, an excellent all-around lens to travel with.

DT Lens Design: A more compact, lightweight lens designed specifically for the APS-size CCD imager used in the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera.

Aspherical Lens Elements: To correct visual aberrations at wide-angle setting, enabling a lightweight lens to capture more visually accurate wide-angle shots.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass: To reduce chromatic aberration at telephoto extension, correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.

Circular Aperture: Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.
