A lens for various shooting needs
If you need to change lenses during shoots, it can cause delays and unwanted changes in image quality. Whether you're shooting photos or videos, the 18-105mm zoom range (full-frame equivalent = 27-157.5mm) and the quality of this excellent G lens will suffice for most shooting conditions, while you will have the added advantage of smooth automatic zoom.
Excellent performance at any focal length
The advanced optical design incorporating two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and three aspherical elements delivers the coveted G lens image quality throughout the zoom range. Exceptional clarity and contrast are maintained across the entire image area, offering natural, realistic rendering that accurately captures even the most subtle visual nuances.
Professional Level Zoom Technology
Sony Handycam® technology has been applied to the SELP18105G lens to ensure smooth, quiet zooming that is ideal for movie creation. The focus benefits from the same type of professional-level technology, providing smooth, quiet operation with great responsiveness. The lens length remains constant during zooming or focusing. Zoom reversal is available after a software update.
Constantly Variable Zoom Speed Control
Thanks to the lever located on the lens body or the zoom ring, you can zoom with confidence and stability and control the zoom speed with absolute precision. This advantage can prove particularly important when shooting movies.
Constant maximum aperture F4
With a constant F4 aperture at a focal length of 18–105 mm, you can zoom and change framing without worrying about exposure settings. Even at maximum telephoto zoom, you can usually shoot without needing to boost ISO sensitivity and potentially increase noise.
Beautiful Bokeh of G Lenses
G lenses are renowned for their beautifully smooth background defocusing (bokeh). This is partly due to the 7-blade circular aperture design that enhances smoothness and produces natural highlights. Smooth background defocusing can really make the subject of focus stand out in photos with almost three-dimensional depth.
Sharpness and clarity in all conditions
The built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake that causes blur in handheld shots. Capture sharp and clear night scenes or shoot indoors in low light without increasing the ISO sensitivity, risking increased noise.
