ZEISS quality in a compact, versatile zoom

Here’s class-leading ZEISS optics with the T* coating in a mid-range zoom that is compact and convenient for a wide range of subjects and shooting situations.

Refined optics deliver stunning images

Four aspherical elements, including one AA (advanced aspherical) element, combine with one ED glass element for consistently breathtaking rendering throughout the zoom range.

Constant exposure at any zoom setting

Maximum aperture is F4 at all focal lengths so the user can zoom and shoot at any aperture without having to keep track of changes in exposure settings or depth of field.

Always sharp and clear

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake that can blur images when shooting handheld, for sharp, clear night scenes and low-light indoor shots.


Lens Configuration

Legendary ZEISS quality manufactured and calibrated specifically for Sony imaging products. The T* coating contributes to exquisite rendering and contrast.
