Key Features

    The lens that goes where you go - with a slim, compact design that retracts down to 29.9mm, it’s perfect for travel
    Effortless zooming - the first E-mount lens with an electrically driven zoom, it has a smooth, silent operation – ideal for shooting video
    Noise-free shots even in low light - with a constant maximum aperture of F4, you can use fast shutter speeds without raising ISO sensitivity unnecessarily
    Ready when you are - as soon as camera power is turned on, the lens extends and is ready for shooting
    Flexibility and control - in AF (Auto Focus) mode the dual-function control ring handles zoom; in MF (Manual Focus) mode, the ring offers manual control
    Big-lens performance - Extra-Low Dispersion glass and four aspherical lens elements deliver accurate, distortion-free images
    Blur at its best - thanks to the circular aperture you can capture attractive foreground and background blur effects
    Built-in image stabilisation - Optical SteadyShot not only reduces camera shake during handheld shooting but also improves performance in low-light conditions
