Large-aperture ultra-wide performance in a compact lensThe inclusion of aspherical lens elements, particularly Sony's advanced AA (Advanced Aspherical) lens technology, represents a groundbreaking achievement in optical design. By utilizing these precision-engineered elements, Sony has successfully developed a full-frame ultra-wide lens with compact dimensions of just 73.8 x 75 mm (3 x 3 inches) and an impressively lightweight build of 304 g (10.8 oz). This innovative design not only ensures exceptional mobility but also delivers outstanding imaging performance. Photographers and creators can capture stunning details across various scenarios, including breathtaking landscapes, intricate architectural structures, vibrant night scenes, and much more. |
Fast, precise autofocus supports high-level imagingTwo XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear motors work in harmony to provide rapid and accurate autofocus (AF) as well as smooth tracking capabilities. These motors are supported by a specially developed control algorithm that optimizes their performance, significantly reducing delays and minimizing vibrations commonly associated with driving larger focus groups. This advanced technology ensures exceptionally quiet and low-vibration operation, making it possible to seize critical moments when photographing dynamic and fast-moving subjects with precision and reliability. |
