Product Description

From the Manufacturer

A superb zoom lens for everyday photography -- the lens you’ll put on, and leave on. This superb standard lens for the Sony 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 27mm to 105mm midrange telephoto for snapshots, portraits, interiors,+ and more -- an excellent all-around lens to travel with.

Lens Features

DT lens design
A more compact, lightweight lens designed specifically for the APS-size CCD imager used in the Sony 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent lens for the money, May 18, 2007
I got this lens as part of a package with the alpha body. Most times, it appears this lens is extraordinarily sharp... a wonderful all around lens. It's wide enough for most use...great for group photos and such, and the long end provides beautiful, sharp portraits. A wonderful combination with the alpha body.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Lens, August 27, 2007
By Marcus Daniel (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a much better lens than you would believe for the price. Stopped down a bit and in the middle ranges of the zoom it offers good sharpness! This is my Auto settings lens and when i need to hand the camera to my wife or someone who isnt familiar with DSLR but wants to take some pictures in a family setting for example. Using a tripod and a remote release also helps alot getting the most out of this lens. I would rate it 3.5-4 depending on the mm/stop. My next lens will be the Sony SAL1680 Carl Zeiss to replace this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, February 7, 2009
By mark (Maryland) - See all my reviews
Great lens, as expected.

Good all around lens for taking around with you when you need wide angle shots as well as good quality close up macro style shots.

Money well spent!
