Sony 100mm f/2.8 Macro Camera Lens

The Sony SAL100M28 is a 100mm, f/2.8 Macro Lens for use with Sony DSLR cameras. Get closer to your subject to capture low-angle shots of insects, flowers and other natural wonders - and broad depth of field lets you keep backgrounds in focus too using Sharp Macro Focusing. With the Bright f2.8 Aperture, in conjunction with the Super SteadyShot® image stabilization system of the Sony a (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this lens captures bright, steady images even working with hand-held camera in low light.

Features

• High Contrast and Resolution - Excellent optical precision gives your shots greater visual accuracy for close analysis of your subject.
• Focus Range Limiter - Speeds auto-focus response by limiting the range of distances that are brought into focus -- Close-up Range, or Telephoto Range.
• Focus Hold Button - For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing
• Auto Clutch - In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate -- which improves handling ease.
• 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.
