Sony E PZ Zoom 18-110mm f/4.0 G OSS Super 35 mm/APS-C Power Zoom Camera Lens

With a compact, lightweight design for maximum mobility and Triple Ring Operation for ease of use, Sony's SELP18110G (Product name: E PZ 18-110mm F4 G OSS) is an ideal Super 35 mm/APS-C power zoom lens. This advanced lens has been designed for optimum performance in pro-standard Super 35mm / APS-C moviemaking applications. Starting at 18mm wide-angle and extending through an impressive 6.1x zoom range, it offers a constant F4 maximum aperture all the way. And the controls and layout have also been optimized for moviemaking, along with compatibility with E-mount Full Frame and E-mount APS-C cameras.

High-quality G Lens optical performance delivers image quality that will satisfy the most demanding professional requirements. Six aspherical elements and three ED glass elements in an 18-element 15-group design effectively suppress spherical and chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range, from the image center to periphery, achieving high resolution that is ideal for 4K production. This lens is not only an excellent choice for movies, but offers outstanding image quality for still photography as well, with stunning resolution throughout every APS-C format image.

SMO (Smooth Motion Optics) design and construction minimizes unwanted focus and image shifts while focusing or zooming for stable, high-level 4K movie production while ensuring smooth, quiet operation. Unwanted image shifts that can have a significant impact on movie quality. Focus “breathing” or shifts in angle of view during focusing are minimized by an internal focus mechanism. Small focus shifts that can occur while zooming are eliminated by precise focus tracking adjustment and axial image shifts while zooming are minimized by a constant-length design.

Constant F4 max aperture maintains exposure and depth of field regardless of the focal range you chose to zoom to. When changing your aperture to defocus the background, the areas outside of the focal plane appear blurred. This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. a lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result

High-level zoom functions include responsive manual zoom in addition to servo zoom for precise and flexible control in any situation. A mechanical drive system for manual zoom operation ensures direct, responsive control with no lag. The desired angle of view can be easily and accurately reached without overshoot or undershoot. When servo zoom is required it can be quickly activated by a switch. The direction of the zoom ring can also be switched to match individual user preferences. Slow zoom is also supported, up to three times slower than the FE PZ 28-135mm F4 G OSS.
