This superb standard lens for the SonyŽ α (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.
Feature List
DT Lens Design:
A more compact, lightweight lens designed specifically for the APS-size CCD imager used in the SonyŽ α (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.
