Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens

Covering essential focal lengths, the E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens from Sony, available at Lightbulb Rentals, is designed for APS-C-format E-mount cameras, offering a versatile zoom range from wide-angle to short telephoto (equivalent to 27-157.5mm). Its constant f/4 aperture ensures consistent performance across all focal lengths, making it suitable for both photography and videography. The lens features a power zoom mechanism and Handycam technology, enabling smooth and quiet zooming and focusing, enhancing its usability for video shooting.
Optical performance is enhanced by two extra-low dispersion elements and three aspherical elements, which work together to minimize aberrations and deliver sharp, clear images. The inclusion of an Advanced Aspherical (AA) element helps reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other aberrations that can affect image quality.
For improved handheld shooting, the lens incorporates Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which effectively reduces the impact of camera shake, particularly useful at longer focal lengths. This stabilization system can be combined with compatible camera’s sensor-shift type image stabilization for enhanced control over camera blur.
The lens maintains a constant length during focusing due to its internal focus design, ensuring ease of handling and contributing to faster autofocus speeds. It offers a minimum focus distance of 1.5′, allowing for close-up shooting versatility. A seven-blade circular diaphragm contributes to smooth bokeh, enhancing the aesthetic quality of out-of-focus backgrounds when using selective focus techniques.
