Product Highlights
- Get close for spectacular macro : With a minimum focusing distance of 16 centimeters you can get close enough for truly imposing lifesize shots. There is less need to move the entire camera to find a usable shooting distance, so it is easy to shoot tabletop subjects without having to leave your seat and move around. This is an extremely useful lens for everyday situations.
- Excellent image-wide sharpness and bokeh : A high-performance optical design that includes an ED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration, even when shooting close, contributing to outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness. Out-of-focus backgrounds are beautiful too, with a circular aperture mechanism helping to produce smooth, natural-looking bokeh that can make your subjects stand out.
- Compact, lightweight design : Max. 70.8 mm diameter and 71 mm length with a total weight of only 236 grams 8.4 oz for outstanding mobility and easy handling. This lens is a perfect match for the compact α series, and an ideal choice for everyday use.
- Comprehensive control for easy macro : A focus-mode switch can be used to quickly switch between manual and auto focus, adapting easily to any macro opportunities that arise. A focus-range limiter sets the lens’s focus range for the fastest possible AF operation, and a focus-hold button freezes focus wherever it is pressed for controlled, stable shooting.
- For snapshots as well as macro: The lens’s “normal” 50 mm focal length makes it ideal for shooting scenery and portraits as well as close-up subjects. An aspherical element carefully compensates for field curvature, maintaining top image quality from image center to periphery.
