Sony's original Nano AR coating technology effectively suppresses lens surface reflections for dramatically reduced flare and ghosting, resulting in notably enhanced overall image quality.

Reliable and easy in any conditions
Reliable operation in a variety of conditions is ensured by a design that prevents dust and moisture from entering the lens.
Sharp, well-defined reproduction
The inclusion of an ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element in an advanced Optical design effectively suppresses chromatic aberration that can be a problem in telephoto lenses, providing superior image quality throughout the zoom range. This lens can also produce gorgeous beautifully smooth background bokeh when needed.
Our Verdict
A superb telephoto zoom lens. High optical quality and construction ensures impressive results, whilst the responsive autofocus system ensure you never miss a moment.
