Sony 11-18mm f4.5-5.6 DT Lens

The Sony 11-18mm f/4.5-5.6 DT lens provides the capability to focus quickly and zoom from super-wide-angle to wide-angle. This lens shoots interior scenes with incredible flexibility, and handles fast action in close environments.

The lens' design is perfectly suited for the APS-size CCD imager of the Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 camera. Its 35mm-equivalent zoom range of 16.5mm to 27mm offers wide latitude in framing and composition. Lens elements at the rear of the optical system move to ensure rapid auto-focus response, while aspherical elements correct frame distortion to give more visually accurate super-wide-angle shots.

Optical enhancements include aspherical lenses to reduce spherical aberrations, AD (anomalous dispersion) glass, and a special lens coating that reduces the flaring that often occurs in digital SLR cameras. These ED Glass elements deliver photos with sharper focus and more accurate colour separation. In low-light conditions or night-shots, out-of-focus light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect which is bound to please to any photographer.
