Sony SELP18110G Super 35mm / APS-C power zoom lens
Today, Sony has announced that they have developed a new advanced Super 35mm / APS-C format power zoom lens. Designed for the filmmakers, this powerful new creative tool starts at 18mm wide-angle and can extend to 110mm at the telephoto end (27mm – 165mm equivalent in 35mm format1), with 6.1x high zoom ratio even with inner focus; while maintaining a constant F4 aperture throughout for beautiful depth of field effects and stable exposure control across the entire standard zoom range.
Known as the SEL18110G, the top quality G Lens delivers image quality consists of 18 elements in 15 groups, including 6 aspherical elements and 3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements. It also features a highly intricate 7 blade circular aperture design that delivers extremely high-resolution image quality, particularly suited to professional 4K movie shooting.
Furthermore, it also addresses three particular aspects of lens operation on movie quality:
- Focus Breathing - Shifts in angle of view during focusing are minimised by an internal focus mechanism
- Focus Shift - Small shifts in focus that can occur while zooming are eliminated by precise focus tracking adjustment
- Axial Shift - Axial image shifts while zooming, are minimised by a constant length design
Lastly, it sports an extra versatility thanks to Optical SteadyShot technology that provides in-lens image stabilisation during handheld shooting. The SELP18110G Super 35mm / APS-C power zoom lens for professional movie-makers and photographers will be available in selected Asia Pacific countries from March 2017.
