The lens from Sony has a focal length of 70 to 200 millimetres and an aperture of f/2.8. It has an E-mount and can be used with E-mount full-frame cameras and APS-C cameras. The telephoto focal length makes the lens ideal for long-distance shots in nature or for sports photography. The ultrasonic motor offers you quiet, powerful autofocus, which optimises the focusing speed in the telephoto range. And the optical SteadyShot image stabilisation reduces camera shake in hand-held shots for improved results when zooming in or out. The optical construction of the lens consists of 19 lenses in 16 groups and therefore provides you with outstanding image quality. In addition, the circular aperture with nine aperture blades ensures beautiful blurring in the area of the unfocussed image elements (bokeh). This progression of the background and foreground creates a targeted focus on the main subject and leads to exciting image compositions.
