This lens is designed for Sony digital cameras with the E-mount for shooting and creating professional-quality images. Every shot captures fine details and outstanding colours. The lens, with Carl Zeiss optics, has a maximum aperture of F/1.8. This fast maximum aperture means that you can shoot handheld in low-light conditions while still getting outstanding sharpness and clarity.
The three aspherical elements, E-glass construction, and the special anti-reflective Carl Zeiss T coating provide images with sublime contrast and sharpness, no matter which setting you are using. It optimises performance and minimises distortion and flatness of the image, giving your images a deep, three-dimensional look. You can be sure that your shots will never be affected by any flaring or ghosting effects.
Because of the internal focusing mechanism, the lens tube does not move when focusing. In addition, the lens can boast its small dimensions, provides faster autofocus and a shorter minimum focus distance. The lens has a dust and moisture resistant design. It means that the lens will continue to perform reliably in moderately wet or dusty conditions, so you can shoot with confidence no matter where you are.

Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
