Ensure comprehensive coverage of essential focal lengths with the Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Lens. Specifically designed for APS-C-format E-mount cameras, this lens provides an impressive zoom range of 27-157.5mm and maintains a constant f/4 aperture, ensuring uniformity across all focal lengths. Its power zoom mechanism and Handycam technology enhance its suitability for both photography and videography by delivering smooth and quiet zooming and focusing capabilities. Furthermore, the lens incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements and three aspherical elements to effectively minimize aberrations, resulting in sharp and clear images.
In addition to these attributes, the lens features Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which mitigates the impact of camera shake, particularly at extended focal lengths. Its internal focus design guarantees that the lens length remains unchanged during focusing. Moreover, it boasts a minimum focus distance of 1.5 feet and utilizes a seven-blade circular diaphragm to produce aesthetically pleasing bokeh.

The lens maintains a constant f/4 maximum aperture, ensuring uniform performance across the entire zoom range while providing enhanced control over focus for achieving shallow depth of field effects. To enhance image quality, the lens incorporates two extra-low dispersion glass elements, which effectively minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, resulting in improved clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, the design includes three aspherical elements, one of which is an Advanced Aspherical (AA) element, aimed at reducing astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.
