Sony ® Lenses Sony G Lenses The large-aperture G Lens series brings together a wealth of advanced technology to provide you with an exceptionally refined level of optical performance. Its aspherical lens elements improve lens performance; ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass minimizes the chromatic aberrations that occur at large apertures; and the circular aperture makes smooth, beautiful defocusing possible. The resulting difference in quality is clear to see... and clearly breathtaking.

Lens Technology Circular aperture In general, if an aperture uses 7 or 9 aperture blades, then the shape of the aperture becomes a 7-sided or 9-sided polygon as the aperture is made smaller. However, this has a certain undesirable effect in that the defocusing of point light sources appears polygonal and not circular. lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops.
Glossary Angle of view How much of a scene fits into your frame is expressed as an angle of view, which changes according to focal length. A “standard” lens is one with an angle of view of about 47°, which approximates the scope of human visual perception. A wide-angle lens is a lens that has a wider angle of view, whereas a telephoto lens is a lens with a narrower angle of view. Accessories smaller apertures, shorter focal lengths, or longer focusing distances.
Professional-quality lighting is within reach. External flash advanced features let you meter more precisely, use faster shutter speeds, set-up off-camera lighting and more. Flashes Advanced flash functions for superior control of lighting. ADI (Advanced Distance Integration) flash metering A high-precision TTL flash metering method that works in conjunction with the built-in distance encoder of the lens.
Macro Flash, Ring Light Flash Accessories Vivid lighting for high-quality macro photography, plus the freedom to control the balance of light and shadow for added effect.
