The ultimate standard DSLR lens -- with ultra-bright f1.4 performance.
With its 35mm-equivalent 52.5mm focal length, this superb lens closely reproduces the natural angle of vision of the human eye -- making it ideal for both general photo-imaging and fine-art photography applications where zoom capability might distract you from concentrating on aesthetic properties of your subject.
Ultra-Bright f1.4 Aperture:
In conjunction with the Super SteadyShot® image stabilization system of the Sony® &alpha (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this lens captures bright, steady images even working with hand-held camera in very low light.
Glass-Molded Aspherical Lens:
Improves optical stability and precision in creating sharper, more visually accurate images with minimal distortion even at fully open aperture.
Focus Hold Button:
For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing.
Auto Clutch:
In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate -- which improves handling ease.
