SELP-18200
Alpha E-mount PZ18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS
11x Zoom for a Wide Range of Subjects
The SELP18200 oers a wide 18mm to 200mm zoom range (35 mm equivalent: 27mm to 300mm):
wide to super telephoto in a single versatile lens. Expansive landscapes, dynamic snapshots with
normal human perspective, engaging medium-telephoto portraits with beautifully defocused
backgrounds, and super telephoto sports and wildlife … this exible lens comfortably covers all of
these subjects and situations.
Smooth, quiet focusing motor
The SELP18200 incorporates a newly developed internal linear motor that achieves an
exceptionally smooth and quiet focus operation. The result is an almost noiseless, smooth highspeed focusing operation that is essential for high-quality movie capture.
Powered zoom for enhanced visual expression
In addition to variable speed zoom the SELP18200 supports constant speed zooming for slow,
smooth zoom eects that can enhance cinematographic expression but are dicult to achieve
manually. Zoom can be controlled directly from camcorders that feature built-in zoom levers,
as well as from the built-in zoom lever on the lens. Since power for the internal zoom drive
mechanism is supplied by the camera, no additional battery is required.
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode
Optical image stabilizations (Optical SteadyShot) allows for sharp images to be shot using
shutter speeds as much as 4 stops slower than would normally be possible when shooting handheld. Advantageous for general photography, but is particularly eective when combined
with the Anti Motion Blur and Hand-held Twilight modes provided in the NEX-series Handycam
camcorders, and it makes dicult indoor shots that retain the mood of the ambient lighting
possible without the need to increase ISO sensitivity, delivering top-quality images with minimal
noise.
Premium-class optical performance
This high-quality lens design features 5 aspheric surfaces and unreserved application of
advanced technology developed for the Alpha-series E-mount lenses in order to deliver images
of superlative clarity and presence. This compact lens aords rst-class contrast and sharpness
from the image center right out to the edges.
Circular aperture
The SELP18200 incorporates the same type of circular aperture that is a popular feature in other
Alpha E-mount lenses. This 7-blade aperture is designed to maintain a circular shape from
maximum aperture to two stops down, yielding smooth, natural defocusing with a beautiful
circular rendering of point light sources.
Metal exterior for a rened feel
The exterior of the lens barrel is made of aluminum alloy for elegant, high-quality appearance
and feel that ideally balance the unit’s compact dimensions. Metal construction also provides
maximum durability in combination with the metal lens mount.
