Innovative optics with the largest XA element in any α lens Three
XA (extreme aspherical) elements, including the largest ever made,
combine with one aspherical element in an innovative optical design
that achieves stunning G Master resolution throughout the image
area. Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass
elements suppress chromatic aberration, and a new Nano AR Coating
II minimises flare and ghosting for clear, crisp imagery. Constant
F2.8 brightness 12-24mm zoom with a constant F2.8 maximum aperture
is ideal for shooting night scenes, starry skies, and other
low-light subjects at low sensitivities without having to use
extremely slow shutter speeds. Ultra-wide angles and large aperture
in a small, lightweight zoom An advanced optical design with four
aspherical elements, including three XA types, plus a mechanical
design that features Sony’s original XD linear motors, in a
compact, lightweight 12-24mm constant F2.8 zoom that delivers
stunning image quality. In addition to being ideal for landscapes,
night scenes, and architecture, this lens provides extra mobility
for active sports photographers who shoot wide angles. XD Linear
Motors for fast, accurate AF and reliable tracking Four XD Linear
Motors, two for each of the lens’s focus groups, contribute to
fast, precise autofocus and tracking that make full use of the
speed potential provided by high-performance α camera bodies. New
control algorithms maximise the response of the XD Linear Motor
system while achieving flawless synchronisation between the focus
groups. Operation is also quiet with minimal vibration. Control and
reliability for professional applications A focus hold button,
focus mode switch, zoom ring, focus ring, and other controls are
designed and positioned for easy operation and a smooth workflow.
Alternative functions that support the user’s individual shooting
needs can be assigned to the focus hold button via camera body menu
settings. A fluorine front element coating plus a dust and moisture
resistant design ensure high reliability in challenging
environments.
