TheE PZ 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS LensfromSonyis a powerful, yet compact zoom lens for APS-C format E-mount mirrorless cameras from Sony. Its zoom range is equivalent to 27-300mm in the 35mm format and therefore offers everything from true wide-angle to super-telephoto capabilities. This versatilityallows you toshoot groups, interiors and expansive landscapes and also zoom in for portraiture and to bring distant subjects close. A newly developed internal linear stepping motor provides quiet and smooth focusing which is ideal when shooting video. And in addition to the Power Zoom function with three variable zoom speeds, the lens supports constant speed zooming for slow, smooth zoom, which is also desirablewhen shooting video.Zoom can becontrolled from camcorders that featurebuilt-in zoom levers and by the standard controlon the lens barrel.

Optical Image Stabilization (OSS) provides 4-stops of shake-correction which will allow you togather more light with less blur and provide clearer images when shooting in low light or at long focal lengths. When OSS is combined with the Anti Motion Blur and Hand-held Twilight Modes ofNEX-seriescamcorders, low light interior shots cansustain themselves with lower ISO's and minimal noise even when using ambient light.An optical design that includes 5 aspherical elements and Extra-low dispersion glass provides sharp, high-contrast images throughout the frame.

For a lens with such a wide zoom range, it is particularly compact and its metal exterior provides durability and a high-quality presence. Direct Manual Focus allows you to use the focus ring on the lens barrel for precise manual focus.
