Stunning Sony G Lens Image Quality
Stunning, truer-to-life image quality sets apart Sony G Lenses like the Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS lens. Its refined optics feature two Extra-low Dispersion glass elements and three aspherical elements for outstanding sharpness, contrast and resolution at every focal length. The maximum f4 aperture offers consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, so there’s no need to adjust your exposure settings when zoomed right in. Emphasise your subjects with beautifully soft, natural-looking bokeh, made possible by the lens’ 7-blade circular aperture.
Sharp, Clear Shots in Any Setting
Capture crisp, clear shots, even at night or in a dimly lit concert venue. Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilisation in the Sony 18-105mm f4 lens counteracts camera shake, which often occurs when you shoot handheld or at slower shutter speeds. This helps keep your images blur-free and means you needn’t rely on boosting your ISO and possible image noise.
