If you’re a photographer/videographer who needs maximum speed, versatility & mobility to rapidly respond to a wide range of shooting situations, from portraits & snapshots to sports, this is a lens you should consider. It features an extensive 11x zoom range, from wide 18mm to 200mm telephoto with impressive image quality all the way. The advanced Optical Steady Shot image stabilization system included in this lens will not only make it easier to shoot blur-free stills at long focal lengths, but it also has an automatic Active Mode that will help keep your movie images steady as you move around with the camera while shooting at the wide end of the zoom range. Another feature that contributes to high-quality movie production is extremely quiet autofocus & aperture operation that will keep your soundtracks free of unwanted camera noise. ...

Significantly smaller & lighter than comparable lenses, the Sony SEL18200LE high magnification zoom lens is perfect for a wide range of shooting situations. With a compact size achieved in part by downsizing the autofocus motor & optical image stabilization unit, this lens offers a powerful mix of versatility & image quality perfect for shooting scenarios where a light, compact camera & lens combination is optimal. The broad focal length coverage of the lens—from 18mm wide angle to 200mm telephoto (27mm to 300mm in 35mm equivalence)—makes it an ideal high-magnification “travel” lens for a wide range of shots. Capture expansive landscapes, charming portraits with pleasantly blurred backgrounds, even sports & nature shots. Optical Steady Shot (OSS) technology cuts down on blur caused by camera shake & reduces reliance on high ISO settings when shooting in dark environments. ...

Featuring an 11x zoom this E-mount lens with servo Power Zoom offers smooth telephoto zooming for video & movies. It features built-in controls for smooth video zooming, quick autofocusing & Optical Steady Shot (OSS) to help smooth video or stills photography. It offers an equivalent focal length of 27-300mm, with a 7 bladed circular aperture. Zooming can be done directly from the built-in controls on your camera or camcorder, or try using the lever on the lens itself. Can be used on NEX cameras & camcorders that feature the E-Mount fitting. ...

Ultra-compact 13.8x high zoom ratio lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras & incorporating Sigma’s original Optical Stabiliser function & Thermally Stable Composite. This high zoom ratio lens is designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras & incorporates Sigma’s original OS (Optical Stabiliser) technology. This system offers the use of shutter speeds Approx. 4 stops slower. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) & aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. Sigma's newly developed Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) allows for a more compact design & the HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures fast & quiet auto-focusing. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 35cm & a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9, making it convenient for close-up photography. Sigma’s unique OS technology This lens is equipped with Sigma’s own unique OS technology. This system offers the use of shutter speeds Approx. 4 stops slower. It also compensates for camera shake when shooting moving subjects such as motor sports. * Sony & Pentax mounts do not incorporate Optical Stabilisation. Superior image quality One SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element offers excellent correction of colour aberration & three aspherical lenses, including a double-sided aspherical lens, prevent & correct all types of aberrations such as astigmatism, achieving high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Reduced Ghosting & Flare Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare & ghosting, ensuring sharp & high contrast images even in backlit conditions.. Minimum focusing distance of 35cm throughout the entire zoom range A minimum focusing distance of 35cm throughout the entire zoom range & a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9 makes this lens ideal for close-up photography. When the APS-C size sensor is taken into consideration, the effective maximum reproduction ratio becomes 1:2. Quiet & fast AF An inner focusing system & the incorporation of HSM provide fast & quiet auto-focusing. *AF will not function if the Pentax camera bodies do not support HSM. Petal-type hood This lens is supplied with a Petal-type hood to block out extraneous light & reduce internal reflections. Magnification scale A magnification scale is displayed on the lens barrel, ensuring ease of use. * Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras. ...

The Tamron 18-270mm f 3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens is a 15x zoom lens that features Tamron's unique Piezo Drive ultrasonic motor for silent, precise & extraordinarily fast autofocus. The 15x zoom offers focal lengths from 18mm at the wide-angle end up to a telephoto 270mm (29-432mm in 35mm equivalent) making it an ideal, all purpose lens. Despite its impressive performance, the Tamron 18-270mm f 3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens is both lightweight & compact, making it a great choice for travel photography. In addition to the Piezo Drive ultrasonic motor this Tamron lens features a Vibration Control mechanism to help keep images steady & blur free, even at maximum zoom. PZD (PIEZO Drive) Ultrasonic motors are divided into two categories depending on how the energy that moves the drive is generated: travelling wave motors & standing wave motors. The 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II PZD employs a newer technology, the PZD (PIEZO Drive), which functions according to the standing wave principle. A standing wave ultrasonic motor utilizes high-frequency voltage to extend & turn the piezoelectric (piezoceramic) element, thus moving the entire element in a standing wave movement. The metal tip is the contact point of the element to the rotor, & moves in an elliptic motion from the swivelling motion of the moving element. The friction from this motion subsequently turns the rotor. Standing wave ultrasonic motors have the distinct advantage of being faster, quieter & more precise & compact than their travelling wave counterparts. VC (Vibration Compensation) Tamron’s VC mechanism employs a three-coil system, whereby three driving coils activate the shake-compensating VC lens group electromagnetically via three steel balls. The VC lens element is simply held in place by contact with the steel balls, resulting in smooth movement with little friction. This delivers a stable viewfinder image with excellent tracking performance & eliminates the blur from handheld shots for cleaner, crisper shots. New VC mechanism (moving coil method) Tamron’s original VC image stabilization mechanism utilizes a moving magnet system with heavy magnets. In the new VC unit the positions of the magnets & the coils are reversed, consequently the VC optical lens element is attached to the coil. The new VC mechanism employs a moving coil mechanism with lightweight coils, which reduces the load on the drive system. The lighter, more compact newly enhanced VC unit contributes to the lens’s overall lightweight & compact size. ...
