Sony E PZ 18-105mm f\/4.0 G OSS Lens for Sony E, Bundle with Peak Design SlideLITE Strap, Everyday Sling V2, 72mm Filter Kit, Cleaning Kit, Cleaning Cloth

E PZ 18-105 mm F4 G OSS
This G Lens for E-mount cameras delivers stunning still or movie imagery with the flexibility of 6x power zoom. Maximum aperture is a constant F4 from 18 mm wide angle to 105 mm medium telephoto, with excellent resolution and contrast throughout. A lever and ring on the lens barrel allow zoom speed to be freely adjusted as required while maintaining a sure, stable grip.

One lens for diverse shooting needs
Having to change lenses as you shoot can slow you down and introduce unwanted changes in image quality. Whether you shoot stills or movies, the 18-105 mm (full-frame equivalent = 27-157.5 mm) zoom range and quality of this fine G Lens will be more than enough for most shooting situations, plus you have the added advantage of smooth power zoom.

Superb rendering at any focal length
An advanced optical design that incorporates two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and three aspherical elements offers enviable G Lens image quality throughout the zoom range. Excellent sharpness and contrast are maintained through the image area, supporting natural, true-to-life rendering that deftly captures even the subtlest visual nuances.

Zoom technology inherited from pro gear
Sony Handycam technology has been implemented in the SELP18105G to ensure smooth, quiet zooming that is ideally suited to moviemaking. Focusing benefits from the same type of pro-level technology, providing smooth, quiet operation that is also responsive. The length of the lens remains constant while zooming or focusing. Zoom reversing is available after software update.

Continuously variable zoom speed control
Fingertip control of zoom speed via the zoom lever on the lens barrel or the zoom ring makes it possible to zoom smoothly while maintaining a sure, steady grip on the camera. This can be a significant advantage for consistent, stable handling, especially when shooting movies.

Constant F4 maximum aperture
A constant F4 aperture across the entire 18-105 mm range means you can zoom and reframe as necessary without having to think about changing exposure settings. Even at maximum telephoto zoom you can usually shoot without having to boost ISO sensitivity and potentially increase noise.

Beautiful G Lens bokeh
G Lenses are renowned for their beautifully smooth background bokeh. A 7-blade circular aperture design is part of the reason, enhancing smoothness and producing natural highlights. Smooth background defocusing can make the in-focus subject really stand out in images with almost three-dimensional depth.

Sharp and clear in any situation
Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake that can blur images when shooting handheld. Sharp, clear night scenes or indoor shots in dim lighting can be captured without the need to boost ISO sensitivity and risk increased noise.


Powerful contrasts and outstanding lens clarity are achieved by the advanced optical design and the impressive coatings used to prevent ghosting, flare and chromatic aberrations. It covers a large range from wide-angle to medium telephoto so that you can cover a range of events with a single fast zoom lens.

Included with this Sony 18-105mm f/4 lens is a powered zoom that's specifically designed for use in films, yet is whisper-quiet. In addition, it lets you focus manually throughout the zoom range even when the compatible E-mount camera is running for simple shot tracking. An f/4 maximum aperture keeps the lighting consistent, and the internal focusing mechanism ensures the overall length of the lens doesn't change for ease of use.

When you're shooting in low light, this telephoto zoom lens uses optical image stabilization by automatically compensating to counteract motion blur for a sharper image. Consequently, it can produce dramatic results particularly when paired with a high ISO. Aspherical lens elements, extra-low dispersion glass and a circular aperture help your camera produce outstanding photos with impressive backgrounds when paired with this Sony 18-105mm f/4 lens.

True to its high-end G Lens heritage, the SELP18105G lens features two ED glass elements and three aspherical elements for high resolution and contrast throughout the entire zoom range. Distortion at the wide end of the zoom range, and spherical/color aberration at the telephoto end, are effectively controlled so that beautiful rendering with excellent contrast is achieved at any focal length. A circular aperture design ensures that defocused areas are attractive too, providing an extensive palette of expressive imaging options.

Zoom operation noise has been reduced to the same level as Handycam camcorders. This is the world's first mid-range zoom for APS-C cameras to feature this type of floating axis construction used in Handycam camcorders, achieving exceptionally smooth, quiet focus and zoom operation. Another benefit of this type of constructions is that the length of the lens does not change while focusing or zooming, contributing to consistently easy handling.

Similar to Handycam camcorders, a zoom lever on the side of the lens allows both variable and fixed-speed power zooming. Variable speed control is step less, for enhanced speed control freedom. The zoom level can be operated while maintaining a stable grip on the camera, minimizing the likelihood that blur will occur due to camera shake. And since an independent focus ring is provided, the zoom ring can be used for power zoom control even while focusing manually.

A constant maximum aperture of F4 throughout the zoom range provides plenty of "brightness" for fast shutter speeds even in relatively low-light situations. The same shutter speed and I SO settings can be maintained at all focal lengths when shooting stills, and consistently low noise can be maintained throughout the zoom range when shooting movies.

Built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization can significantly reduce image blur. In addition to its advantages for normal shooting, Optical SteadyShot works with the Anti Motion Blur and Handheld Twilight modes to create clear, blur-free, low-noise images at night, indoors, or in any conditions that would otherwise be a challenge due to low light conditions, without making it necessary to boost sensitivity.
