Features
Compact full-frame 28-70 mm zoom
This full-frame 28-70 mm zoom uses one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and three aspherical elements for superb performance, and a unique design for minimum lens extension. A 7-blade circular aperture contributes to beautiful bokeh, optical image stabilisation supports handheld use, and a dust/moisture resistant design maximises reliability. Ideal for day-to-day shooting.
A versatile zoom for everyday use
This high-performance full-frame zoom lens covers a 28-70 mm range that is often the first choice for scenery, portraits, snapshots and much more.
Compact, lightweight, and mobile
Despite its ideal range and superb optical performance, the largest diameter of this versatile lens is 72.5 mm, and overall length is 83 mm. With a weight of just 293 g (10.4 oz.), it is a compact, mobile choice for day-to-day shooting.
Bring out the best in the latest α™ bodies
AF/AE tracking speed that can keep up with the 120-fps continuous burst capability of the α9 III, precise tracking and focus even while zooming, and other features take full advantage of the latest α series bodies. Thanks to an effective dust and moisture resistant design this lens also offers extra reliability in tough conditions.
Outstanding imaging performance
Three aspherical elements combine with one ED glass element to deliver excellent optical performance throughout the zoom range. Clear, lifelike rendering has been achieved without colour bleeding. A 7-blade circular aperture unit contributes to attractive, natural-looking bokeh.
Great for movies as well as stills
Optical image stabilisation using advanced algorithms supports handheld shooting. It also works with in-body stabilisation and Sony’s Active Mode to deliver reliable stabilisation for movies. The Breathing Compensation feature in α series bodies is also supported, reducing distracting angle of view shifts and allowing smooth rack focusing.
Road to Zero
Sony's "Road to Zero" project aims for a zero environmental footprint by 2050. The environmental footprint of this product has been minimised from development through supply chain, production, and packaging. We are also transitioning to non-plastic packaging materials. Plant-based non-woven fabrics are used for product bags.
