With the capability to focus quickly and zoom from super wide angle to wide angle, the SAL-1118 zoom lens captures interior scenes with greater flexibility and handles fast action in close environments. Its DT design is ideally suited for the APS-size CCD imager of your α DSLR camera. And its 35mm-equivalent zoom range of 16.5mm to 27mm gives you wide latitude in framing and composition. Please note: DT lenses are not recommended for use with the DSLR-A900.

Internal Focusing System

Lens elements at the rear of the optical system move, allowing rapid auto-focus response.

Circular Aperture

In low-light shots or nightscapes, out-of-focus light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass

ED Glass lenses minimize flare and greatly reduce chromatic aberration, giving you photos with sharper focus and more accurate color separation.

Aspherical Lens Elements

Aspherical elements correct frame distortion to provide more visually accurate super-wide-angle shots.

Advisory when using DT lenses with full-frame (35mm equivalent) DSLR cameras.

Sony α (alpha) lenses with the Digital Technology (DT) designation are ideal for use on APS-C size DSLR cameras and are not recommended for use with full frame DSLR camera bodies (such as the DSLR-A900). Although DT lenses can be used with full frame cameras, they can only realize a maximum of 11MP image size (when using the DSLR-A900)., and are not guaranteed to provide accurate Auto Exposure performance.
