  • Two New Lenses For a DSLR

    To satisfy the demands for professional imaging, Sony has announced two new lenses to compliment its existing range of lenses. Joining the Alpha lens line up is the SAL2470Z. This lens was co-developed with Carl Zeiss®, and features a wide angle 24-70mm zoom lens with a large f/2.8 aperture that is ideally suited for discerning landscape and portrait photography. Its exclusive Carl Zeiss® T* (T star) coating technology provides higher light transmission, and minimizes flare to produce images of luminous clarity, color and sharpness.

    Next in line is the SAL70300G which incorporates the optical performance of Sony's G series in a compact and flexible telephoto zoom lens with a 70-300mm telephoto coverage.

    Focus drive is also provided by Sony's Super Sonic wave Motor (SSM) technology. To match auto focus operation to the situation, a focus range limiter can be set to a minimum distance of three meters. A lens barrel mounted focus hold button locks focus if desired.
