Experience top-notch photography courtesy of this SONY photographic lens. The SONY family now introduces this high-quality lens with ZEISS® Sonnar technology with T* coating, designed to eliminate lens flare, internal reflection, and light scattering. The lens is primarily compatible with full-frame or APS-C sensor cameras with A-mounts (Alpha-series cameras). With its minimum focus distance of 72cm and 0.25× magnification ratio, it is mainly ideal for mid-range photography. Its maximum aperture is an impressive F/1.8, so you get high-quality images even in poor lighting. The lens provides a solid focal length of 135mm (Full-Frame sensor) and 202.5mm (APS-C sensor) respectively. This ensures that the taken shots always feel natural to the human eye.
To achieve the best image quality possible, the lens uses 11 lenses (in 8 groups). The lens elements are made of high-quality optical glass that minimises optical distortion and chromatic aberration. This gives you a clean and sharp image. In addition, two lens elements are made of ED glass, providing a stunning contrast across the entire aperture range. An integral part of the lens is the circular aperture to achieve a beautiful blur effect.
The packaging contains a lens hood (ALC-SH0003: circular, bayonet-type), front and rear lens cap, box

Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
