Description:

The Sony DT 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6(D) Autofocus Lens is a compact, wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens specifically designed for the Sony Alpha and Minolta Digital SLR cameras. Optics have been optimized for a small diameter image circle in order to work with the APS-C size CCD used with digital SLR cameras.

When used with a digital SLR camera, the equivalent focal length for this lens is 24-157mm, ideal for capturing faraway subjects, sports events, dramatic landscapes and intimate close-ups.

Note! Not compatible with 35mm or "full-frame" digital SLR cameras

• DT lenses employ an optical system that is specifically designed for digital SLR cameras which incorporate an APS-C size CCD image sensor.
  
• ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to reduce chromatic aberration at telephoto extension, correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.
  
• Internal Focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, allowing the use of a circular polarizing filter.
  
• A 7-blade circular aperture for pleasing defocused effects.
