Sony DT 16-105mm f/3.5-5.6 Overview
Designed for APS-C cameras, this lens provides a wide-angle to telephoto zoom range equivalent to 24-157.5mm.
A maximum aperture range of f/3.5-5.6 helps keep the lens relatively compact while providing control over depth of field.
One extra-low dispersion element reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations while two aspherical elements control spherical aberrations for improved clarity and sharpness.
An Auto Clutch mechanism prevents the focusing ring from rotating when the lens is set to autofocus, allowing for easier, and more natural feeling control over the lens.
An internal focus design helps optimize the autofocus system for faster, more reliable focusing. It can also focus as close as 15.7" with a maximum magnification of 0.23x.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
