The Sony E PZ 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS lens is a versatile and compact zoom lens designed for APS-C-format E-mount cameras. Covering an extensive focal length range of 18-200mm (equivalent to 27-300mm in full-frame terms), it is ideal for a variety of shooting scenarios, from wide-angle landscapes to super-telephoto shots. Whether you’re shooting stills or video, this lens provides a high level of flexibility and performance.
One of the key features of this lens is its power zoom mechanism, which allows for smooth, precise zooming during video recording. The zoom speed can be adjusted to suit different styles, ensuring seamless transitions in footage. Additionally, the lens incorporates built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization to minimize the effects of camera shake, especially when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can also be paired with your camera’s sensor-shift stabilization for even greater control.
The lens’s optical construction includes extra-low dispersion (ED) and aspherical elements that work together to reduce chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and various other optical distortions, delivering sharp and accurate images across the entire zoom range. The internal focus mechanism ensures faster autofocus performance, and the lens does not extend in length during use, making it easier to handle. It also has a seven-blade circular diaphragm for creating pleasing, smooth bokeh when using selective focus.
Overall, the Sony E PZ 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS lens is a versatile, high-performance option for photographers and videographers looking for a compact, all-in-one zoom lens for their APS-C E-mount camera system.
