Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS Lens

Sony E 10-18mm f4 OSS E-Mount Lens

Overview

The Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS lens expands the Sony E-mount lens system and is designed for APS-C compact system cameras. This super wide-angle zoom lens is ideal for capturing dynamic landscapes, group shots, cityscapes, and general photography. With a constant f/4 maximum aperture, Super ED glass for minimal distortion, and Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, this lens ensures sharp, high-quality images even in low-light conditions.

Key Features

Super Wide-Angle Zoom

• Focal Length Range: 10-18mm (15-27mm 35mm equivalent), providing an expansive field of view for dynamic shots.
• Constant f/4 Maximum Aperture: Maintains consistent performance throughout the zoom range, allowing for fast shutter speeds and lower ISO in low-light environments.

Optical Excellence

• Super ED Glass: Minimizes distortion and chromatic aberrations for sharper, clearer images.
• Three Aspherical Elements: Correct for spherical aberration and distortion, ensuring high contrast and quality across the entire image.

Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization

Built-in Optical SteadyShot provides a 4-stop shutter speed advantage, significantly reducing blur from camera shake, making it easier to achieve crisp, blur-free images and video.

Silent and Responsive Autofocus

• Super Sonic Wave Motor (SSWM): Enables quiet, fast, and responsive autofocus, ideal for both stills and video.
• Internal Focusing System: Ensures rapid autofocus response by moving the lens elements at the rear of the optical system.

Circular Aperture

The 7-blade circular aperture design provides a pleasing bokeh effect, making out-of-focus light sources appear more natural and rounded.

10-18mm Super Wide-Angle Zoom Lens

The Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS lens offers a minimum focal length of 10mm (15mm in 35mm equivalent), allowing for finely detailed, super wide-angle photos. This is ideal for capturing majestic landscapes and creating striking images with emphasized perspectives. The constant maximum aperture of f/4 ensures consistent performance, even in low-light environments, enabling the use of faster shutter speeds without unnecessarily raising ISO sensitivity.

Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ Image Stabilization

The Optical SteadyShot system provides a significant advantage in achieving sharp, blur-free images and video, especially in handheld shooting situations. This built-in stabilization system is crucial for maintaining image quality in low-light conditions.

Superb Image Capturing Capability

The optical design includes three aspherical elements and Super Extra-low Dispersion glass, which correct for spherical aberration and distortion. This results in high-contrast, high-quality images with reduced color aberration, even at the 10mm focal length. The lens is designed to deliver detailed, vibrant photos with minimal bleeding, even at the maximum aperture.
