From wide-angles, macros and telephotos to zooms and teleconverters
A wide range of interchangeable lenses to expand your creative possibilities
Explore the full range of Sony 100
system lenses
One of the most useful features of a D-SLR
camera is the choice of interchangeable lenses.
This means you can choose exactly the right lens
to achieve superb results with any scene – from
portraits and close-up macro photography to
expansive landscapes.
There’s a full range of system lenses to help
you get even more out of the 100, spanning
ultra wide-angle, macro, fixed focal length, zoom,
telephoto and reflex models plus two
teleconverters. And remember: since Super
SteadyShot is incorporated inside the camera
body, you can benefit from superb anti-shake
performance, whichever compatible lens you’re
using with the 100.
All Sony lenses offer superb imaging quality and
geometric accuracy, with specially coated optical
surfaces to reduce flare and ghosting, even with
tricky into-the-sun shots. If you’re looking for
wide apertures and extra-high contrast imaging
with reduced chromatic aberration and distortion,
Sony G lenses offer premium optics and
advanced design features to meet the needs of
discerning photographers.
Whichever system lens you choose, you can
be assured of the highest quality optical
performance and reliability… for exquisite results
that perfectly realise your creative vision.
Lenses by Carl Zeiss
There’s only one choice when
there can be absolutely no
compromise on performance or
reliability. Drawing on 150 years
of experience in producing
optical instruments of the highest
precision and quality, Carl Zeiss
Planar, Sonnar and Vario-Sonnar
lenses are designed and
constructed to the most rigorous
optical and mechanical
standards. The result? Beautifully
engineered lenses that capture
the emotion and atmosphere of
any moment with unparalleled
quality and fidelity.
ADI metering for precise flash measurement
Many Sony 100 system lenses support ADI (Advanced Distance
Integration), incorporating a distance encoder that allows extremely
precise through-the-lens calculation of subject distance. Combined with
pre-flash metering and a sophisticated comparison algorithm, the 100
can ensure correct settings even with high, or low-reflectivity subjects.
This means perfectly-exposed results, even with ‘problem’ subjects like
night scenes, dark clothes, distant backgrounds or white walls that make
conventional flash measurement tricky.
