Wide-angle prime
Sonnar T* E 24mm F1.8 ZA SEL24F18Z
Carl Zeiss quality really shows off the capabilities of the E-mount system, with
outstanding resolution and contrast that can add legendary Zeiss depth and
dimensionality to your images. This wide-angle prime lens delivers superior
corner-to-corner sharpness even at the maximum F1.8 maximum aperture,
with minimum distortion and coma. It also focuses as close as 16 centimeters,
providing an unusual combination of close focus and wide-angle perspective
for 1:4 macro photography. The 24mm focal length, equivalent to 36mm on
a 35mm format camera, is an excellent choice for general shooting. Many
photographers will be happy to leave this lens on their camera most of the
time, especially since its F1.8 maximum aperture facilitates handheld shooting
even in challenging low-light situations. Movie makers will love this lens too,
because smooth, low-noise autofocus and aperture operation mean they
can take advantage of its outstanding optical characteristics without worrying
about mechanical noise infiltrating the soundtrack.

E 18–55mm F3.5–5.6 OSS SEL1855
This lens offers a superb balance of form and function: ample zoom
range in a compact design that weighs only 194 grams yet is remarkably
comfortable to hold and operate. The 18–55mm zoom range, corresponding
to 27–82.5mm on a 35mm full-frame format camera, is ideally designed for
comfortable framing and capture of most subjects encountered in daily life
or on vacation, and a built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system
makes it possible to produce sharp images even when shooting handheld
in low light. The OSS system is so effective that you’ll be able to capture
blur-free images at shutter speeds up to four steps slower than would be
possible without image stabilization. And thanks to extremely smooth,
quiet autofocus and aperture operation, you don’t have to worry about
unwanted camera and lens noise infiltrating your movie soundtracks.
