The nine-blade, circular iris is especially useful in controlling background defocusing in portrait and landscape images. Combined with Sony\u2019s in-camera Super SteadyShot\u00ae system, this lens is the only compatible large aperture standard zoom with the benefit of image stabilization available in the industry.Quick and precise focusing is delivered by Sony\u2019s Super Sonic wave Motor (SSM) technology. This SSM system utilizes a solid-state focus drive motor that features silent, high-speed response with high-torque and fine rotational control \u2013 especially important for large, wide aperture lenses. A mode selector for manual and automatic focus as well as a focus hold control is provided on the lens barrel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Co-developed with Carl Zeiss, the SAL2470Z model is a wide angle 24-70mm zoom lens with a large f\/2.8 aperture, ideally suited for discerning landscape and portrait photography.
