Ultra-Bright Images
At fully open f/1.8 aperture (the best in its class), this high-performance 135mm lens creates amazingly bright telephoto images.

Superb Sharpness
In conjunction with the Super SteadyShot image stabilization system of the Sony ± (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this lens gives you excellent results even working with hand-held camera by available light.

Close-up Focusing
You can capture professional-quality images of both faraway scenes and objects closer than three feet.

Internal Focusing System
Internal lens elements move to increase auto-focus speed to help you catch quick action.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Two ED Glass lenses minimize flare and greatly reduce chromatic aberration, giving you sharp, clear telephoto shots.
