Telephoto zoom
E 55–210mm F 4.5–6.3 OSS SEL55210
An ideal complement to the 18-55mm zoom range of the SEL1855, this
3.8x zoom lens takes you from 55mm out to 210mm with consistently
outstanding optical performance all the way. In 35mm full-frame
equivalent terms that’s a wide zoom range of 82.5mm to 315mm,
providing plenty of reach for outdoor sports or nature photography.
Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization is a huge
advantage when shooting at longer focal lengths or in low light,
making it easy to capture crisp, stable images at up to four shutter
speeds lower than would normally be possible. And if you shoot movies
as well as stills, the built in motor contributes to quiet yet responsive
autofocus and aperture operation that keep your movie soundtrack
free from mechanical noise.

High magnification zoom
E 18–200mm F3.5–6.3 OSS LE SEL18200LE
Significantly smaller and lighter than comparable lenses, the Sony
SEL18200LE high magnification zoom lens is perfect for a wide range of
shooting situations. With a compact size achieved in part by downsizing
the autofocus motor and optical image stabilization unit, this lens offers a
powerful mix of versatility and image quality perfect for shooting scenarios
where a light, compact camera and lens combination is optimal. The
broad focal length coverage of the lens—from 18mm wide angle to
200mm telephoto (27mm to 300mm in 35mm equivalence)—makes it an
ideal high-magnification “travel” lens for a wide range of shots. Capture
expansive landscapes, charming portraits with pleasantly blurred
backgrounds, even sports and nature shots. Optical SteadyShot (OSS)
technology cuts down on blur caused by camera shake and reduces
reliance on high ISO settings when shooting in dark environments.
