Sony expands its A-Mount lenses line-up with three new models – Distagon T 24mm F2 ZA SSM (SAL24F20Z), DT 35mm F1.8 SAM (SAL35F18) and the compact portrait telephoto 85mm F2.8 SAM.
The first Distagon T 24mm F2 ZA SSM (SAL24F20Z), functions as a wide-angle 24mm lens on full-frame cameras with 35mm sensors and features the acclaimed Carl Zeiss Distagon design retro-focus lens with all-metal barrel, fast response focus and built-in SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor).
The second DT 35mm F1.8 SAM (SAL35F18), joins the Sony’s ‘Easy Choice’ range, weights just 170g, has an approximately 50mm (35mm equivalent) focal length on an APS-C sensor, presented as “ideal for snapshots and portraits under a wide range of shooting conditions.”
The last is 85mm F2.8 SAM (SAL85F28), weights 175g and is also belonging to Easy Choice’ lens, but offers 85mm focal length, functions as a 127.5mm (35mm equivalent) telephoto lens and features smooth defocusing, SAM motor technology and a Sonnar-type optical design that is considered ideal for mid-range telephoto lenses.
