Sony FE PZ 28-135 Zoom
FE PZ 28-135mm F4 G OSS E-mount Power Zoom Lens
This top-quality powered zoom lens for 35mm full-frame format cameras has been created to satisfy professional moviemaking requirements, including the high resolution HD and 4K formats. Focus breathing and zoom image shift have been reduced to an absolute minimum, while aspherical elements and advanced multi-coating technology effectively suppress aberration. An SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) drive system has been employed for precise, quiet zooming. Independent control rings for zoom, focus, and Iris (aperture) are provided for the first time in an α lens. Built-in Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization adds to the extraordinary performance of this outstanding lens.
Precision G-series optical design for HD and 4K moviemaking
The SELP28135G is a powered zoom lens that has been created to satisfy professional optical and operational requirements for both high-quality still and movie imagery, including 4K, when matched with a full-frame format camera such as the α7S or a Super 35 format camcorder such as the PXW-FS7.
No “Breathing”
When making movies you’re frequently focusing while shooting, either with autofocus or manual focus. A lens that has not been designed with movies in mind might exhibit “breathing”, or variations in the angle of view while focusing which can be a jarring distraction. The SELP28135G features an optical design and control technology inherited from Sony’s professional camcorders that ensure no breathing.
No focus shifting or axial displacement while zooming
Zooming is a fundamental moviemaking technique that is used for both practical framing changes as well as creative effect. “Smooth” is the key requirement for video. Any tracking irregularities such as jitter or axial image shifts are unacceptable. The SELP28135G delivers exceptionally smooth tracking throughout the zoom range at any speed and eliminates any axial image shifting. Zooming is quiet as well as responsive thanks to advanced mechanical actuator design.
Independent Zoom, Focus and Iris rings for superior control
Independent control rings for zoom, focus, and iris (aperture) are provided for the first time in an α lens. The focus mode can be switched from auto to manual simply by sliding the focus ring forward so control is maintained at all times. Zoom speed can be precisely controlled over a wide range, with zoom rotation direction reversal capability. All three control rings have been engineered to provide ideal torque for comfortable, responsive operation. Even the pitch of the scalloping on the rings has been painstakingly designed for comfortable, slip-free control.
