Explore the full range of Sony 100 system lenses

One of the most useful features of a D-SLR camera is the choice of interchangeable lenses. This means you can choose exactly the right lens to achieve superb results with any scene – from portraits and close-up macro photography to expansive landscapes.

There’s a full range of system lenses to help you get even more out of the 100, spanning ultra wide-angle, macro, fixed focal length, zoom, telephoto and reflex models plus two teleconverters. And remember: since Super SteadyShot is incorporated inside the camera body, you can benefit from superb anti-shake performance, whichever compatible lens you’re using with the 100.

All Sony lenses offer superb imaging quality and geometric accuracy, with specially coated optical surfaces to reduce flare and ghosting, even with tricky into-the-sun shots. If you’re looking for wide apertures and extra-high contrast imaging with reduced chromatic aberration and distortion, Sony G lenses offer premium optics and advanced design features to meet the needs of discerning photographers.

Many Sony 100 system lenses support ADI (Advanced Distance Integration), incorporating a distance encoder that allows extremely precise through-the-lens calculation of subject distance. Combined with pre-flash metering and a sophisticated comparison algorithm, the 100 can ensure correct settings even with high, or low-reflectivity subjects. This means perfectly-exposed results, even with ‘problem’ subjects like night scenes, dark clothes, distant backgrounds or white walls that make conventional flash measurement tricky.
