Sony E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens with Vanguard Alta Pro 264TBH Tripod Kit

After extensive research and development, Sony presents the E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens, a high-quality, advanced, and durable camera lens designed for professional photographers. This lens is part of a comprehensive bundle that also includes the Vanguard Alta Pro 264TBH Tripod, TBH-100 Head, a cleaning kit, and a cleaning cloth. This innovative lens, weighing just 494g, offers a standard zoom range of 16-55mm (24-82.5 mm full-frame equivalent). It boasts a premium G Lens optical design, featuring two Advanced Aspherical and two Aspherical elements that effectively suppress aberration. The lens also incorporates three ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements and a Nano AR coating to minimize reflections, flare, and ghosting, ensuring crisp, clear images in any lighting condition. The lens's f/2.8 maximum aperture maintains exposure and depth of field, allowing photographers to isolate subjects from the foreground and background with remarkable light gathering capabilities. This feature also enhances the 'bokeh' effect of the blurred background, making your subject stand out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background. The E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens also features a 9-blade circular aperture that contributes to the gorgeous bokeh effect. This unique design keeps the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops, resulting in smoother, more natural defocusing. The lens is equipped with Sony's advanced XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motor technology, ensuring fast, precise, and quiet autofocus and tracking, even for fast-moving subjects. This feature, combined with the lens's three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, maximizes resolution and bokeh while leaving precisely rendered edges with no fringing or unnatural coloration. The lens also features a focus hold button that can be programmed for multiple functions, including Eye AF, AF On, Aperture Preview, Shot Result Preview, or Bright Monitoring. This versatility, along with the lens's instant auto/manual focus selection, makes it a reliable tool for both professional photographers and videography enthusiasts. Designed for robust reliability, the lens is dust and moisture resistant, making it suitable for heavy-duty outdoor use. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants, while also making it easier to clean. Finally, the lens offers unique close-up shooting capabilities, with a minimum focusing distance of 13" (0.33m) and a maximum magnification of 0.2x, allowing for dramatic perspectives and beautiful background bokeh. In summary, the E 16-55mm f/2.8 G Lens bundle is a versatile, high-quality, and advanced solution for all your photography needs.
