Lighter, smaller, faster - true telephoto freedom for full-frame mirrorless Sony cameras. Most compact f/2.8 in its class. All-new VXD linear motor provides fast and precise autofocus. Innovative features unleash creativity.
70-180mm VXD: fast-handing telephoto zoom lens with f/2.8 aperture
The 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A056) is a large-aperture telephoto zoom lens with outstanding performance and fast f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range. Thanks to the generous use of special lens elements it achieves excellent image quality. The short MOD of 0.85m also broadens the possibilities for photographic expression. The newly developed the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a linear motor focus mechanism, delivers excellent quietness and agile performance, for the highest level of autofocusing speed and precision. A floating system is used to achieve excellent optical performance at all shooting distances. By simultaneously operating two VXD units via electronic control, the system produces clear, sharp images of all objects near and far. Moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating facilitate outdoor shooting.
