About the Product

The SELP28135G features a robust optical construction (18 elements in 12 groups) designed to meet G lens standards for high resolution. The lens maintains a constant F4 aperture, essential for stable exposure and reliable depth of field control during zooming.

This lens is engineered with Sony’s Smooth Motion Optics (SMO) design to minimize focus breathing and axial shift, ensuring professional consistency when racking focus or zooming. The Power Zoom is electronically controlled, providing incredibly smooth and quiet operation, vital for high-quality audio recording. It includes separate rings for focus, zoom, and iris (aperture) for granular manual control.

Key Features

• Quiet Motorized Zoom allows for silent, seamless transitions in video recording.

Faqs:

Why is a quiet motorized zoom essential for video recording?

A quiet motorized zoom is critical because the microphones on or near the camera can easily pick up the mechanical noise of a standard zoom lens. The PZ (Power Zoom) mechanism ensures that all zoom movements are silent, providing clean audio for interviews, documentaries, and cinematic scenes.

What is the benefit of having three independent control rings on this lens?

The three independent rings for Focus, Zoom, and Iris (Aperture) are standard features on cinema lenses. They allow the operator to adjust any of these parameters without accidentally interfering with the others, which is vital for precise focus pulls and smooth adjustments during a live video take.

How does the F4 constant aperture perform for low-light video?

While an F2.8 lens is brighter, the constant F4 aperture on the 28-135mm is highly manageable, especially with the excellent low-light performance and IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) of modern full-frame Sony bodies. The stability of the exposure during zooming often outweighs the need for an extra stop of light, ensuring consistency throughout the shot.

Why is the filter diameter so large (95mm)?

The large 95mm filter diameter is necessary due to the advanced optical complexity required to maintain high image quality, a constant aperture, and the SMO mechanisms across the full-frame sensor and the extensive zoom range. This size is common for professional video lenses.

How does the inclusion of OSS benefit a lens that is often tripod-mounted?

While often tripod-mounted, this lens is also used heavily on camera stabilizers (gimbals) and for handheld documentary work. The built-in OSS provides crucial stabilization in these situations, effectively smoothing out walking movement and reducing micro-vibrations for better overall footage quality.
