Sony has introduced a new broadcast lens that delivers an industry-leading zoom range. The lens is designed for professional broadcasters and content creators who need high performance in a compact form. It offers a 24x optical zoom with a focal length that spans from 13.5mm to 324mm. This wide range allows users to capture everything from wide-angle shots to detailed close-ups without changing lenses.

The new lens uses advanced optical technology to maintain image quality across the entire zoom range. It features aspherical elements and extra-low dispersion glass to reduce distortion and chromatic aberration. These improvements help deliver sharp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions.
Sony built the lens with a lightweight magnesium alloy body. This makes it easier to handle during long shoots and compatible with a variety of camera setups. The lens also includes built-in image stabilization to minimize shake and ensure smooth footage. Operators can rely on consistent performance whether shooting handheld or on a tripod.
The lens supports fast and quiet autofocus powered by Sony’s latest drive system. It responds quickly to subject movement and works well in live production environments. Manual focus controls are also precise and intuitive for experienced users who prefer direct control.
Integration with Sony’s broadcast cameras is seamless. The lens communicates smoothly with camera systems to support metadata transmission and remote operation. This makes it a practical choice for news crews, sports coverage, and event videography where speed and reliability matter.
