Compact and lightweight with 3.6x zoom
The DT 55-200mm F4.5-5.6 SAM is a 3.6x telephoto zoom lens designed specifically for use with α DSLRs that have an APS-C type sensor. It is exceptionally light and compact and very easy to handle and carry.
High telephoto power 55-200mm zoom
Wide-ranging 55-200mm zoom coverage enables this lens to be used for portraits and landscapes, as well as dramatic telephoto close-ups of sports action, wildlife, and other subjects that are hard to get close to.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element for superior imaging with minimal color aberration
An ED glass element is incorporated into the lens optics to assure clear, sharp imaging, with reduced color aberration even at high-power telephoto settings. In addition, a circular aperture mechanism is used to assure smoother, more beautiful background defocusing.
Developed Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) for smooth AF operation
The DT 55-200mm F4.5-5.6 SAM's focusing lens group is driven by a Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) in the lens itself, instead of a motor in the camera body. Responding instantly to AF drive control signals from the camera, the motor delivers power with smoothness and precision.
