Sony 500mm lens - Auto focus and Aberration
It’s the world’s only super telephoto reflex lens with auto-focus capability, making it ideal for wildlife assignments where events happen fast and you must react quickly to catch the shot. Reflective optics eliminates the chromatic aberrations that can affect image quality in refractive telephoto lenses, so images are extremely sharp and clear. For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing. At fixed f/8 aperture, the exposure is controlled by varying the camera shutter speed and using a neutral-density snap-on filter.
