When combined with a compact, lightweight full-frame/APS-C mirrorless camera, it allows photographers to capture virtually every scene they encounter in daily use, travel, sports and nature.

The AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit to deliver high-speed, high-precision performance. The lens also features Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating for added protection.

Specs
Will this lense be good for indoor volleyball?I'm thinking of pairing this lens with an a6000. Will I be able to stop the action and reduce blurs at the a6000s 11 fps rate? Is the f rating good enough to stop the ball in mid-air with no blurring?
Answered by SonyListensHi Co_Dad, Yes. This lens will be able to zoom on your subject very well which is good for sports. Since the amount of light will be limited on indoor sports, to avoid blurry picture you just need to set the ISO to a higher value to compensate with a faster shutter speed. -Anthony
