The SAL-70400G incorporates 18 elements in 12 groups for high optical precision from the center of
the image all the way to the corners.
Internal Focusing.
Focus is accomplished by moving an internal element group, so focus is faster.
Circular Aperture.
Because the aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-
light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect. The lens features nine aperture blades.
Auto Clutch.
For reliable operation, the manual focus ring does not rotate in auto-focus mode.
Works with Optional Teleconverters.
Compatible with optional Sony SAL14TC (1.4x) which extends focal length to 560mm (35mm
equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 840mm) and SAL20TC (2.0x) teleconverters which
extends focal length to 800mm (35mm equivalent when used with APS-C format cameras: 1200mm).
Teleconverters are compatible with manual focus only.
