Frequently Bought Together
Recently Viewed
Is the Sony 28–75 mm F2.8 SAM (SAL2875) compatible with full-frame cameras?
Yes, the SAL2875 is designed for 35mm full-frame A-mount cameras and gives superb results with DSLR cameras using a full-frame sensor. It can also be used on APS-C bodies, where it provides a narrower field of view equivalent to roughly 42–112.5mm.
What focal length and aperture does the SAL2875 offer?
The SAL2875 is a standard zoom covering 28–75mm, from wide angle to medium telephoto. It features a bright, constant F2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, which is useful for low light and shallow depth of field.
What autofocus system does the Sony 28–75 mm F2.8 SAM use?
The lens includes a built-in Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) for smooth AF operation, providing in-lens autofocus drive rather than relying on a screw-drive from the camera body. It also features internal focusing, so the front element does not rotate during focusing.
Does the SAL2875 have built-in image stabilization?
No, the SAL2875 does not include optical stabilization in the lens. It is designed to be used with A-mount bodies that feature SteadyShot INSIDE (in-body stabilization).
What filter size does the Sony 28–75 mm F2.8 SAM lens use?
The SAL2875 uses a 67mm filter thread. Because the front element does not rotate during focusing, it is convenient for use with polarizers and graduated filters.
How close can the SAL2875 focus?
The lens has a closest focus distance of 0.38 m (1.3 ft) and a maximum magnification of 0.22× (1:4.5). This makes it suitable for close-ups, though it is not a true macro lens.
Is the SAL2875 a good general-purpose lens?
Yes, its versatile 28–75mm range makes it well suited for events, travel, portraits, and everyday shooting. A 16-element, 14-group construction with 4 aspherical and 3 ED elements helps reduce distortion and chromatic aberration for improved contrast and color.
Should I consider the SAL2875 as my main A-mount zoom lens?
It balances well on mid-sized and larger A-mount bodies thanks to its moderate size and weight for an F2.8 zoom. Consider whether the 28mm wide end is sufficient for your style, as photographers who often need very wide-angle views may prefer pairing it with a dedicated wide-angle lens.
How much does the Sony 28–75 mm F2.8 SAM (SAL2875) cost?
MSRP is listed as $899.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
Is the SAL2875 compatible with Sony teleconverters?
No, the SAL2875 is not compatible with Sony teleconverters (1.4× or 2.0×). It also does not support Direct Manual Focus (DMF) while in AF mode.
