Silent, high-speed AF drive via SAM
The Auto Focus drive in the SAL is smooth and quiet thanks to its SAM (Smooth Autofocus
Motor), which also helps improves AF response when shooting moving subjects. Reductions in
drive noise also make the SAL-18135 quieter than other entry-level model lenses in the line-up.
