Features

Enhanced Optical Performance
The lens boasts improved resolution throughout the zoom range, with high sharpness from the maximum aperture. The inclusion of 6 FLD, 2 SLD, and 5 aspherical lens elements ensures minimal aberrations and high image quality across the entire frame.

High-Precision Aspherical Lenses
With 5 high-precision aspherical lenses, the lens achieves a compact design without compromising on optical performance. These lenses, crafted with ultra-high-precision aspherical molding technology, are essential for minimizing aberrations and maintaining high resolution.

Close-Up Capability
The lens offers excellent close-up performance with a minimum focusing distance of 17cm at the wide end, enabling a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7. This feature is particularly useful for close-up shots or in tight spaces where distance is limited.

Flare and Ghosting Suppression
Advanced coatings, including Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-layer Coating, are applied to minimize flare and ghosting. These features ensure that the lens delivers rich, high-contrast images even in challenging lighting conditions.

Minimal Focus Breathing
Designed to minimize focus breathing, the lens maintains a consistent angle-of-view during focus shifts, which is particularly beneficial for video recording, ensuring natural-looking focus transitions.

Improved Portability and Usability
The new model is approximately 7% smaller and 10% lighter than its predecessor, making it more portable without sacrificing build quality. An aperture ring and two AFL buttons have been added, enhancing usability for various shooting styles.

High-Speed Autofocus with HLA
Incorporating the High-response Linear Actuator (HLA), the lens offers high-speed autofocus that is more than three times faster than the previous model, providing responsive and accurate focusing.

Robust Build with Weather Resistance
The lens features a dust and splash resistant structure, along with a water and oil repellent coating on the front element. A zoom lock switch and a petal-shaped hood with a locking mechanism are also included, ensuring the lens is reliable and durable in various shooting conditions.
