A wide, fast and high-quality lens that accentuates perspective perfectly. Due to the aperture of f/3.5, it is also suitable for indoor use and allows photographers to emphasise the subject. The multiple lens coating reduces light reflection. High image quality is ensured throughout the entire zoom range. The lens has excellent optical properties, perfect mechanical processing and high-quality materials.
Two ELD glass lens elements and one SLD provide excellent correction of colour aberration. Four aspherical lenses correct distortion and provide compact and lightweight construction of the lens. The built-in Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures fast and quiet autofocus with manual focus enabled in the AF mode. This lens is equipped with an internal focusing, so the front element does not rotate when focusing.
