Large-Aperture Standard Zoom Lens with Superior Imaging Performance
Large-Aperture Standard Zoom Lens with Superior Imaging Performance
Capable of shooting at a bright F2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, from wide-angle 16mm to mid-telephoto 55mm.
Featuring an 11-group, 16-element configuration that includes 4 aspherical lenses, 1 Super ED lens, and 3 ED lenses.
This design maintains high-resolution from the center to the edges while minimizing chromatic aberrations, even with a large aperture.
Enhanced ultra-precision manufacturing technology of aspherical lenses reduces ring patterns compared to previous models, resulting in smoother, more beautiful bokeh.
Achieving a minimum focusing distance of 0.3m across the entire zoom range, allowing for close-up photography with a maximum magnification of 0.21x
Compact and Lightweight Design for Enhanced Mobility
Utilizing the latest lens processing technologies, the lens elements have been made thinner. This results in a reduction of the total lens length by approximately 11mm and a volumetric reduction by approximately 37.8% compared to the previous model. The weight has also been reduced by approximately 37.4% to about 410g, ensuring excellent mobility.
Features a dust-resistant, weather-resistant, and low-temperature-resistant construction with 12 sealing points throughout the lens body, along with a fluorine coating on the front element for superior water and smudge resistance.
Enhanced Design for Video Recording
The introduction of the "Aperture Click Switch" allows users to toggle between a stepped aperture control for still photography and a smooth, continuous aperture control for video recording, ensuring seamless and intuitive operation.
Minimizes focus breathing to provide more consistent framing during focusing.
High-Speed, High-Precision AF with Quiet Operation
The adoption of an inner focusing system and lightweight focusing lens elements, combined with a high-speed linear motor, enables rapid and precise autofocus, achieving speeds as fast as 0.02 seconds. This ensures that users can capture decisive moments effortlessly.
