Overview

The perfect standard zoom for everyday works of art

This compact full-frame F2.8 standard zoom lens is an excellent match for -series bodies, with advanced lens technology ensuring that body performance is fully realized. 2450 mm is an ideal range for everyday use. Outstanding G LensTM resolution and bokeh are available at all focal lengths, and precision AF means fast, sharp focus. Great for shooting stills and movies anywhere.

Sharp and detailed at all focal lengths

Four aspherical elements and two ED (Extra low Dispersion) elements deliver high resolution throughout the 2450 mm zoom range. Flare, ghosting, and colour bleeding are subdued for clear rendering, while F2.8 and an 11-blade circular aperture unit can create stunning G Lens bokeh. Maximum magnification is 0.3x (AF)/0.33x (MF) with a minimum focus distance of 0.19 m (0.63 ft) (AF)/0.18 m (0.59 ft) (MF) at the wide end for stunning close-ups.

AF that brings out the best in high-performance bodies

Two specially optimized linear motors and a precision control system acquire focus on any subject with remarkable speed and accuracy. Tracking performance is also excellent and fully capable of keeping up even with Sonys advanced model 9 III body at up to 120fps1. Precise, quiet focus is smoothly acquired and maintained even when shooting high frame rate 4K 120p or FHD 240p movies2.

A compact F2.8 zoom that is ready to go anywhere

With four aspherical elements and a large F2.8 maximum aperture in an optical design that delivers outstanding imaging performance, this innovative lens is no more than 3 in in diameter by 3-3/4 in in length (74.8 mm x 92.3 mm). The use of engineering plastics for some components enhances durability while reducing weight to just 15.6 oz (440 grams) for agile mobility and minimum stress during long shooting sessions.

Constant F2.8 in a mobile zoom is great for movies

Precise, quiet AF and an F2.8 aperture in a compact, lightweight zoom can be an advantage for movies. Minimal centre of gravity shift makes this lens a good choice for gimbal or drone mounting. And combined with in-body Active Mode stabilisation3 it can deliver stable handheld footage at wide angles while walking around. It also supports body breathing compensation4 and metadata recording.

Comprehensive control in a compact lens

Focus, zoom, and aperture rings provide comprehensive control. The aperture ring features switchable click stops. A customizable focus hold button and AF/MF switch are also provided. Linear Response MF ensures immediate, intuitive manual focus control. A dust- and moisture-resistant design maximizes reliability in challenging outdoor conditions5, and the front element features a fluorine coating. Filter diameter is 67 mm.
