This highly versatile lens can be zoomed from ultra wide angle to telephoto in a split second and will enable you to compose and capture the most demanding of subjects from a static position. 

The lens offers a large aperture of f/2.8 at 24mm. It performs superbly even in relatively low light conditions indoors or at dusk. The large aperture helps eliminate blurred images due to camera shake. 

The Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass element and two Aspherical Lenses provide a high level of optical performance and excellent correction of all types of aberration, while making very compact and lightweight construction possible. 

The inner focus system provides high performance throughout the zoom range. As the front of the lens does not rotate, polarizing filters and Petal-type hoods can easily be used.
