Covering a versatile array of wide-angle focal lengths, this
is a flexible zoom ideal for landscape, cityscape, and interior
photography. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture maintains consistent
illumination throughout the zoom range and suits working in a variety of
lighting conditions. The optical design contains three aspherical
elements and two extra-low dispersion elements, which greatly reduce
distortion and aberrations for a high degree of sharpness, clarity, and
accurate rendering. A Nano Crystal Coat has also been applied to control
flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy in harsh
lighting and backlit conditions. Additionally, this lens also sports a
Silent Wave Motor for fast and accurate autofocus along with VR II image
stabilization to minimize the appearance of camera shake by 2.5 stops.
