Product Description
- Smallest and lightest standard zoom for crop-sensor mirrorless cameras (as of Oct. 2021).
- Versatile focal range and excellent optical performance make it a great choice for a wide variety of uses, including travel, daily shooting, food photography, landscapes, vlogging, etc.
- 3 high-precision glass-molded aspherical elements -- coupled with the minimization of the total number of elements -- provide superb optical quality without excessive weight.
- In-camera aberration correction further eliminates optical imperfections such as distortion and vignetting.
- Thermally Stable Composite (polycarbonate with thermal characteristics similar to aluminum) barrel construction, with slim internal metal parts, offer light weight and functional strength.
- 7 rounded aperture blades offer smooth background blur (bokeh).
- Stepping motor provides swift, accurate and quiet autofocus for both still and video shooting.
- Measured from the sensor, it achieves a minimum focusing distance of 4.76 inches (12.1cm) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8 at the wide end.
- Working distance of just over an inch (2.7cm) from the front element at 18mm.
NOTE: We recommend removing the lens hood for this style of ultra-close capture and to be mindful about not touching the front element to the subject. - Includes a petal-type hood to reduce ghosts and flaring, while protecting the front lens element.
- High-precision, durable brass bayonet mount with dust and splash-resistant structure.
- Made in Japan
