World's smallest and lightest1 full-frame zoom lens

World's smallest and lightest1 full-frame zoom lens

Mechanical design including the retracting structure, and optimal optical design with three aspherical elements, deliver world-leading1 compactness and lightness (5.9 oz, 167 g). Mounted on a compact E-mount body, it's the ideal lens for full-frame high-image-quality shooting of a wide variety of scenes that require portability, from everyday snaps to travel and vlogging.
Standard zoom designed for full-frame high resolution

Standard zoom designed for full-frame high resolution

The deployment of three aspherical lenses effectively suppresses a variety of aberrations, delivering superb optical performance. This allows users to enjoy the high resolution depiction that is characteristic of full-frame, from the center of the image right out to the periphery, despite the compactness and light weight of the lens.
Ideal focal length and close-up capability

Ideal focal length and close-up capability

With a versatile and frequently used focal length of 28–60 mm, this lens is well-suited to a variety of everyday subjects. In addition, a minimum focus distance of 0.98 ft (wide-angle) to 1.48 ft (telephoto) ensures good close-up capability, making it useful for situations from table photography to vlogging, all with the high image quality of full-frame.
Dust and moisture-resistant design2

Dust and moisture-resistant design2

Despite its compact size and light weight, a dust- and moisture-resistant design2 provides the reliability needed for active outdoor use.
7-blade circular aperture

7-blade circular aperture

The seven-blade circular design keeps the aperture almost circular. This makes it possible to achieve smoother, more natural defocusing in your images-including artistic blurring or bokeh-and greater control over the depth of field.
Linear motor drive for excellent AF performance

Linear motor drive for excellent AF performance

A linear AF drive motor provides the fast and accurate AF performance required by the latest full-frame cameras. The quietness of the drive makes it well-suited to both still and movie shooting, while the speed and precision ensure maximum performance from camera AF functions such as Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF.
