Fast and accurate Auto Focus

• The lens adopts the inner focus method, which drives a compact and lightweight group of focus lenses with a linear motor. In addition, the high-speed and high-precision autofocus system, achieved through the miniaturisation of the focus lens group, ensures that you capture the decisive moments within approximately 0.015 seconds*4.

Practical use with weather resistant structure

• It includes a weather resistant and low-temperature (-10C) design with weather-sealing applied to 13 areas of the lens barrel. You can use it with peace of mind in a wide range ofshooting situations, from shooting in environments with light rain or dust, to capturing landscapes in snowy fields or by the seaside.
