Features
Ready for any shooting situation
All-purpose zoom lens covers the range of focal lengths from wide-angle 18mm to standard 55mm (27-82.5mm in 35mm format)
Clean, crisp image quality
High performance optical design includes two aspherical elements and one ED glass element to correct for optical aberrations
No more ghost or flare
The shape of the rear lens element shade suppresses internal reflections, helping eliminate image flare or ghost
Experiment with defocus or ‘bokeh’ effects
A round aperture lets you get creative with the out-of-focus elements of your pictures, such as twinkling lights in the background
Smooth zooming and autofocus
Thanks to the Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM) and a more comfortable zoom mechanism, framing your shots is easy and unobtrusive
Get up close without losing image quality
A close focus distance of 0.25m and maximum magnification of 0.34x at the minimum focal length is great for short-range shots
