Highlights

• AF performance that maximizes the speed advantages of advanced bodies
• Movie features refined for visual creators
• The smallest and lightest in its class* for unequalled mobility
• Superior control and reliability in any environment
• Excellent contrast at high spatial frequencies means superb resolution even at F2.8. Two high-precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements, two ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass elements, two Super ED glass elements and a floating focus mechanism control aberration, for sharp, clear images at all zoom and aperture settings
• Nano AR Coating II technology produces a uniform anti-reflection coating on lens surfaces, effectively subduing flare and ghosting. The lens’s design suppresses internal reflections that can reduce clarity when shooting landscapes, sports and a variety of other subjects
• Beautiful F2.8 bokeh extends throughout the zoom range thanks to advanced optics and a new 11-blade aperture unit
• Bokeh is enhanced by precise control of spherical aberration during both design and manufacture. Two precision XA elements suppress onion ring bokeh, while ED glass elements prevent colour bleeding for natural-looking circular bokeh
