  • Fluorine coating to repel moisture, dirt, and smudges, ensuring clearer optics and easier cleaning in challenging environments.
  • Weather-sealed construction, making the lens resistant to dust, moisture, and low temperatures, perfect for outdoor and unpredictable shooting conditions.
  • An 11-blade diaphragm, producing a pleasing, smooth bokeh with rounded out-of-focus highlights, enhancing the aesthetic quality of images with selective focus.

Aspherical Optical Design

The lens features an advanced optical design that includes aspherical, extra-low dispersion, and a Super ED element to minimize distortion and chromatic aberrations, ensuring enhanced sharpness and color accuracy across the zoom range. Specifically, three extra-low dispersion elements and the Super ED element significantly reduce color fringing, resulting in high clarity and color fidelity. Additionally, four aspherical elements help control distortion and spherical aberrations, further improving sharpness and overall image rendering. A fluorine coating on the front element protects it by repelling water, oil, and fingerprints.

Linear Motor Quiet Autofocus

The lens is equipped with a Linear Motor autofocus system that provides smooth, near-silent operation, making it faster and more accurate than previous models. This enhancement is particularly advantageous for video applications and in noise-sensitive environments, ensuring that autofocus adjustments do not disrupt the recording. Additionally, the design minimizes focus wobble and reduces the likelihood of subject searching, delivering consistent clarity during crucial takes.

For videographers, the de-clickable aperture ring allows for quiet and precise adjustments, enabling seamless exposure control while filming without introducing distracting clicks. This feature is essential for maintaining smooth transitions in lighting conditions.

The lens features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm that contributes to a pleasing, smooth bokeh effect. This design enhances the aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas, making it ideal for selective focus and shallow depth-of-field techniques. The result is beautifully rendered backgrounds that allow the subject to stand out, elevating the overall visual impact of the images and videos captured.

Weather Sealed Against the Elements

The lens body is designed with comprehensive weather sealing that offers robust protection against dust and moisture, allowing for reliable performance in challenging environmental conditions. This durable construction enables photographers and videographers to confidently use the lens in a variety of settings, including rain, snow, and humid conditions, without fear of damage. 

In addition to its weatherproofing, the lens is built to withstand freezing temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C), making it an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals who often work in harsh climates. Whether you're capturing landscapes in winter or shooting events in unpredictable weather, the lens's weather sealing ensures that you can focus on your creative vision without worrying about the elements. This rugged design not only enhances the lens's longevity but also allows for greater versatility, empowering users to explore their craft in diverse and demanding environments.
