This versatile zoom lens is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a focal length range equivalent to 25.5-105mm. Its bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture ensures consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, providing enhanced control over depth of field.
The optical design includes two molded glass aspherical elements and one hybrid aspherical element, which correct distortion and spherical aberrations to deliver sharpness and precise rendering. Two LD (Low Dispersion) elements effectively reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations across the zoom range, improving clarity and color accuracy.
BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating applied to individual elements suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, resulting in greater contrast and color fidelity, especially in strong lighting conditions.
The RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) autofocus motor ensures quiet, quick, and smooth focusing performance suitable for both stills and video applications. It offers a minimum focusing distance of 7.5 inches and a maximum magnification of 1:4.8 for close-up photography. Full-time manual focus override is supported, compatible with Sony's Direct Manual Focus function or precise manual control.
A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasing bokeh quality. VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization minimizes camera shake for more effective handheld shooting in challenging lighting conditions.
The lens features a moisture-resistant construction for durability in adverse weather, and its front element is fluorine-coated to repel dust, dirt, and smudges, ensuring clear, clean images.
