Designed to rival the primes, this zoom’s optics have been revamped to provide even greater resolution, clarity, and bokeh quality.

• Bright f/2.8 constant aperture allows users to capture images in dim lighting conditions and with a shallow depth of field.
• Two ED and two Super ED elements effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and color fringing for greater clarity and color fidelity.
• Five aspherical elements, including two extreme aspherical elements (XA), minimize spherical aberrations, distortion, and also reduce ‘onion ring’ bokeh.
• Nano AR Coating II controls flare and ghosting with support from a new optical design that reduces internal reflections.
• An 11-blade aperture diaphragm helps create smooth, circular bokeh at all aperture settings.

Faster focusing performance, improved close-up shooting, and enhanced control are all benefits of the redesigned focusing system.

• Four XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors contribute to greatly improved focusing performance, compared to the DDSSM system of the predecessor, including faster, quieter, and more precise AF that’s ideal for both photo and stills.
• Floating focusing mechanism helps maintain image quality throughout the focusing range, which is especially important considering the impressive close-up performance of this lens: minimum focusing distance of 8.3″ at the 24mm position or 11.8″ at the 70mm position and a maximum magnification of 0.32x at the 70mm position.
• Internal focusing design promotes snappier, more responsive focusing performance and also maintains the overall lens length during operation.

Compact, Lightweight, and Robust Design

Among the smallest and lightest f/2.8 standard zooms available, this lens doesn’t lose sight of its professional attributes and also remains a weather-sealed, durable lens for use in trying working conditions.

• Approximately 22% lighter and 18% smaller than its predecessor, this zoom is a highly portable and versatile option for a huge variety of shooting applications.
• Now fit with a manual aperture ring, tactile exposure control is possible. This ring can be de-clicked for smooth and silent iris pulls or it can be locked in the ‘A’ position for camera-based aperture switching.
• Two programmable focus hold buttons and a focus mode switch for intuitive focus control.
• Zoom smoothness switch for changing between Smooth and Tight zoom ring torque.
• Hybrid construction uses both metal and plastic components to maximize both durability and a low weight design.
• Dust- and moisture-resistant design includes rubber gaskets at each seam and a rubber ring sealing the lens mount for ensured use when working in inclement weather conditions.
• Front lens element has a fluorine coating that repels water, oil, and other contaminants .
• Included lens hood features a locking button and a filter window for easier adjustment of rotating filters
