Containing 17 elements (including a UD-glass element) in 12 groups, the lens captures an angle-of-view (AOV) range of about 84° to 18°, for capturing wide landscapes and telephoto portraits.
The lens features a minimum focusing distance of 1.15' and image stabilization for up to 4-stops of shake-control when shooting under lower lighting conditions. An Ultra Sonic Motor (USM) offers fast, quiet autofocus performance.
