This telephoto-zoom lens is ideal for sports, portraiture, animals, etc. The telephoto effect can make the picture look compressed or have excellent background blur.
This "J" type lens is a compact, light-weight lens that was designed to match the smaller size of the *ist series and ZX-60 cameras. One of the ways the smaller size was made possible was by removing the aperture ring control from the lens. All aperture changes can be done directly on the camera.
Note: This lens is not compatible with some of the older PZ series cameras, or with manual exposure camera models.
