Covering a focal-length range of 18 to 140 mm*, it is convenient for capturing a wide variety of subjects, from landscapes to portraits, for both stills and videos.

* Angle of view is equivalent to that of a 27-210 mm lens in FX/35mm format.

A compact and lightweight body with a total length of approx. 90 mm and weight of approx. 315 g.

The short minimum focus distance of 0.2 m/0.66 ft at the maximum wide-angle position is ideal for close-up shots.

The maximum reproduction ratio of 0.33x at the maximum telephoto position enables rendering of subjects in large size.

Equipped with an optical vibration reduction (VR) mechanism that provides camera shake compensation equivalent to a 5.0-stop* increase in shutter speed.

* Based on CIPA Standard. This value is achieved when attached to a DX-format camera with the camera's VR function set to "NORMAL", and when zoom is set to the maximum telephoto position.

High resolution is achieved consistently across the entire zoom range, from maximum aperture.

Outstanding movie performance is attained via the adoption of a variety of features such as quiet operation, focus-breathing reduction and superior subject tracking.

Selected functions can be assigned to the control ring for comfortable shooting of stills and videos.

Fast, precise and quiet AF operation is attained with the employment of an STM (stepping motor).

Designed with consideration for dust- and drip-resistant performance*, enabling users to take it anywhere with greater confidence.

* Thorough dust- and drip-resistance is not guaranteed in all situations or under all conditions.
