Its svelte design makes this lens ideal for walkaround, everyday shooting, and the flexible focal length range benefits a wide range of subject types, from street shooting to portraiture to travel photography.

Small and Light

Small size and lightweight design is what this lens is all about, meaning it's the perfect companion for casual shooting days when a single, versatile, and portable lens is most desirable.

• Retractable design maintains an especially compact profile when not in use, measuring just 1.8" long.
• Weighing 5.9 oz, its featherweight stature pairs well with compact full-frame or APS-C bodies.
• Dust- and moisture-resistant design suits working in inclement weather conditions.

Optics and AF

• Three aspherical elements help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
• The use of specialized elements also contributes to a smaller, lighter physical design.
• Linear motor, along with an internal focusing mechanism, promotes fast, precise, and quiet focusing performance to suit both stills and video applications.

• In addition to the variety afforded by the 28-60mm focal length range, this lens also has a versatile 11.8" minimum focusing distance that enables working with close-up subjects.
• Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
