Product details

Capture sharp, blur-free images. The lens's built-in optical SteadyShot image stabilization ensures razor-sharp, blur-free photos and videos for hand-held shooting.
Instead of a standard polygonal aperture, this lens features a circular aperture with 7 lamellas for a natural, soft bokeh. Aspherical lens elements provide minimal distortion, while extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements ensure outstanding contrast, resolution and color depth. Internal focusing ensures that the lens cylinder does not move, enabling a more compact design, faster autofocus response and smaller minimum focusing distances.

Stiftung WarentestReleaseMarch 2016

Das Objektiv kann sich durch zahlreiche positive Aspekte auszeichnen und wird am Ende völlig zu Recht mit einer guten Gesamtwertung belohnt. Die Bildqualität gibt kaum Gründe für Kritik und kann sich im Gegenteil durch seine kaum auszumachende Verzeichnung und die sehr gute Helligkeitsverteilung auszeichnen...

Das sehr gut verarbeitete Objektiv schießt gute Fotos und ist dabei sehr gut ausgestattet. Videos gelingen mit ihr in exzellenter Form und Qualität, sodass hier Filmer besonderen Spaß haben dürften.
