The ideal everyday standard zoom lens.
Image Stabilizer
A three-stop Image Stabilizer enables hand-held shooting in low light conditions, even at the telephoto end of the zoom scale. Handy for taking pictures when the use of a flash or tripod is not allowed.
Ultrasonic focusing
A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.
Super Spectra coating
Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.
