Packing all-in-one convenience and super-telephoto reach into a lightweight package, it’s the super zoom that goes the distance. A vast 14.2x zoom range. Rock-steady image stabilization. Fast, accurate autofocus. All in an easy-to-carry, fun-to-shoot lens that’s ideal for sports, theme parks, travel, wildlife, or anywhere the unexpected is expected.
Covers a broad range of focal lengths—from 28mm to 400mm, with a 14.2x zoom.
A minimum focus distance of 0.2 m at the maximum wide-angle position and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.35x at 28mm allows users to get closer to their subjects for dynamic expression. A total length of approx. 5.57 in. (141.5 mm) and a weight of approx. 1.6 lbs (725 g)—the lightest lens in its class—make this an easy lens to carry and shoot hand-held. Stable VR performance equivalent to a 5.0-stop* increase in shutter speed effectively reduces blurring in dimly lit surroundings and with hand-held shooting. When paired with a compatible camera, Synchro VR can be activated to achieve up to 5.5-stop stabilization** by combining in-camera VR and lens VR. Support for linear MF drive enables smooth focusing, which is especially useful for video shooting.
