Features

Fast f/2.8 lenses

The standard aperture of f/2.8 delivers excellent low-light performance and allows faster shutter speeds to stop motion.

Versatile focal range

The 16-50 mm (equivalent to 24-75 mm in FX format) is ideal for portraits, landscapes, architecture and street photography.

High quality drawing and beautiful bokeh

The large f/2.8 aperture creates a soft background and foreground blur, while when dimmed the lens produces a sharp edge-to-edge image.

Short closest focusing distance

Only 0.15 m in 16 mm and 0.25 m in 50 mm - for great close-ups without losing sharpness.

Powerful image stabilisation

The lens includes a lens shift VR image stabilizer, which provides up to 5 apertures of stability for handheld photography and video.

Optimised for video

Fast and virtually silent autofocus, reduced focus breathing and a quiet control ring for adjusting key settings.

Hi-Res Zoom

In video, double the focal length without compromising image quality - you can reach up to 100 mm without changing lenses.

Compact and lightweight

Weighing just 330g and with a weatherproof design, this is the ideal travel companion for field photography.

New HB-118 backlight protector

Included in the package - reduces stray light and prevents reflections.
