Fast, tenacious autofocus

An optimal combination of double linear motor and DDSSM (Direct Drive SSM) drive systems achieves quick response, high accuracy, and tenacious tracking.

High resolution and fast AF at any focal length

Precision G Master optics ensure consistently high corner-to-corner resolution at any focusing distance throughout the lens’ zoom range.

Compact, lightweight and mobile

Innovative modular exterior construction and magnesium components reduce weight and size for improved portability and mobility. 

Outstanding shooting versatility

A floating focus mechanism achieves a minimum focus distance of just 3.22 ft. (0.98 meters) so you can track and shoot subjects at any distance with one lens.
