Short Minimum Focusing Distance

Optical Design
With the latest optical design using special lenses for 12 of the 21 total elements (in 18 groups), this lens is claimed to have excellent optical performance throughout the zoom ranges from wide-angle to telephoto on the L-mount cameras. In addition, ‘UMC (Ultra Multi-Coating)’ technology is applied to minimize flare and ghosting. The aperture has 9 diaphragm blades.
AF Performance
The lens’ Linear Stepping Motor (STM) is stated to offer fast and highly AF for both stills and video.
Optimized features for video shooting
If you set the custom switch to MODE 2 in the AF mode, the focusing ring operates with the aperture adjustment function. Switching to MODE 3 enables a unique video feature called ‘Dolly Shot’ in MF mode. Two Focus Hold Buttons are equipped on the side, which can be used as focus hold buttons in AF mode and as focus save buttons in MF mode.
Zoom Lock Switch
A zoom lock switch helps users keep the lens set at its shortest 35mm position, making it more convenient and safe to carry.
Design
By applying a metal barrel, the build quality has been improved and the lens more robust. A zoom lock switch helps users keep the lens set at its shortest 35mm position. The lens is weather-sealed to prevent damage or contamination from dust, light rain, and snow.
