Features

1.The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent effect of a shutter speed four stops faster*. This function provides optimal image stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and following shots).

2.Aspherical and UD lens elements result in outstanding image delineation.

3.The zoom ring can be fixed to keep the lens at the shortest point.

4.A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer background blur.

*Based on [1/(focal length x 1.6)] second. Generally, it requires a shutter speed [1/focal length] second or faster to prevent camera shake (in 35mm format.

With an EF-S lens, it would be [1/(focal length x 1.6)] second).
