One lens for all occasions

A 24mm to 240mm 10x zoom range allows this one lens to cover an extensive variety of shooting situations, making it ideal for travel where reducing luggage is a priority, for landscapes, architecture, snapshots, portraits, and much more. Switch between wide angle and telephoto without having to change lenses, so more of those fleeting moments will be captured. Advanced optics effectively subdue aberration while achieving high resolution throughout the image area, and a precision linear motor drives focus for quick, smooth response. Handheld telephoto shots and low-light photography are facilitated by built-in Optical SteadyShot™ (OSS) image stabilization, and the design is dust and moisture resistant for reliable operation in challenging conditions.

24mm emphasizes full-frame visual impact

This lens goes wider that most other lenses of this type, with a 24mm wide end that makes a significant difference in the full-frame format. 24mm means more dynamic perspectives for scenery, architecture, indoor shots, and a multitude of other subjects. Excellent resolution is maintained throughout the image area at all focal lengths.

10x zoom captures subjects near or far

24mm to 240mm covers a broad variety of photographic needs. It is a one-lens solution that can reduce baggage when traveling and maximize efficiency at busy events. Move close to the subject and use the telephoto end of the range to create impressive perspective with smooth bokeh effects for subjects like flowers as well as general photography.

High resolution throughout the zoom range

Five aspherical elements and one ED glass element contribute to high-quality 24mm performance in a compact lens. All types of aberration have been effectively suppressed while high resolution is achieved throughout the image area. An advanced linear motor drives the focusing mechanism for quick, smooth response throughout the extended zoom range.

High reliability in harsh conditions

A design that resists the intrusion of dust and moisture helps to ensure reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions.

Sharper images in any light

Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ (OSS) image stabilization makes it easier to capture clear images when shooting handheld at the telephoto end of the zoom range, in ambient indoor lighting, or when shooting night scenes. For most photography you can leave the tripod at home!

*When an APS-C format lens is attached to a 35mm Full Frame camera, images are recorded in APS-C format. When mounted on α series cameras with APS-C type sensor, the actual angle of view will be equal to the angle obtained at a focal-length approx. 1.5 times longer than stated.
