High-magnification 15X zoom lens with focal length equivalent to 27.5mm to 414mm in 35mm film format

This is an all-purpose zoom lens capable of the necessary wide angles for indoor shooting and snapshots and also super telephoto shooting of sports action and wildlife.

Built-in ultrasonic AF motor (SDM)

Ultrasonic motor is used in the lens for providing an "SDM" mechanism that enables quiet and smooth autofocus operation (Note).Note: The compatible models are the K-70/K-1/K-3II/K-3/K-S2/K-S1/K-50/K-30/K-5 II/K-5IIs/K-5/K-01/K-7/K-r/K-x/K-m/K20D/K200D/K10D FW Ver.1.30/K100D Super. If attached to other cameras, focusing is performed using the manual focus.

High-performance optical system using ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass and aspherical lenses

The optical system uses two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass and three aspherical lenses for correcting various types of aberration and enabling full edge-to-edge lighting and sharp resolution.

Lightweight and compact

The latest optical design technology was used to combine high magnification performance into a compact, lightweight design in this lens for providing the highest ease of operation and mobility.

Minimum shooting distance of 0.49m over entire zoom range

This lens allows a maximum shooting magnification
