About the Product
The optical construction features 16 elements in 12 groups, including one ED lens to minimize chromatic aberration and ensure high image quality throughout the zoom range. Despite its telephoto reach, the lens is compact when retracted, making it easy to stow away.

The inclusion of SPORT VR mode is a significant benefit for tourists who want to photograph moving subjects like performers, wildlife, or trains, as it provides a stable viewfinder image for easier tracking.

Faqs:
What does the 35mm equivalent focal length of 75-375mm mean?
Since this is a DX (APS-C) format lens, the crop factor means the field of view is equivalent to that of a 75-375mm lens on a full-frame camera. This is a powerful telephoto reach, offering maximum magnification for distant subjects.
How does the SPORT VR mode help with photography?
The SPORT VR mode is optimized for shooting fast, erratically moving subjects. It provides a more stable viewfinder image while panning, allowing you to track action more easily and accurately without causing VR sickness or camera shake.
Is this lens too long to shoot portraits with?
No. The 50mm to 100mm range (equivalent to 75-150mm) is excellent for travel portraits, providing a flattering compression and background blur. The longer focal lengths can also be used to create highly isolated, compressed environmental portraits.
Why is the lightweight nature of 405g important for a telephoto lens?
Telephoto lenses are often heavy. Keeping the mass down to 405g makes this lens comfortable to carry all day and easy to manage, even when shooting handheld at maximum zoom, which reduces fatigue and increases its practicality for tourists.
How close can I focus with this lens?
The minimum focusing distance is 0 point 5m at the wide end (50mm). This provides a maximum magnification of 0 point 23 times, which is quite good for capturing close-up details of food or small objects during your travels.
