Product Details / Description:

About the Product
The 24-70mm range is perfect for almost every situation tourists encounter: wide for temples and cityscapes, normal for street photography, and short telephoto for portraits and details. The constant f/2.8 lets you shoot indoors at shrines, at dusk in Gion, or in izakayas without flash, while the stabilizer keeps everything sharp during long walks.
At 900 g it’s substantial but beautifully balanced on R5, R6, and R3 bodies – most travelers carry it all day and never feel the need for another lens.
Key Features
- Three aspherical and three UD elements for edge-to-edge sharpness
- Nano USM motor for lightning-fast stills and smooth video AF
- Air Sphere Coating to kill flare under harsh temple lighting
- Close-focus capability down to 21 cm (almost macro at wide end)
- Full dust- and water-resistant sealing with fluorine coating
