A standard zoom lens covering a focus range equivalent to 28-84mm on a 35mm camera. Weighing a mere 112 grams, this lens incorporates an MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism that increases AF (Autofocusing) speed and reduces operation noise, making it possible to obtain SLR image quality with movies as well as with still pictures.
