Features:

SUPERIOR OPTICAL PERFORMANCE CONCENTRATED IN A HIGHLY PORTABLE, COMPACT AND LIGHT BODY FACILITATES SHOOTING FOR AMAZING IMAGE QUALITY
Utilizing a short flange focal distance, one of the great advantages of the Z mount system, a thin body design with a weight of only approx. 135 g/4.8 oz is achieved without sacrificing optical performance. Also, the adoption of a retractable-lens mechanism that shortens the length when stored results in a compact and light design. In addition, the retractable-lens mechanism can extend/retract the lens via zoom ring rotation without pressing a button. This highly mobile standard zoom lens enables the easy capture of high-quality images anytime and anywhere, even when sudden shutter opportunities arise.

HIGHLY PRACTICAL ZOOM RANGE* FROM WIDE-ANGLE 16 MM SUITABLE FOR LANDSCAPES TO MEDIUM-TELEPHOTO 50 MM
Featuring a zoom range from wide-angle 16 mm to medium-telephoto 50 mm, this lens is ideal for a wide variety of scenes and subjects such as wide-spread landscapes, snapshots and portraits.

BEAUTIFUL IMAGES OF EVEN FINELY DETAILED OR NEAR SUBJECTS CAN BE CAPTURED
Thanks to the high resolution attained with a large-diameter Z mount that greatly changes the perception of conventional DX-format kit lenses, fine details can be faithfully and sharply reproduced across the entire frame from maximum aperture. Also, utilizing an extremely short minimum focus distance of 0.2 m/ 0.66 ft (at 24 mm zoom position), even close subjects can be sharply focused for beautiful images. High-quality images showing exceptional detail transform everyday lives and familiar scenes into highly attractive and impressive works that can be appreciated by everyone.

SUPERB VR EFFECT EQUIVALENT TO A SHUTTER SPEED 4.5 STOPS FASTER ENABLES THE CAPTURE OF IMAGES WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT CAMERA SHAKE
The built-in optical VR (Vibration Reduction) system provides an outstanding blur-correction effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.5 stops faster* (based on CIPA Standard). Even for scenes such as night landscapes and low-light indoor situations, image blur in a finder image or resulting image caused by camera shake is effectively compensated, enabling the reliable capture of shutter opportunities.

GREAT MOVIE RECORDING PERFORMANCE FOR SMOOTH AND NATURAL FOOTAGE
A wide range of features that realize enhanced movie expression is incorporated. With effective focus-breathing reduction, natural movies with minimal shifting of the angle of view are attained even when the focus point changes. The control ring to which various functions such as focus (M/A)*, ISO sensitivity, aperture or exposure compensation can be assigned allows smooth and quiet clickless operation. Because AF and diaphragm mechanisms ensure quiet operation, movie recording is reliably enabled without worrying about their operation sounds being recorded. In addition, stable aperture control delivers smooth and natural exposure changes to movies.
