An essential f/2.8 telephoto zoom lens, smaller than ever. Enough reach for wildlife, sports and events, but also wide enough for portraits, landscapes and everyday shooting. Beautiful background blur. Outstanding low-light performance. All in a compact, lightweight design—and price—that defies convention.
