A breakthrough F2 telephoto zoom for new expression
Developed for creators who want next-generation versatility and expression, this telephoto zoom is the world’s first with a maximum focal length of 150mm and F2 aperture. Smooth bokeh works with telephoto compression for creative portraits, and the large aperture is ideal for indoor events. All of this plus internal zoom in an agile lens that weighs just 1,340 g (47.3 oz), without tripod base.

Resolution that rivals prime lenses
Two precision XA (extreme aspherical) elements in an innovative optical design, plus advanced manufacturing, and carefully controlled aberration, deliver resolution that rivals high-quality prime lenses throughout the image area at all apertures, including F2. This superb lens brings out the best in the latest high-resolution camera bodies.

Outstanding clarity and contrast
Two Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and three ED glass elements minimize both longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration for exceptionally sharp imagery without color bleeding. Contrast and clarity are further enhanced by Nano AR Coating II that effectively suppresses flare and ghosting even when a strong light source appears in the frame.

Exquisite bokeh makes subjects stand out
Several innovations contribute to outstanding resolution and bokeh, including a new 11-blade circular aperture and two precision XA (extreme aspherical) lens elements that effectively suppress onion-ring bokeh. Bokeh is unusually smooth and creamy for a zoom lens. Telephoto compression and shallow depth of field contribute to memorable images.

Get close for stunning detail
With a maximum magnification of 0.2x and minimum focus distances of 0.4 m (1.32 ft) at 50mm and 0.74 m (2.43 in) at 150mm, close-up performance is superb. This lightweight 50-150mm zoom can be used handheld to shoot small items at weddings without having to change lenses. Floating focus ensures excellent sharpness.
