Fast f/2.8 constant aperture

Open the f/2.8 fixed aperture to shoot in low light at lower ISOs, or use faster shutter speeds to freeze movement. Set your aperture and shutter speed once, then zoom and reframe across the entire 70-180 mm zoom range without affecting exposure. Shoot at f/2.8 and you can also accentuate your portraits with soft bokeh.

Sharp close-ups

For greater versatility, this telephoto lens is capable of extremely short focusing distances so you can shoot from close range without sacrificing sharpness. Minimum focus is just 0.27 m at the short (70 mm) end of the zoom range, and 0.85 m if you’ve zoomed in to shoot at 180 mm.
