OVERVIEW
Combining a dynamic 20mm perspective with exceptional flexibility
20-60mm: Freedom to compose
From an expansive 20mm ultra-wide to a natural 60mm perspective, this lens delivers a wide range of expression in a versatile zoom. Capture everything from sweeping landscapes to everyday snapshots and portraits—without changing lenses. With a maximum aperture of F2.8 at 20mm, you can shoot confidently in low light environments such as indoors and nightscapes, while keeping ISO low.
Bringing 20mm into your everday
Weighing just 385g, this 3x zoom achieves an incredibly compact design—remarkable for an ultra-wide lens starting at F2.8. Its slim form fits easily into any bag, making it ideal for everything from daily snapshots and travel to hiking and video creation. Experience full-frame rendering performance with
unprecedented portability.
Uncompromising Optical Performance
Consistent Optical Performance Across the Zoom Range
While prioritizing improved portability, no compromises have been made in image quality. The optical design—featuring 15 elements in 13 groups, including three aspherical lenses and three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements—delivers consistent sharpness throughout the entire zoom range. From everyday scenes to breathtaking travel moments, it renders every detail with striking clarity.
Macro Capabilities for Versatile Expression
An impressive close-up capability expands shooting versatility. With a minimum focusing distance of 15.8 cm at 28mm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.3 at 35mm, this lens delivers richly detailed close-up images approaching half-macro performance. Even at the 60mm telephoto end, it maintains a high magnification of 1:2.9, ensuring a seamless shooting experience across the zoom range that allows full focus on composition without concern for subject distance.
Designed to Minimize Flare and Ghosting
Flare and ghosting, which reduce image quality, are addressed under all conditions of incident light based on advanced simulation technology. High backlight resistance enables clear and sharp images under any lighting conditions.
Reliability for Effortless Shooting
Fast and Quiet Autofocus with HLA System
A linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) is employed for the AF actuator, delivering high-speed autofocus with high-precision drive to capture decisive moments. It also offers outstanding tracking performance for fast-moving subjects, even at high frame rates. Engineered for modern hybrid shooting, it ensures seamless performance across stills and video.
Minimal Focus Breathing
The lens is designed to minimize changes in the angle of view caused by focusing, enabling smooth, natural-looking focus pulls when recording video.
Dust and Splash Resistant Structure and Water and Oil Repellent Coating
In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant structure, the frontmost surface of the lens has a water- and oil-repellent coating applied, allowing photographers to shoot without concern even in harsh outdoor environments.
