<Distinctive Body Design>
The design has a distinctive character line crossing diagonally over the lens section.
In this design, a brilliant metallic coating creates remarkable highlights and shadows under
light for creating a stunning impression.
<Brilliant Metallic Color>
Metallic colors are used for the cassette cover
side. Metal and chrome parts are also used for
the lens ring and Megapixel badge to provide a
sense of refinement.

2-2-2 New technologies and new functions
A two-sided aspherical lens and high-refraction glass are arranged efficiently to minimize the size despite an increased number of
lenses.
The movement amount of the compensator near the tele end was also increased to reduce the load on the variator and achieve an
efficient zoom ratio over the entire short length.
