A minimum focus distance of approximately 0.45m throughout the entire zoom range makes the lens useful for close-up photography, adding to its all-around usability and outstanding versatility. The lens also features a zoom ring lock that prevents the barrel from extending and striking objects while being carried. Other performance features include high-speed AF and a circular aperture for producing nicely rounded blurs while at the same time controlling flaring and ghosting.
