Not only is the 70-180mm fast, with its F2.8 aperture, but it is also small (just 149mm at 70mm) and lightweight (at just 810g) thanks to innovative lens design and its revolutionary VXD focussing system. Its most outstanding feature however is the high image quality which is sure to impress. The close focusing distance of 0.85 m also opens up new photographic expression options for the user. A special feature of the 70-180mm F/2.8 is its ability to focus an object at 70mm with manual focus from a short distance of only 0.27m2.
