The large circular aperture produces a shallow depthoffield creating background blur that draws attention to the photographic subject.

The lens construction includes UD and aspherical elements which deliver impressive image quality throughout the entire zoom range.

Image Stabilizer lens groups shift to compensate for camera movement so that the image appears steady on the image plane ensuring clear crisp images even in dim light.

With a Ringtype USM inner focusing and new AF algorithms this lens achieves autofocus quickly and quietly and with fulltime mechanical manual focusing manually adjusting the focus is possible even in AF mode.
