Ultra light and compact 2.6x standard zoom lens. It is equivalent to 35-90mm on a 35mm camera. You can enjoy close-up shooting with a minimum focusing distance down to 28cm in entire zoom area, and 0.23x (equivalent to 0.46x on a 35mm camera) of magnification. Two aspherical lenses compensate each aberration to give the high image quality in entire zoom area.
