The versatile focal length range makes it perfect for capturing everything from sweeping landscapes and cozy interiors to faraway scenes and detailed close-ups. Its fast, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture opens up exciting creative opportunities in low-light settings, while also creating stunningly smooth background blur for striking portrait photography.

Shines in low light

Creativity doesn't have to pause with the setting sun. The impressive maximum aperture of f/2.8 opens the door to endless artistic opportunities, allowing you to capture breathtaking low-light portraits, evocative interior scenes, stunning nighttime cityscapes, and so much more.

Hannah I. ★★★★★

I was shooting a dimly lit indoor reception yesterday, and the constant f/2.8 aperture let me keep the shutter speed high without bumping up the ISO. The VR stabilization is a lifesaver for handheld video, too.

Charlotte H. ★★★★★

The f/2.8 constant aperture through the entire zoom range is fantastic for shooting interiors in low light without bumping the ISO too high. Being able to pull in sweeping landscapes and then quickly focus on a faraway subject without swapping lenses is a real time-saver.

Stella ★★★★★

I was skeptical about video performance on a kit zoom, but the f/2.8 aperture keeps exposure consistent even when I'm panning across different lighting. The VR stabilization really smooths out my handheld walking shots, too.
