This compact zoom lens covers the commonly used focal length range from 18mm wide-angle to 55mm telephoto. The optical structure is based on 14 elements in 10 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses and 1 ED lens with extra-low dispersion. The edges of the seven aperture blades have been rounded to guarantee the highest image quality.
The high-speed autofocus features a linear drive that focuses on the perfect photo subject in just 0.1 seconds. Focusing occurs without any annoying focusing noises, which makes the lens ideal for video recording.
The optical and mechanical construction is groundbreaking: Despite a high aperture of F2.8-4.0, the 18-55mm XF zoom lens is very compact. The bright and handy lens always guarantees outstanding image quality under a wide range of conditions. It is also ideal for shooting in low light and subjects with aesthetic background blur.
The lens has an optical image stabilizer (OIS), which allows a shutter speed of up to 4 stops slower by effectively compensating for camera shake and thus preventing blurry images. Like the other XF lenses, it has an aperture ring that allows the photographer to easily adjust the aperture even while looking through the viewfinder.
