Surprisingly compact and lightweight zoom with a powerful 10.7x range
Despite covering a wide range of focal lengths from 28mm at the wide end to 300mm at the telephoto end (10.7x zoom overall), the 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is portable with a length of just 126mm (5in) and a light weight of 610g (21.5oz). This lens is also recommended for those who want to keep their bag small and lightweight, as the lens is easy to take with you, even as a second lens, wherever you go and does not tire you out after long periods of shooting. In addition, users can enjoy wide macro photography with an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5in) at the 28mm wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8, making this lens extremely versatile. Furthermore, the lens makes it easy to frame accurately when shooting still and moving images while zooming in and out, such as sports and wildlife, and is designed to be comfortable to use.
