While it's not the cheapest or smallest autofocus lens of its type for the system, it's reasonably priced and has some nice quality-of-life features that more budget options don't.
The lens is made of 11 elements in 8 groups, with two aspherical lenses, two high-refractive elements and one ED element. It has an 11-bladed aperture, and a minimum focusing distance of 0. 4m (15. 7").
Its body is made of metal, which likely contributes to it being relatively heavy at 426g. The lens can take 62mm filters, and is 94mm (3. 7") long. Its autofocus system is driven by a stepper motor.
As for the features, it has a clickless aperture ring, an auto/manual focus switch and a customizable function button. There's also a USB-C port on the bottom for firmware updates.
The lens costs $299 and is available now.
