Ideal for everyday use, the lens possesses a full-frame equivalent zoom range of 16.5-30mm. At the ultra-wide 11mm end, it delivers captivating close-up performance, with a minimum object distance (MOD) of 0.15m and maximum magnification of 1:4.

Protected by a moisture resistant construction and durable fluorine coating, the waterproof design gives extra protection against the elements and transit.
