- The world's first F2-2.8 large-aperture zoom lens
The Model A058 achieves a brighter maximum aperture of F2 at a focal length of 35mm compared to typical large-aperture zoom lenses with an F2.8 maximum aperture. It allows you to enjoy large, beautiful bokeh effects even at the wide-angle side. The brightness of this lens is also a great advantage when you want to minimize camera shake at fast shutter speeds or noise generation at low ISO sensitivity.

- Focal length of 35-150mm for seamless shooting from semi-wide-angle to telephoto
With a distinctive focal length of 35mm to 150mm, this zoom lens has a focal length that is ideal for portrait photography, allowing you to use one lens to take a bust-up shot at 85mm, a full-body shot at 35mm, a close-up of an expression at 150mm, and so on. With a simple operation of the zoom ring, you can seamlessly and at a high tempo continue shooting from semi-wide-angle to telephoto without having to change lenses, ensuring that you never miss a shutter chance.

- High optical performance throughout the entire zoom range
The latest optical design, with a well-balanced arrangement of four special glass LD (Low Dispersion) lenses and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses that minimize light dispersion, boasts superior optical performance over the entire zoom range. Even when used in combination with high-resolution digital cameras, the lens delivers stable high image quality all the way to the periphery of the image, and also produces the beautifully soft bokeh effect only possible with large-aperture lenses.
The 50mm focal length, which is a staple for snapshots, the 85mm focal length in the mid-telephoto range, which is often used for portraits, and the 100mm and 135mm focal lengths can also be used to capture excellent images.

- VXD for high-speed, high-precision AF
The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism is used for AF drive. The high-level AF speed and accuracy provide excellent responsiveness to the photographer's intent, enabling stress-free and comfortable focusing from minimum shooting distance to infinity, even with large aperture lenses. The lens also has excellent focus tracking performance for moving subjects, allowing the photographer to capture the moment without missing a shot, even in portrait photography. The low motor noise and quiet operation also make it ideal for taking still images and movies in quiet environments.
