18-50mm F2.8 EX DC - This lens offers a large aperture of F2.8 over its entire range of focal lengths and its large depth of field offers greater freedom of creative expression. This EX lens series lens is excellence of engineering and new technology. The use of two aspherical lens elements provides correction for various aberrations and makes high quality images a reality throughout the entire zoom range. The characteristics of digital SLR cameras were taken into consideration when designing the lens power layout, especially for effective compensation of lateral chromatic aberration, which is likely to occur with digital SLR cameras. Most Appropriate Coating for Digital Products--- Super Multi Layer (SML) coating gives the best color balance and reduces flare and ghosting from which digital cameras tend to suffer.This lens has excellent correction for vignetting which is a common problem of large aperture lenses. Its new design ensures superior peripheral brightness.

Specially designed to suit the characteristics of digital SLR cameras, this compact, lightweight zoom lens from wide angle to telephoto is now a reality
View Image of Lens

18-125mm F3.5-5.6 DC - This zoom lens was exclusively designed for use with digital Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras and has a 1:6.9 zoom ratio. From wide angle to telephoto, this new zoom lens can capture a wide range of subjects. As there is no need to change lenses, there is no risk of missing those great shots.

A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) lens and two aspherical glass elements produce a high level of optical performance through the entire zoom range. We used the most appropriate coating for digital products to reduce flare and ghost, caused by digital SLR cameras and to produce the best color balance. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm (19.6in.) at all focal lengths and a maximum magnification of 1:5.3.

The lens is equipped with an inner focusing system, which prevents the front element from rotating making it particularly suitable for Petal shaped `hoods and a circular polarizing filters. The lens is also equipped with a zoom lock that eliminates "zoom creep" during transit.
