With this one powerful lens, you can capture a wide variety of subjects and situations in the picture. A constant F4 aperture throughout the zoom range ensures brightness even when the focal length is changed. The Direct Drive SSM AF drive system enables fast, precise, quiet focusing. All these features make the FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS an excellent choice for both photo and video recording.
