Compact, Yet Powerful
Despite its lightweight body (only 494g), this lens maintains a constant F2.8 aperture, enabling reliable low-light performance and smooth bokeh control—perfect for travel, vlogging, and event photography.
More Range. Less Distance.
Close-Up Flexibility Across the Range
With a short minimum focusing distance of 0.18m (wide) and 0.32m (tele), this lens brings you closer to your subjects—ideal for capturing food, pets, or everyday moments with depth and detail. The 0.27x (wide) / 0.25x (tele) magnification supports near-macro shooting, offering creative close-ups with smooth background blur.
Your Go-To Zoom — Ready Anytime, Anywhere
From Streets to Studios
Whether you're capturing environmental portraits, everyday moments, or documentary-style videos, this lens covers the most frequently used focal lengths—making it your reliable go-to in any scenario.
Shoot Wide Open—Anytime, Anywhere
Artful Bokeh and Background Separation
The AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE delivers beautiful bokeh and shallow depth of field, thanks to its constant F2.8 aperture. The 9-blade circular diaphragm creates soft, rounded highlights, making your subject stand out beautifully against a creamy, defocused background. This makes it an excellent choice for portrait photography and expressive visual storytelling.
Low-Light Performance You Can Rely On
With a constant F2.8 aperture and precisely engineered aspherical elements, this lens maintains sharpness and minimal distortion even in low-light conditions. Capture clean, detailed images without pushing ISO—perfect for night scenes and dimly lit interiors.
Fast. Smooth. Silent.
Reliable Autofocus for Stills and Video
The AF 24-60mm F2.8 FE, powered by a high-performance Linear STM (Stepping Motor), offers quick, precise, and nearly silent autofocus. This lens ensures smooth subject tracking for still images and provides seamless, noise-free focus transitions during video recording. Designed for hybrid creators, it performs reliably even in low-light conditions, allowing for fast and discreet shooting in any environment.

This allows the lens to remain clean and easy to wipe off after use. Additionally, the IP5-level dust-resistant design guarantees stable shooting performance, even in outdoor settings or while on the move, providing long-lasting protection for your lens.

The built-in USB-C port enables easy firmware updates without a separate Lens Station, ensuring continuous optimization of camera compatibility and feature performance.
