No more blur and shake.

Experience handheld stability.
Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to travel to photo spots, lightening your load when searching for birds and wildlife. Smooth handheld shooting without a tripod or monopod lets you capture panning shots of moving subjects whether they’re in flight or on the move.

Versatile Tripod Mounting
A new lightweight tripod collar design allows it to be detached even when the lens is attached to the camera. Its foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss-type clamps, and its shape is optimized for easy transport when held by the collar.

Worry-Free Weather Sealing
When you’re shooting in the wild, weather conditions can be unpredictable. Certified waterproofing eliminates the need for rain covers, keeping your gear dry so you can focus on shooting.

IPX1 Certified Waterproofing
The entire lens is hermetically sealed for IPX1 splash protection and a dust-tight design. This construction keeps out dust and moisture, allowing you to shoot with peace of mind in harsh environments.

Fluorine Coating
The front element is coated with fluorine for added protection. In case of rain, snow or dust, the lens can be easily cleaned with a blower or cloth, allowing you to continue shooting without interruption.
