A Wider Zoom Range

A long history of capable all-in-one zooms continues to expand with the release of the 25-200mm, which now reaches to an even wider 25mm compared to its predecessors. This provides photographers with a touch more range and with a minimum focus distance of just 6.3" at the wide end they can also get closer with a 1:1.9 magnification ratio, or half-life-size macro.

The wide-angle to telephoto range provides shooters with plenty of options as they work, benefitting everything from landscapes to portraits to sports. A fast maximum aperture at even allows for shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh.

Smooth Operation

An updated design features an improved surface finish that has improved grip and resistance to abrasions and fingerprints. The zoom and focus rings have been further optimized for smoother rotation for improved tactile control over the lens. Additionally, the lens is moisture resistant and has a fluorine coating on the front element to provide water- and oil-resistance.
