Inner zoom ensures stable operation and composition
Inner zoom is incorporated, which keeps the heavy first lens group retained within the lens barrel when zooming. The overall barrel length remains the same even when the focal length is changed, keeping it compact. Unlike competing products, the minimal center-of-gravity shift makes it easy to use even on a gimbal setting and ensures stable operation and composition.
