- Compact and Lightweight Design: This new lens is approximately 7% smaller and 10% lighter than the previous model, making it more portable and easier to handle during long shooting sessions.
- Advanced Autofocus System: The lens features a redesigned autofocus motor, the High-response Linear Actuator (HLA), which enables high-speed and precise autofocus performance. This improvement is particularly beneficial for capturing fast-moving subjects and achieving accurate focus in various shooting conditions.
