All-in-one All-Star
This high zoom ratio lens covers a lot of focal distance without ever having to change lenses, perfect for sandy, mist-sprayed seasides. From wide angle to supertele with a flick of the wrist, it can take in the whole of the beach one instant, and then fill the frame with surfers on the waves, or birds on the rocks. Optical Stabilizer keeps shots sharp at slower shutter speeds, meaning you can skip the tripod in many situations. Adding to its versatility is its close-up abilities, offering 1:2 magnification with the close-up adapter lens, perfect for details of starfish, sandcrabs, and the most amazing shells. This is the best bargain one-lens solution around!
