Constant f/2.8 to 105mm
Class-first constant f/2.8 across 24-105 — replaces both 24-70 and short-tele primes for hybrid shooters.
Power-Zoom Compatible
Native PZ-E2 power zoom adapter support — the only standard zoom designed for cinema and broadcast hybrid use.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Reviewers note the unprecedented constant f/2.8 spec; price is the main pushback. Curator content pending.
