Its 16.6x all-in-one 18-300mm zoom range, VXD linear autofocus motor, and VC image stabilization, all in a weather-sealed 635g body, eliminate the need for multiple lenses. The lens focuses as close as 5.9 inches for a 1:2 maximum magnification, offering genuine macro capability rare in a superzoom. This lens is best for travel and hiking photographers who want to capture everything from sweeping landscapes to distant wildlife and detailed close-ups without changing lenses.
