Whether you are capturing expansive landscapes at 28mm or zooming in for a candid portrait at 200mm, this lens provides incredible versatility without the need for frequent lens changes.

Specialist Note "The 28-200mm Aspherical is a true piece of optical history. When it was released, it proved that a 'super-zoom' didn't have to be bulky or poor quality. What makes this lens a standout today is its color rendering; it has a lovely, classic warmth that looks fantastic on both film and digital sensors. It’s the perfect lens for someone who wants to walk out the door with just one camera and be ready for anything—from an architectural wide shot to a bird in a tree. For the price, you simply cannot find a more versatile piece of glass for your kit."
