| Lens brightness and image stabilizer |
|
The lens brightness and aperture value is f/2,8.
|
|
This aperture value indicates that the lens is very bright.
This will make it so much easier shooting in darker environments where you do not want or can use flash lighting, for example in churches or at different sports venues.
|
| Inside the lens there is an image stabilizer, which helps to fend off possible movements and tremors. This is very positive and can be of great help in situations and conditions where the light is inadequate and not enough for decent shutter speeds.

| Filter and Lens Hood |
| The lens has a traditional filter thread on the front and its measuring 58 mm which also the filter you will use must have. If you use for example an UV filter can be a cheap insurance against scratches and dust.
|
|
There is a lens hood that fits the lens (model name "EW-65B") but unfortunately this is something that is not included when purchasing the lens and must be ordered and bought separately, as an accessory.
