The internal focus and zoom design maintains the lens’s compact balance on a gimbal while accepting standard 72mm filters, a practical advantage for run-and-gun setups. This lens is best for real estate and architecture photographers who need a fast, portable wide-angle zoom that won't shift its center of gravity during video work.
