The 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Model B070) is a fast-aperture standard zoom lens designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras. Combining a versatile zoom range with excellent image quality, it features a 17-70mm focal length range and a 4.1x zoom ratio, class-leading among APS-C standard zoom lenses. Its constant F2.8 maximum aperture provides consistent brightness throughout the entire zoom range, making it ideal for a wide variety of shooting situations.

Equipped with VC (Vibration Compensation) and a fast, quiet autofocus system, the 17-70mm F2.8 VC is designed for both still photography and video. Focus breathing and AF noise are effectively suppressed, providing a smoother shooting experience for video creators. Despite its impressive zoom range and built-in VC, the lens remains compact and lightweight, making it an excellent everyday lens and an ideal travel companion when keeping weight to a minimum is important.

The lens also excels at close-up photography, offering a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of just 0.19m (7.5 inches) at the wide end. This allows photographers to capture unique, expressive images in everyday scenes, from street photography to portraits. Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating further enhance its durability and versatility.

From everyday moments to adventures in distant places, the 17-70mm F2.8 VC delivers the flexibility, performance, and detail needed to capture life’s discoveries with confidence.
