If you are the type to photograph dramatic landscapes one day, and a wedding the next, the 16-28mm f2.8 DG DN | C is the lens for you. Highly adaptable, its convenient form-factor allows more freedom and improved usability making it a practical, as well as creative, choice for any scene.

Well suited for videography
The lens’ internal zoom ensures that it retains a consistent balance throughout the entire focal length. This feature lends itself perfectly to videography mounted to a gimbal, vlogging tripod or using the camera handheld.
The wide-angle of the lens can capture more of the scene, whilst the wide aperture makes the lens fast and well suited to low-light environments. A silent and fast stepping motor inside the lens controls the AF actuator which ensures that even with an on-camera microphone, the lens remains unheard.
Intuitive design
Constructed out of specially selected lightweight materials such as Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), the lens is able to excel even in challenging environments with harsh temperature differences, as the metal and plastic components contract and expand to similar degrees.
