The classic 10:1 zoom of 16mm documentary and news work, f/2.2 (about T2.5), parfocal and under 900 g. It is a standard-16mm lens: it comes closer than most of its contemporaries to filling Super 16 but does not fully cover it at every focal length, and it will not cover Micro Four Thirds — the 2/3-inch value here is the nearest format it safely covers. Minimum focus is about 1.5 m.
