C025
The three-digit code on the surface of the lens is to indicate the year the lens was first released. (Since it is different from the year of manufacture, the release year and edition number may not match depending on the mount.)
This lens is the world's first to achieve a vast zoom range from ultra-wide 20mm to telephoto 200mm, while weighing only 550g and measuring just 115.5mm in length*1. The zoom ring diameter is a very slim 70.4mm, making it highly portable. Without worrying about size or weight, the lens provides extensive creative flexibility in any situation, from everyday snapshots to travel photography.
*1 The figures are for L-Mount.
In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant structure, the front element of the lens features a water- and oil-repellent coating, allowing photographers to shoot without concerns even in harsh outdoor environments.
*1 The structure is designed to be dust- and splash- resistant, but not waterproof. Be careful not to bring the lens in contact with a large amount of water. Water inside the lens may cause major damage and even render the lens unrepairable.
