Our go-to lens that is on one of our cameras 70% of the time. The lens is wide enough for establishing classroom shots and can zoom into students in action. Having stabilization built-in helps when filming handheld.

Wonderful telephoto lens for when you want to stay in the back of the classroom and zoom in. A constant F2.8 won’t affect the brightness while zooming. This is a big feature vs. the cheaper f4.0-5.6
