Build Quality edit

The lens features an all-plastic construction with rubber focus and zoom rings. The barrel of the lens telescopes outward from the main lens body as it's zoomed in from 18mm to 200mm. To combat zoom creep, the lens features a small zoom lock switch on the main lens barrel.

The zoom lens features a wide range of focal lengths, from wide angle at its shortest to super-telephoto at its longest.
