This is neither a long-distance runner or a sprinter. The lens makes a dash from the minimum shooting distance to infinity, and back again repeatedly. There are three requirements. It must be fast, quiet and maintain balance across its zooming range and at any shooting distance, so as not to have any impact on your grip holding the lens. The balanced form eliminates camera shake for high-speed shooting.

NEC's view
This is our go-to zoom lens when we need a close-up. We use it on our Fujifilm X-T5 in situations like safaris or wildlife photography where you need extra reach without compromising on image quality.
This lens is extraordinarily powerful, delivering sharp, detailed images while giving us the distance we want. For us, it’s a high-quality lens that fills a very specific but important role in our kit.
