A fast standard zoom for APS-C mirrorless cameras, sold here in Sony E mount. The constant f/1.8 aperture across 17-40mm (roughly 26-60mm full-frame equivalent) is the headline: most kit and mid-range zooms start at f/2.8 or slower, so this gathers far more light and gives shallower depth of field at every focal length. It is built for portraits, events and low light, with a dust- and splash-resistant barrel, internal focusing, minimal focus breathing and a close 28 cm minimum focus distance. It is large and heavy for an APS-C zoom, and the price sits well above slower standard zooms, so it suits people who want prime-like aperture in one lens rather than a light walkaround kit.

Lowest price we've seen: $904.00 on Nov 10 at Newegg. Tracked across 9 stores since Nov 10.
Owners treat it as a prime replacement: the f/1.8 aperture across the range is the reason to buy, and most accept the size and weight as the trade-off. Sharpness and bokeh are generally well received, while weight and the lack of stabilization come up as the main gripes.
