Because the data source has been published in the net shop, credibility is so high. The details are unknown at the moment, from the product name, sounds like the successor of the 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM of current.

The new product, as far as photos are impressive, such as are smaller than the current product. In addition, because it includes the “MACRO” in the product name, I might have have been enhanced close-up photography. Are aiming towards a high magnification zoom for APS-C is, this lens is going to be a strong candidate.
