Features / Specifications
- Superior distant view catching performance
- An astronomical-type optical system with few lenses is used for enabling sharp, crystal-clear images particularly for photography of distant subjects. The optical system uses two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass lenses for correcting chromatic aberration and providing sufficient lighting for the edges and high resolution performance.
- New "HD Coating" (Note 1)
- A new high-performance multicoating "HD Coating" (Note 1) is used. This coating has less reflection and higher transmissivity than conventional coatings for providing sharp, crystal-clear images with reduced ghosting and flare even under backlighting and other adverse lighting conditions. Note 1: "HD" is abbreviation for High Definition. Definition = Transparency, detail, resolution, imaging performance
- Dust-resistant and drip-proof construction (AW)
- The lens barrel has been sealed in 29 locations for enabling a dust-resistant and drip-proof "AW (All Weather)" construction that prevents the entry of water and dust into the lens.
- New design expressing the spirit of the HD series
- The lens outside is a white color for a sense of presence and preventing heat haze from occurring inside the lens barrel under hot, sunny conditions. The strap mounting fixture uses a machined stainless steel material for providing a sense of elegance. The red alumite ring in the center of the lens barrel is the distinctive symbol of the HD series.
- Enables use of C-PL (circular polarized light) filter
- The lens body includes a detachable "filter mounting frame". When the supplied C-PL filter (40.5mm size, specifically for this lens) is attached, an operation ring can be installed for enabling rotation from the outside for enabling easy adjustment of polarizing effects.
- Internal lens motor for smooth AF
- The autofocus uses an internal lens AF motor (DC motor) for smooth driving action.
- Quick-Shift Focus System
- After focusing by AF, manual focus operation is possible without any switching operation.
- SP (super protect) coating
- A SP (super protect) coating is used for protecting the lens front surface from water and dirt and allowing any adhering dirt and oils to be easily removed.
- Round iris diaphragm (Open to F11)
- This lens uses a round iris diaphragm for reducing the beam of light when shooting point light sources and for enabling representation of round out-of-focus (bokeh) effect.
