lens and, at the fully opened position, produces high resolution and high contrast at
the center of the lens as well as around the periphery.
2. Controls chromatic aberration optimally by using premium optical glass with high
refraction and extra-low dispersion.
3. Allows precision focus control by providing a soft and wide focus operation area.
4. Ultra multi coating design for optimum suppression of ghost images and vivid color
image reproduction.
5. Maintains an unchanged size with its inner focus design.
This product is designed with its own mount so you can easily take photographs by
mounting the lens directly onto the camera, without installing an additional adaptor .
