This is a 10X high-performance
zoom lens that covers the standard-
to-super-telephoto range. This is
the only lens photographers need
to shoot a wide variety of subjects
they can't get close to, such as
airplanes and motor sports. SLD
(Special Low Dispersion) glass
and aspherical lens elements are
used for superior correction of
chromatic aberration, and a 7 lens-
group zoom system ensures high
performance throughout the entire
zoom range. The HSM model
makes fast AF speeds and quiet
shooting a reality, and allows full-
time manual focus. With an optional
2X APO Tele Converter, the lens
becomes a 1000mm super-telephoto.

This is a telephoto zoom lens with a
large aperture of F2.8. It has the
same minimum focusing distance of
100 cm (39.4 inches) and the same
high close-up capabilities with a
maximum magnification of 1:3.5 as
the previous model, but its image
quality is even better. SLD (Special
Low Dispersion) glass and ELD
(Extraordinary Low Dispersion)
glass are used for superior
correction of all types of aberration,
and a Super Multi-Layer Coating is
used to cut down on the occurrence
of flare and ghosting and ensure
optimum image quality throughout.

This is a high-performance
telephoto zoom lens with superior
image quality. It is capable of
macro photography with a
maximum magnification of 1:2 at
the 300 mm focal length. It is
equipped with a switch that
reduces the minimum focusing
distance at 150mm to 95 cm, and
1:2 macro photography is easily
engaged without having to change
lenses. This lens
photographers a lot more freedom
by allowing them to frame by
zooming between the 200 mm and
300 mm settings even during
macro photography. SLD (Special

This is a telephoto zoom lens that
allows photographers to take
advantage of a long focal length
for effects such as shortening the
perspective between the subject
and background or blending
subjects that are in and out of
focus. Its performance has been
optimized for digital SLR cameras,
and SLD (Special Low Dispersion)
glass is used for superior
correction of chromatic aberration.
The lens is easy to hold and use
because its length does not change
during focusing or zooming. The
HSM model makes fast AF speeds
and quiet shooting a reality, and is
also capable of full-time manual
focus.

We added a zoom to a well-
established 300 mm F2.8 high-
performance telephoto lens to create
this large-aperture telephoto zoom
lens with high mobility. The zoom
function allows photographers to
easily compose shots when they
cannot change their shooting
position, so is ideal for sports
action, animals in the wild, and
other decisive moments. It is also
perfect for portraits as beautifully
out-of-focus backgrounds are
obtained with an open aperture of
F2.8. SLD(Special Low Dispersion)
glass is used for superior correction
of chromatic aberration and high
image quality throughout the entire
zoom range. The lens is equipped
