Product Description
Improved Coatings Transform Zoom Lens into a Di Type
Lens Designed for Digital SLR Cameras
By employing Internal Surface Coatings (i.e., multiple-layer coatings on
cemented surfaces of plural elements) and new multiple-layer coating technology
on ordinary elements, ghosting and flare due to reflections that occur when
light enters through the front element and reflections caused by the imagers
themselves are reduced to the absolute minimum. Additionally, upgraded advanced
quality control raises the level of resolution performance standards and
prevents flare due to aberrations, resulting in a telephoto zoom lens suitable
for photography with interchangeable-lens type digital SLR cameras.
Macro Effect of 1:2 in Telephoto Zoom Range
Flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm allows entry
into the macro range, for photography as close as 95cm (37.4) from the subject.
In the macro range, one can take advantage of the telephoto effect and a maximum
magnification ratio up to 1:2. (In normal shooting ranges, the minimum focus
distance is 1.5m.) In addition, since the focal length in the macro range spans
from 180mm to 300mm, zooming can also be used to adjust composition.
Designed for Use on Both Digital and 35mm Film
Cameras
The ultra-long telephoto zoom covering up to 465mm equivalent can be used on a
digital SLR camera, while the wide-end 70mm can be used with a conventional 35mm
film SLR camera for portraits and other moderately mid-range shots.
External Design Shared by All Di Lenses
The external design features a gold-colored label on the ring, representative of
the heightened visibility and quality design of the Di lens family. Additionally
, the black coating over the entire lens barrel creates a high-quality,
sophisticated look. The rubber pattern on the zoom and focus rings have been
changed to a smaller, higher density pattern that creates a more unified look
with the camera and improves the tactile feel when handling.
