A lens specially designed to suit the
characteristics of digital cameras |
| |
This revolutionary lens has a minimum
focusing distance of 20cm (7.9”) throughout the entire zoom range. A
maximum magnification of 1:2.3 enables extreme close-up photography. An
impressive achievement for a standard zoom lens. The new lens design and
multi-layer lens coating reduce flare and ghosting, a common problem with
digital cameras. |

The advanced design has resulted in a
compact and lightweight lens |
| |
A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) lens and two
aspherical lens elements provide excellent correction for all types of
aberrations and produce a high level of optical performance throughout the
entire zoom range. This lens offers a large F2.8 aperture at 17mm wide angle
and yet it is compact, with an overall length of just 82.5mm (3.2”) and
diameter of 79mm (3.1”). Performance is superb, even in relatively low
light conditions indoors or at dusk. |

Inner Focus System |
| |
The lens is equipped with an inner focusing
system, which prevents the front element from rotating making it particularly
suitable for petal shaped hoods and circular polarizing filters. |

Zoom Lock |
| |
The lens is also equipped with a zoom lock
that eliminates "zoom creep" during transit. |
