Product details

A classic with excellent imaging performance. This lens telephoto lens is quite handy and lightweight despite its length of about 300 mm. The design, using only 5 lenses in 4 groups, allows for outstanding, color-accurate, and sharp images without disturbing field curvature. The relative aperture of 1:8.0 enables outdoor use, even for wildlife photography or detail shots in landscapes. The preset aperture feature allows you to set the desired aperture in advance; this can then be adjusted from the largest opening to the preset value with a quick turn of the finger. Advantage: maximum viewfinder brightness when focusing, and rapid selection of the preset aperture for photography or filming. The attached 360° rotatable tripod mount allows for balanced attachment to a tripod and switching between portrait and landscape orientation. The lens works in automatic exposure or manual mode with most cameras. For more details, refer to your camera's manual. T2 connection, operating tip: The T2 adapter is screwed onto the lens, and then the lens is locked in place. The side screws on the T2 adapter allow for "uprighting" the lens after loosening – aligning the index for infinity or the depth of field marks upwards. Tightening the screws securely fastens the lens and adapter. Save time in post-processing. Many lens errors such as distortion, edge softness, or vignetting occur in the outer areas of the image. When using a lens designed for full-frame on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not utilized. This way, you achieve maximum quality, eliminating the need for additional post-processing time to correct lens errors.
