Key Features:
Super Compact and Light in Weight
Weight is always a burden to macro shooters, especially those who shoot at the field. This 85mm lens weighs only around 252g and small in size, which is very portable and handy for photographers. Light source can be easily applied when the lens is smaller.
Up to 2x Magnification
This new 85mm lens can focus infinity to 2x magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 6.4” (16.3cm). More details of the objects can be captured. In the meantime, it can serve as a portrait lens.
Apochromat APO design
The chromatic aberration (CA) at both in-focus & out-of-focus area (Longitudinal CA) is controlled to the minimal. The photos of less CA also avoid time-consuming post production.
Internal Focusing
The design of internal focusing avoids collision of the lens and the objects. It also prevents the dust or ashes from falling into the lens.
