About this item

• Renowned G lens background bokeh – Beautiful background bokeh is synonymous with the G Lens name, and it can really make the subject stand out.
• Image-wide clarity from macro to infinity – Macro lenses are often used over a wide range of focusing distances, so a floating focus mechanism has been implemented for optimum suppression of close-focus aberration.
• Precise, quiet focus for stills and movies – Two focus groups in a floating focus configuration are driven by an innovative DDSSM (Direct Drive Super Sonic wave Motor) system for smooth, precise positioning of the relatively heavy lenses that make full frame macro magnification possible.
• Sharp and clear without a tripod – Although a tripod is usually considered necessary for sharp macro photography, built-in OSS (Optical SteadyShot) image stabilization makes it possible to shoot sharp macro images handheld.
• Fast auto/manual focus switching – If you have to remove your eye from the viewfinder to switch between auto and manual focus you’re likely to lose the shot.
• Focus lock where you need it most – Pressing the focus hold button conveniently located on the lens barrel instantly locks focus at the current setting and keeps it there until the button is released.
• Select your focus range for faster AF – The Focus Range Limiter selector can be set for near and/or far focusing, depending on the subject, limiting focusing range and thereby maximizing autofocus speed.
