Technologies

APO (APO Lens)

In order to attain the highest quality images, the APO lens has been made using special low-dispersion (SLD) glass and is designed to minimize color aberration.

HSM (Hyper-Sonic Motor)

This lens uses a motor driven by ultrasonic waves to provide a quiet, highspeed AF.

IF (Inner Focus)

To ensure stability in focusing, this lens moves the inner lens group or groups without changing the lens' physical length.

Conv (APO Teleconverter EX)

This lens can be used with the APO Teleconverter EX. It can increase the focal length and will interface with the camera's AE (automatic exposure) function.

EX (EX Lens)

The exterior of this lens is EX-finished to denote the superior build and optical quality, and to enhance its appearance

DG (DG Lens)

These are large-aperture lenses with wide angles and short minimum focusing distances. With an abundance of peripheral illumination, they are ideal lenses for Digital SLR Cameras whilst retaining suitability for traditional 35mm SLRs.
