Features
SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)
A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop response, and quiet, smooth operation.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass
Two precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations and deliver visually accurate results even at full telephoto zoom extension.
Focus Hold
Three Focus Hold buttons are provided, which lock the focus at the press of a button.
Focus-Range Limit
Two focus-range limit settings reduce auto-focusing time.
Circular Aperture
Because the aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.
Tripod Collar
The removable tripod collar rotates 360o so that the camera and lens can be orientated in any position when mounted from above or below.
