| The 70-300mm offers a lightweight and compact zoom lens with macro capability that can now be
used with digital cameras. By flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm,
a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 95cm is obtained,
enabling close-up shots of objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens.
MAIN FEATURES
Internal Surface Coating to Reduce Ghosting and Flare - By employing “Internal Surface Coatings”
(i.e., multiple-layer coatings on cemented surfaces of plural elements) and new multiple-layer coating technology on ordinary elements, ghosting and flare due to reflections that occur when light enters
through the front element and reflections caused by the imagers themselves are reduced to the
absolute minimum. Moreover, upgraded advanced quality control has been implemented to raise the
level of resolution performance standards and prevent flare due to aberrations, which has resulted
in a high power zoom lens suitable for photography with digital SLR cameras. Perfect for Use with Both Digital and 35mm Film Cameras
Both lenses can be used on either Digial or 35mm film cameras
External Design Shared by All Di Lenses
The external design on both lenses uses a metal relief ring with a special process designation
on
the ring. The result is heightened visibility and a quality design. Additionally, the black coating
over
the entire lens barrel creates a high-quality, sophisticated look.
