1.5x Ultra-Macro Magnification
Designed primarily as a macro lens, this telephoto touts an impressive 1.5:1 maximum magnification to render close-up subjects larger than life-size.
Minimum focusing distance of 11.8", along with a minimum working distance of 5.8", makes it easier to photograph moving subjects and offers more room to properly light your subjects.
Apochromatic Telephoto
Complementing the ability to render subjects at close range and with a high magnification, this lens also features an apochromatic optical design that limits color fringing and maintains high clarity and detail for accurate and dynamic imagery at both close-up and long-range focusing distances.
Useful 180mm focal length offers a narrow field of view that's suitable for portraits and distant subjects, as well as for homing in on small details from a comfortable working distance.
The f/4.5 maximum aperture strikes a balance between brightness and portability; the lens is bright enough for handheld shooting in daylight conditions while still remaining portable and lightweight for travel.
