Specifically designed for macro photography, this lens has a 9.4" minimum focusing distance along with a 1:1 to 5:1 magnification range for life-size or greater rendering. This lens does not offer infinity focus.
Manual focus operation for precise control over focusing distance when working with close-up subjects.
Floating elements system helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range.
One ultra-low dispersion (UD) element greatly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy.
Super Spectra coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.
Six-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality when using shallow depth of field.
Removable rotating tripod collar is included and benefits working with the lens atop a tripod or monopod.
Front ring of the lens supports direct mounting of an optional Macro Twin Lite or Macro Ring Lite and the lens has electric contacts for full-support of the E-TTL II flash system and for relaying accurate focus distance information.
