Control of focus, aperture, and zoom is intuitive thanks to the throw of each 0.8 MOD gear. Markings on the lens are available in both feet and meters. The lens has a 107° field of view at the wide end and a 71.6° field of view at the telephoto end with a 43.2mm image circle. An included EF bayonet adapts the native PL mount for compatibility with a broader range of cameras, while a 77mm front filter thread allows you to attach compatible lens filters.
