Everything is designed to minimize the aberrations of various kinds, promising excellent performance on long focal length.
The minimum focusing distance is 90cm, while the weight settles on 854 grams. The used filters are the ones to 72mm, while it is also worth mentioning tropicalization, to withstand dust and splashing water, as well as optical stabilization.
