This telephoto lens offers an impressive mix of features for maximum satisfaction of photographers in the field. Even at the longest focal length, you can enjoy quality usual for a short and fixed focus.
The XF telephoto lens with variable focal length is designed to satisfy the needs of demanding photographers who work mostly in natural terrain. The precise optical elements present the perfect way to capture the beauty of nature at a whole new level. The lens is ideal for capturing distant objects accurately and without image distortion. It is dustproof and waterproof, and can be used at temperatures all the way down to -10°C, so you can shoot without problems even in harsh weather conditions.
The most interesting moments in life are fleeting, and you usually don’t get much time to set up a tripod to capture them. The lens was therefore designed for handheld shooting, which is greatly helped by vibration compensation. The image stabilisation system is among the most powerful in any telephoto lens with a variable focal length. It allows you to capture photos with EV settings of up to 5 steps and also offers horizontal object tracking, reacting automatically by turning on vertical stabilisation only.
The powerful optics are made up of incredible 21 elements in 14 groups. Most important of these are the five ED lenses and one Super lens, which combine to minimise chromatic aberrations, which tend to be a big problem in telephoto lenses. This lens, however, provides the highest image quality in its class and you will be hard-pressed to find any flaws in the resulting images. Additionally, the fluorine coating increases durability and repels water and dirt. Dust and dirt are often unavoidable when doing nature photography, so the lens was designed to withstand the elements and to be easy to clean.
The autofocus works so quickly and smoothly that it can comfortably capture even fast moving objects, including planes or racecars. The dual linear motor is not only fast, but also very quiet, so you can use the lens in situations where you don't want to disturb anyone. Typical examples include musical or theatrical performances. The focus limiter switch can be set to 5m to provide even faster focusing performance.
