This lens is ideal for anyone who wants to capture truly dynamic telephoto images far beyond the capabilities of the standard zoom. In photos of family fun, sport events, scenery, and portraiture, the longer focal length naturally creates a out-of-focus background that emphasises the main subject.

This general-purpose enthusiast telephoto lens is designed exclusively for APS-C digital SLR cameras. The versatile focal length of 200mm - equivalent to 310mm in 35mm format - is ideal for portraits, sports, landscapes, and even closeups that rival macro lenses with a minimum focus distance of 0.95m with a ratio of 1:3.5.

Its optical design is optimised especially for digital image sensors with LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements to compensate for axial and magnification chromatic aberrations. Internal surface coatings (multiple-layer coatings on the lens' cemented surfaces) prevent ghosting and flare as well as enhancing peripheral illumination.

This lightweight, compact lens gives even a beginner the means to easily capture beautiful and engaging photos.
