MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm F2 Aspherical

Macro lens with apochromatic design

Features

This is a large maximum aperture macro lens with an apochromatic design to reduce the axial chromatic aberrations of RGB, which comprise the three primary colors of light, to practically zero. Providing the enjoyment of very blurred bokeh and sharp imaging performance from maximum aperture, this lens draws its subject with outstanding image quality from minimum focusing distance to infinity.

Main Features

For Sony E-mount

The lens has electronic contacts to ensure that lens usage data is included in the Exif data of captured images. Furthermore, the built-in distance encoder enables support for 5-axis image stabilization on the body side. Other features include being able to magnify the finder display by operating the focus ring.

Optimized optical design

Provides an imaging circle that covers the 35 mm full frame format and utilizes an optical design optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. High resolution is maintained up to the image periphery and color shifts are well controlled.

Apochromatic design

Axial magnification chromatic aberrations are extremely well controlled to ensure compatibility modern high pixel count digital sensors.

Floating mechanism employed

The lens employs a floating mechanism that independently moves a lens group according to the focus distance to ensure reliable imaging quality for subjects at the minimum focus distance of 31cm (reproduction ratio of 1:2) through to infinity.

Manual focus for reliable focusing

Employs a very precisely machined and adjusted all metal helicoid unit lubricated with high quality grease to realize smooth focusing operation with just the right amount of torque. This enables very precise focusing.
