Features:
f/3.5 Maximum Aperture
This lens offers an f/3.5 maximum aperture, but unlike most zoom lenses, it will perform nearly as brilliantly at f/3.5 as it will at friendlier apertures of f/5.6-11.0.
Minimum focusing distance of 7.9"
The focusing helicoid can extend far from the body on the Color-Skopar to allow a minimum focusing distance of just 7.9".
Inner Focusing (IF)
The lens features a rear-focus design (IF - inner focusing) so the front element does not rotate during focusing.
Manual Focus Design
Manual focus is beautiful. It's as smooth as silk, perfectly damped with no play.The manual focusing movement, aided by the knurled metal focusing ring, of the Color-Skopar is satisfying to operate and worlds apart in action from doing the same with autofocus lenses.
