Description
- Completely new optical design to enable Full Frame Coverage
- Well controlled optical performances at each focal length and focus distance by having a good balance between contrast and resolution–appealing cinematic look
- Superb image quality from open aperture, considered as “variable primes”
- Low distortion
- No ramping, minimal breathing, very fast for 12x zoom ratios
- Efficient use of aspherical elements to minimize colour fringing
- Very short MOD : 1.22m/4’ for the S35 version – 1.24m /4’1’’ for the U35 version – < 1.5m /5’ for the FF/VV version
- Completely newly designed mechanics vs. 24-290 & 28-340
- Improved mechanical stability, and serviceability
- Weight reduction of moving components
- Reduce dust inhale by improving air flow and adding dust traps
- Precise and ergonomic focus ring with scale rotation of 321 degrees, the largest in the industry and over 70 focus marks
- User changeable focus marking rings (focusing scales available in feet or metric)
- Mechanical components based on light-weight material with dedicated anti-abrasion coating
- Adapted to extreme shooting environments (passive athermalisation from -20°C to +40°C)
