Leveraging a cutting-edge Phase Fresnel element, the lens achieves an impressive reduction in size and weight, making it under a foot long and less than half the weight of its predecessor. **Key Features:** 1. **Phase Fresnel Element:** The introduction of a Phase Fresnel element allows for an unparalleled reduction in size, making this lens two-thirds the length and less than half the weight of its predecessor. 2. **Handheld Carry:** Crafted for handheld use, the lens strikes a balance between comfort and clarity. The 95mm front thread enhances versatility by accommodating light-altering filters. 3. **Optical Excellence:** Extra-low dispersion elements and a short-wave refractive element work in tandem to minimize chromatic aberrations. The Nano Crystal Coating reduces flare, enhancing clarity, especially in challenging light conditions. 4. **VR Image Stabilization:** The built-in optical Vibration Reduction delivers up to 5.5 stops of image stabilization on all Z series cameras. For cameras supporting Synchro VR, an additional half-stop advantage is gained, equivalent to shooting at shutter speeds up to 6 stops faster. 5. **Body, Handling, and Ergonomics:** Beyond size reduction, the lens features thoughtful ergonomics and customizable controls: – The lens’ center of gravity is strategically shifted, aiding quick stops and accelerations during handheld panning. – Two programmable function buttons, a control ring, a Memory Set button, and a limiter switch offer precision control at your fingertips. – The front grip ensures a stable, comfortable shooting posture, and the tripod collar rotates smoothly for shooting in any orientation. 6. **Weather Sealing:** Advanced weather sealing safeguards the lens against dust, dirt, and moisture, ensuring safe usage in diverse environmental conditions. 7. **Security Slot:** A Kensington Security Slot adds a layer of protection against theft, allowing the use of optional pro-grade cable locks.
