Product Features

Unparalleled resolution and nudity. The best visual experience. Razor Macro from the Art line.

– The first macro lens in the Art line
The Art line’s concept of image quality-oriented is the top priority for this product, which uses an advance focusing system. It is designed with the achievement of high image quality as the first priority. The lens achieves an overwhelmingly high level of resolution and sharpness for a macro lens in the standard to mid-telephoto range. In addition, the adoption of a coreless DC motor and optimization of the algorithm enable smooth AF operation of heavy, high-performance lenses. This legendary macro lens, which has been highly acclaimed by many photography enthusiasts under the nickname razor macro, has now been further evolved and is now available in full Art line quality.

– Design concept that prioritizes image quality
The lens adopts a floating focus system that moves the two focus lens groups by different amounts. In addition to two FLD and two SLD glass elements, a glass element with a high refractive index and high anomalous partial dispersion is used to thoroughly correct chromatic aberration on axis. In addition, two aspherical lens elements are used to improve resolution near the minimum focusing distance. These features allow the photographer to enjoy the contrast between the razor-sharp in-focus area and the blur-free bokeh.

– By-wire system for optimal focus speed and focusing operation
The by-wire system eliminates the mechanical connection between the focus ring and the focus drive unit. A newly developed coreless DC motor is mounted and controlled by the latest algorithms to reduce drive noise and achieve optimum focusing speed. The large focus rotation angle also allows for delicate focusing control, which is essential for macro photography.

– Macro Flash Compatible
The optional 65mm Macro Flash Adapter is equipped with a 72mm thread on its inner diameter side, making it possible to mount a general-purpose 72mm macro flash or ring light by using the 72mm adapter.
