MACRO APO-LANTHAR 110mm F2.5

Lifesize macro lens with apochromatic design

Features

This is a 1:1 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. The lens employs a 3-group floating mechanism to ensure outstanding image quality from minimum focusing distance to infinity. Compared with longer telephoto lenses such as 135mm or 200mm, this lens with an angle of view that does not crop excessively is useful even in portrait photography.

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.

3-group floating mechanism employed

This lens employs a 3-group floating mechanism that independently moves each of the three lens groups in the floating mechanism according to the focus distance. This ensures reliable imaging quality for subjects at the minimum focus distance of 35cm (reproduction ratio of 1:1) 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.
