This lens features a new shutter that allows for shutter speeds up to 1/2000s.
The HC zoom lens has a zoom range from wide-angle to short telephoto. This lens boasts exceptionally high image quality at all focal length settings, whether shooting film or digital, and is comparable with corresponding fixed focal length lenses.
A camera as fast and versatile as an H system model demands the very best from its lenses. All HC lenses are engineered to ensure optimal performance and image quality, whether using film or digital. No short-cuts, no compromises. All HC lenses have electronic shutter mechanisms and feature Multi Coating for efficient stray light elimination, an integral focus drive motor, and instant access to manual focus without switching between manual and auto focus. The HC lenses use metal, not plastic, wherever possible, in order to ensure their reliability and durability year after year. In addition, the special optical design of the lenses provides a uniquely soft, smooth quality to the blurred or out-of-focus areas of the image. All lenses use threaded filters and include lens shade and bayonet mount and can be reverse mounted for transport.
