- Telephoto macro lens with life size (1x) magnification
- 3 UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) elements correct aberrations and deliver excellent definition and sharpness
- Ring type USM delivers high speed and silent AF
- Ideal for nature and wildlife photography when the subject is more distant

A telephoto macro lens with a maximum magnification of 1x. Life-size close-ups can be taken from a farther distance without disturbing the subject (insects, etc.). The internal floating system minimizes fluctuations in aberrations caused by changes in the focusing distance. The delineation is therefore razor-sharp from 1x to infinity.
