Using a ring type USM (Ultrasonic Motor) and new AF algorithm to drive the high speed auto focus with ultra quiet operation. Full time mechanical manual focus override is also available without having to switch out of AF. The minimum focusing distance has been reduced to 1.2m allowing photographers to stand closer to the action. The lens is supplied as standard with the ET-87 lens hood to prevent glare affecting images, as well as a removable tripod mount and the LZ1326 soft case for easy transport.
