With Z TELECONVERTER TC-1.4x, extended focal length range to 1,176mm[1]. Even when focusing on distant, or even infinitely distant objects, the image is still sharp and clear, which is crucial for capturing distant motion and capturing the fiery atmosphere of a racing car or racetrack!
Weighing only about 3,260g, this lens is 550g lighter than its F-mount counterpart, and at 437mm in length, it’s more than enough to fit in a camera backpack, so it’s more than enough to keep you moving around the world! Moreover, the lens is easy to hold, even if you are running around all day, you can shoot everything with confidence – the center of gravity of the lens body is located in the center of the tripod ring, and the positioning is well thought out, which can shorten the distance with the photographer, and make the weight distribution and operation performance better Ideal, the shooting experience is extremely stable, whether it is handheld shooting or panning on a monopod, it is easy to do.

In addition to capturing images with exceptional resolution, the autofocus (AF) drive motor makes better use of the optical ABS (absolute value) encoder—a feature that acts like an ultra-accurate ruler, accurately detecting and measuring changes in the position of the focusing lens group About 20 times faster; with Silky Swift Voice Coil Motor (SSVCM)[3]the speed and accuracy are further improved, and the lens operation is almost silent, and the response is sensitive and quick at the decisive moment.
Video recording also benefits from Silky Swift VCM’s AF drive technology, which ensures quiet system operation in the silent shooting scene. In fact, the lens design also takes video recording into consideration, effectively counteracting the focal length shift phenomenon, and the aperture control is smooth and the exposure effect is more stable.
