SP AF180mm F/3.5 Di LD (IF) 1:1 Macro
Model B01

Di - for use on both film and digital SLRsSP - Special PerformanceLD - Low DispersionIF - Internal Focusing

This lens employs an IF (Internal Focusing) system that maintains the overall length of the lens during focusing. Two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements effectively compensate for chromatic aberration. High-contrast, outstanding image quality is combined with a soft out-of-focus background effect. An AF/MF one-touch switchover mechanism is built into the focus ring (Canon & Nikon mounts). The SP (super-performance) label designates high performance through outstanding design specifications.

FEC (Filter Effect Control)
The new FEC (Filter Effect Control) function enhances operational ease of use of polarising filters. It allows rotation of the filter to the desired position while the hood is attached: turning the FEC ring in turn rotates the filter mount.
