Faraway subjects come up close while compressing the distance between the main subject and the background for professional-looking results. Even while covering up to a 500mm – which enables ultra-telephoto shots of subjects further than the eye can see – its design is extremely lightweight and compact. When mounted on a digital SLR, it provides a much greater focal length equivalent – around 750mm – for super-ultra-telephoto imaging.
