The lenses are also equipped with three rings that make it possible to adjust focus, zoom, and iris (aperture) independently, and all of the operation rings have a uniform gear pitch*** of 0.8 M (module). The lenses are comfortable to operate as the focus rings are designed to rotate across a wide range of 200 degrees, which makes precise focusing possible. Although a resin material suited to miniaturization and weight reduction is used on the exterior, the material is given an external finish reminiscent of the high-quality texture of tools used by pros, making the lenses a pleasure to own.
