Fluorine coating
When your lens gets wet, you need to clean it before taking the next shot. A fluorine coating helps you get rid of it quickly and cleanly. One wipe and it’s gone. No streaks or waterdrops left behind. You’ll wipe your lens quickly and more efficiently so you’ll get back to shooting faster.
It’s only small in size
Retracting Lens
The 40-150mm uses an advanced piece of technology that does two jobs: keeps the lens compact while giving you all the benefits of a powerful telephoto. An inner zoom construction keeps the length of the lens the same at all focal lengths even while using the zoom and the lens is extended. It’s the secret to keeping the lens portable to carry and enjoyable to use.
