Fast, precise autofocus and tracking

It's equipped with four XD Linear Motors, two for each focus group, which means you get faster and more precise autofocusing and tracking in any situation or type of action. This lens excels at high-performance environments, letting you capture powerful moments with ease.

Rear filter holder

Standard sheet-type ND, color correction, and other filters can be inserted into the lens's rear filter holder for expanded expressive capability. A cutting template for sheet filters is supplied.

Easy manual focus/autofocus switching

A focus mode switch that allows instant switching between auto and manual focus mode can be a great advantage when shooting subjects or situations that require fine manual focus adjustment.
