This state-of-the-art zoom lens is capable of rendering exceptional sharpness and contrast at all focal lengths. It uses Mamiya's own formulation of the most advanced high-density/low-dispersion optical glass. Each lens element is precisely polishedand utilizes Mamiya's proprietary multicoating process to increase light transmission, dramatically reduce flare, ensure crisp, clean whites and vibrant yet natural colors.
The Mamiya AF 55 - 110mm f/4.5 Zoom lens is ideally designed for a wide range of subjects from portraits to landscapes. The independent focus and zoom ring (straigh-helicoids) allows for best use of polarizing filters because the front elements do not rotate during zoom or focus actions.
Other convenient features include an easy-grip two-position manual/autofocus "clutch" on the lens barrel for fine manual focus adjustment via a quick pull on the lens' focusing ring. Conversely, a small forward push on the lens' focusing ring engages the autofocus again.
Mamiya uses eco-glass, which contains no lead or arsenic, maintaining the company's "Earth-friendly, Nature-friendly" policy.
Supplied with lens hood.
