    Dual Link Iris
    A dual Link Iris system makes it possible to choose silent or click aperture adjustment. Aperture settings can be changed in an instant

     

     

     

    Circular Aperture
    The construction of the aperture blades with 9 elements makes it possible that the diaphragm shows a circle at all f-stops, creating a more natural impression.

     

     

     

    Aluminium Alloy Body
    All internal parts are protected by a solid and rigid aluminium housing.The body feels reassuringly well made with good balance and weightiness in the hand and when attached to a camera body.
