Overwhelmingly lightweight and compact super telephoto lens “SZ PRO”

  • Beautiful ring bokeh
    An optical design that achieves beautifully connected rings.
  • Uncompromising macro quality
    You can enjoy macro photography at a maximum magnification of 0.4x (1/2.5x), which is close to that of a macro lens.
  • The focus ring rotates 270°, which is close to the angle of rotation of a manual focus movie lens, allowing for precise focusing.
  • Three mounts available
    Developed for APS-C format mirrorless cameras. Three mounts are available: Sony E, Fuji X, and Canon EF-M.

*The focus is manual. Aperture priority AE (A) or (Av), or manual (M) is only supported.
* It is necessary to set “permission of release without lens” depending on the camera.

Super compact super telephoto lens

Although the lens barrel is made of metal, it is light enough to be carried around thanks to the use of aluminum and light alloys.
As a super telephoto lens that can be stored in a small camera bag, it can also be used for travel.

Macro photography up to 1:2.5x possible

By adopting a reflective optical system, it is overwhelmingly more resistant to close-up photography than general super-telephoto lenses, and enables macro photography with a maximum magnification of 1:2.5. It is also very convenient when taking close-up shots of insects or flowers from a distance.

Enjoy unreality with compression effects

The “compression effect” that is characteristic of super-telephoto lenses is that near objects and distant objects appear to overlap without any sense of perspective. There is also the pleasure of being able to take unrealistic pictures of ordinary city scenery.

Its lightweight and compact design makes it highly portable, so you can easily take it with you for a walk in the neighborhood or a hike.

Make travel and sightseeing more enjoyable

With a super-telephoto lens, you can zoom in and take clear shots of points that are not visible to the naked eye, such as a close-up shot of a part of the architecture of a tourist attraction.

Manual focus that realizes the photographer’s wishes

The focus ring can be rotated 270° for precise focusing.
In addition, you can use the place pin to create a solid composition when shooting trains or airplanes.

photograph animals and birds

It is also recommended for photographing wild birds. Even subjects that would otherwise run away when approached can be captured in a larger size from a distance.
