Macro Lenses

Covering field of view to 600mm (35mm equivalent), this high mobility super-telephoto zoom lens weighs only 620 grams. Also, this lens incorporates three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements to offer sharper, higher-contrast imaging performance.Furthermore, 1x magnification (35mm equivalent) tele-macro photography is capable. Thanks to Four-Thirds system, the lens offers a lot of the footwork out of both super-telephoto and macro photography world.

The Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm Macro f2.8 magnification lens has a fully automatic diaphragm and a 47 degree angle of view. Its minimum focus distance of 0.6 feet lets you get up close and personal with your subject. It can be used with all Pentax SLR cameras, but the AF system only works with a Pentax AF camera. At just under 3 inches and weighing only 13.6 ounces, this lens can go with you anywhere. It comes with a protective case.

The Tokina AT-X 35mm f/2.8 PRO DX Macro Lens gives the same angle of view as a 52mm lens when used on digital SLR cameras. The close focusing distance of the M35 is an amazingly close 5.5 in. (14cm) yielding a macro ratio of 1:1 or life-sized reproduction with excellent sharpness. Its compact size makes it easy to carry almost everywhere and the wide f/2.8 aperture allows for easier viewing in low light situations. The front element of the AT-X M35 PRO DX has a newly formulated WP or "Water Proof" optical coating on the glass. This coating makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much easier to clean than standard multi-coating. Tokina's exclusive One-touch Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the photographer to switch between AF and MF simply by snapping the focus ring forward for AF and back toward the camera to focus manually. There is no second AF/MF switch on the lens for Canon, everything is accomplished by the focus ring. (This lens is designed for Digital cameras with APS-C sized CMOS and CCD sensors, not designed for cameras with Full Frame sensors.)

The AT-X 100 PRO D is a macro lens capable of life-sized (1:1) reproduction at 11.8-inch (30cm). The lens' multi-coating has been re-engineered to match the highly reflective silicon based CCD and CMOS sensors in today's digital SLR cameras. This lens gives the best of both worlds because optics still gives full coverage and excellent sharpness on 35mm film. The AT-X 100 PRO D is a macro lens that can handle both the digital and film worlds with ease.The AT-X 100 PRO D also has a very convenient focus limiter switch that can lock the focus out of the closes focus making it focus faster when used as a moderate telephoto lens that is excellent portraits as well.

This lens gives the Digital Photographer an ultra wide-angle zoom lens that has the equivalent of an 18-36mm zoom range on a 35mm
film camera while maintaining a bright constant aperture of f/4.

Non-rotating 77mm filter threads mean special effect filters will not change when the lens' focus is changed. Tokina recommends using HOYA PRO 1 Series low profile filters with the AT-X 124 PRO DX.

Fast internal focusing with Tokina's One-Touch focus clutch mechanism allows the lens to AF focus faster and switching between auto and manual focus is as easy as snapping the focus ring back and forth.
