| The performance of this rotating zoom lens
is quite comparable to that of first-class lenses with
fixed focal lengths. It offers good to very good imaging
quality with high resolving power and outstanding contrast
rendition - and this over the full image area and over
the entire focal length range. And it is quite compact
and rests comfortably in the palm of one's hand. Its extraordinary
near-focusing distance of only 1.1 m or 3'7 1 /4"
makes a smallest object field of 94 x 140 mm or 3 11 /16"
x 5 1 /2" possible. |
