ROKINON 135mm ED UMC Telephoto Lens For Canon Digital Camera Instruction Manual
We believe that this new 135mm F2.0 ED UMC lens will give you a special photographic experience.
The 135m F2.0 ED UMC lens completes an optical system based on superior optical technologies, and maintains excellent resolution by adopting a high refractive low dispersive lens and an UMC (Ultra Multi Coating).
Advantages of the 135mm F2.0 ED UMC
- 35mm full frame image size.
- It compensates for aberrations by using a high refractive low dispersive lens and high class optical glass, and at the fully opened position, produces a high resolution and a high contrast at the center of the lens as well as around the periphery.
- Allows precision focus control with smooth operation.
- Coating design by controlling ghosting as much as possible and reproducing vivid color images.
- Produces smooth focusing by means of the aperture design, which comes close to a circular shape with its 9 diaphragm blades.
- Easy to use it for shooting animals, still life and close shot with its shortest shooting distance of 0.8m, despite of its angle of view of 18°.
The 135mm F2.0 ED UMC lens for photo shooting is designed with its own mount. You can mount the lens directly onto the camera without using an additional adaptor. Read this manual carefully to familiarize yourself with your lens for correct use. * Please read the ‘Safety Precautions’ at the back of this instruction manual prior to use.
