No matter how far your subject, the 8X magnification of this lens (compared to the normal 50mm) brings it up close with sharp, crisp details. Top quality optics, relatively high speed and extremely light weight make it ideal for the naturalist and sports photographer.

A highly versatile ultratele ideal for sports, wild life, candid photography and creative imagery. Its usefulness is enhanced by its light weight of 900g which makes it easy to hand hold. This high resolution optic is capable of meeting the most stringent demands of the professional photographer. However, for optimum results bear in mind the secret of successful telephotography is to use a sufficiently high shutter speed when handholding a lens. Thus, when handholding the 400mm lens the minimum shutter speed used should be 1/500 sec. since it is the shutter speed which most closely matches the focal length (400mm).

Another secret of successful telephotography is to utilize contrast filters (yellow, orange, and red) while slightly under-exposing (about 1/2 stop) to add contrast when using black and white films; this is especially true when the lens is focused at infinity.
