SP AF17-35mm F/2.8-4 Di LD Aspherical [IF]

A super wide-angle zoom lens that provides extended focal length covering and an entirely new optical system for optimal performance with digital SLR cameras. When used with CCD or CMOS image sensors the 17mm-focal length can achieve a 35mm SLR equivalent of approximately 24mm, allowing photogra- phers to fully utilize its vast perspective and depth of field.

Ghost flare, common in backlit situations, is vastly reduced, enabling clear, high-definition photography. Image distortion, aspherical aberrations and other aberrations are corrected and eliminated through the use of a compound aspherical element. Moreover, color aberrations characteristic of wide-angle lenses have been diminished through the use of an LD element. Includes a lens hood. Filter Size is 77mm.
