That’s why the lens has a carefully optimised arrangement of two UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements. The UED elements offer even lower dispersion than ED elements, delivering performance close to that of fluorite. This combination effectively corrects axial chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp, high-contrast results.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bolded\"\u003eS 100-500 F5-7.1 MTF chart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOffering outstanding sharpness and resolution throughout the entire zoom range, this lens delivers uncompromising image quality.

Normally, the correction angle decreases as the focal length increases, but Dual I.S. makes it possible to compensate for camera shake even in the telephoto range. Whether shooting handheld at telephoto or using slow shutter speeds, you can shoot confidently without worrying about hand-shake blur.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bolded\"\u003eEasy to carry, ready for the field\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWith a 500mm reach packed into a body approximately 196.1mm in length and weighing around 1,285g, this ultra-telephoto zoom lens is ready wherever the action takes you.
