This makes it a perfect choice for sports coverage, nature documentaries, and other long-zoom field productions.

Despite its powerful performance, the lens maintains a compact form factor of only 16.3 inches in length and a lightweight design of just 14.6 lbs. This makes it easy to carry and use with major brands of single-sensor Super35mm cameras.

The lens also boasts an 11-blade iris, which helps achieve smooth "bokeh" backgrounds, and is compatible with lens-support rods, matte boxes, and other cinema accessories.
