Optimised for digital photography
The new multi layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance through the entire zoom range.

2pcs Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and 4pcs Aspherical Lenses, produce a high level of optical performance
The 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens features 2 Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and 4 Aspherical lenses to produce a high level of optical performance. Aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberration while making a very compact construction possible.

Macro photography with a 1:3 maximum magnification ratio
The 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm at all focal lengths and is equipped with a macro mechanism for close-up photography at 300mm telephoto. This allows for a reproduction ratio of 1:3.

Inner Focus System
This design allows for stability and compactness as changes in focus are made in an internal lens grouping. This also gives the advantage of a non rotating front lens assembly which is of great benefit when using polarizing filters and a petal-type hood.

The "Zoom Lock" device prevents the zoom setting from being changed inadvertently
28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens is equipped with a zoom lock to prevent the lens from creeping due to its own weight. This also offers protection whilst the lens is being carried.
