Capturing a classic concerto of light and shadow begins with the lens. The XCD 28mm f/4 P adopts an optical structure of nine elements in eight groups, including two aspherical elements and one ED element, which ensures excellent imaging while effectively suppressing chromatic dispersion. This wide-angle lens has a 22mm full-frame equivalent focal length and an f/4 aperture that makes it easy to capture nature, street culture, and urban architecture.
With a thoughtfully crafted design, the lens has a compact size and a powerful performance to meet the resolution requirements of 100 million pixels. The lens yields sharp images with precision and high resolution from the centre to the edges, achieving stunning image quality across the entire image area. It offers a 3.5" minimum focusing distance and 1:6 magnification ratio, rich close-ups of flowers, cuisine, and much more are effortlessly captured.
A linear stepping motor is combined with a lighter, smaller focusing lens group in this compact lens. When used with the PDAF technology of the X2D 100C, the lens can quickly reach the focusing position and achieve a precise stop. This results in fast, accurate, and responsive focusing, so your scene is captured before the click of the shutter. Full-time manual focus override is also available.
A compact yet powerful leaf shutter supports shooting with flash synchronization at all shutter speeds and with a maximum flash synch speed of up to 1/4000s. Shoot with flash in strong sunlight to capture dynamic subject juxtaposition, highlighting your subject while darkening the background.
