This superbly crafted lens offers the long-range telephoto power you need to capture distant sports, wildlife, and landscape subjects. Built to the meticulous standards of our G series lenses, it boasts a bright, F2.8 aperture that lets you use faster shutter speeds, and an 8.1º angle of view that lets you zero-in on an area 1/36th the size of the image area of a 50mm lens. With a minimum focusing distance of just 2.0m/78.7", you can even use it for portraits and close-ups.

Contrast and resolution are unparalleled, and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lens elements are incorporated to thoroughly correct chromatic aberration.The lens is also equipped with a responsive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) autofocus drive system for precise,quiet focusing, as well as a focus hold button, an electronic focus range limiter, and two DMF (Direct Manual Focus) modes: one that lets you fine-tune the focus manually after autofocus has been achieved, and one that lets you adjust the focus manually anytime.

McLAREN F1 LM ROADCAR



In 1995, the McLaren F1 GTR achieved its place in history by winning the Le Mans endurance race at the first attempt. Not only did the F1 GTR finish first, it also occupied 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th places when the flag came down after 24 gruelling hours.
To celebrate this extraordinary feat, McLaren Automotive created a limited edition of just five LM's - one for every F1 GTR which finished the race. Whilst the LM is a model in its own right, the concept was that it should be a 1995 F1 GTR, with the minimum modifications to make it usable on the road.
Thus the LM runs the most powerful engine of any F1, road or race, by using an 1995 GTR engine without the air restrictors. It also features the race car aerodynamics, gearbox and 18" inch wheels.
As a tribute to the memory of Bruce McLaren, all the F1 LM's were painted in the same Papaya Orange that was used on his contemporary Formula One and Can Am cars.
Inside the LM, the driver sits in an all carbon fibre race seat, and the passenger seats are moulded into the moncoque. With minimal trim, the interior carbon is beautifully finished in high gloss lacquer.
With 680 bhp and weighing some 60kg less than the F1 road car, the F1 LM is the fastest accelerating F1 of all.
