Manufacturer description #2

The Macro C 80mm f/4N lens is designed to provide a high resolving power not only in ordinary picture taking but particularly in close-up photograph and copying.

You can focus up to 1/2 life-size with this lens without using an accessory. By applying the optional Auto Macro Spacer which is especially designed for this Macro C 80mm f/4N lens, however, you can go up to life-size from 1/2 life-size magnification. The Macro Space is coupled to the automatic diaphragm mechanism so that you can take pictures in exactly the same way as you would with a standard lens.

The lens contains a built-in floating system which is designed to automatically compensate for increasing typical aberrations with close focusing distances to obtain sharp resolution down to the edges of the pictures. In this floating system, a portion of lens elements moves back and forth in accordance with the photographing distance to obtain the optimum lens performance.

Although this lens does not feature a hood, it provides a sufficient hood effect. Nevertheless, if it is absolutely necessary to use a hood, you can use one which is designed for 80mm f/1.9N lenses (67mm screw-in type).
