Manufacturer description

The perfect lens for both portrait and macro photography. This lens has an internal focusing and floating element systems which provide the highest resolution and contrast from infinity to its minimum focus distance (1/2 life size). The internal focus system does not cause the lens to extend while focusing, thus it works well on SLR cameras with a built-in flash. Since the front element does not rotate when focusing, polarizing filters are also easily accommodated.

Notes

The autofocus will not be available with Nikon D40, D40X, D60, D3000-D3500, D5000-D5600 digital SLR cameras.
