Manufacturer description

Producing sharp, crisp images, this telephoto delivers the "reach" required for sports and outdoor shooting. Can be used hand-held with relatively fast shutter speeds.

From the editor

A more compact and lighter version of the 200/4 model (hence the capital "C" in the lens name).
