For shooting on film, this is the industry standard at the 450mm end of zoom range.
Add to kit listCentering and tracking:
This is a big lens – 600mm long. Positioning of the elements and mechanical tracking must both be even more precise than in a shorter lens. Zooming moves are obviously very long but must stay centered. Sometimes we contact camera crews to get feedback on the equipment they just rented from us. A number of DPs have told us they´resurprised at how well a zoom lens this long stays on target all the way.
Heat and cold:
Because it´s physically long, we have also paid extra attention to metal expansion and contraction. Instead of the usual aluminum, our lens rear section is thin stainless steel. As a result, back focus shift is invisible, even in arctic cold and tropical heat.
