feature a 1.4x teleconverter built in . The teleconverter , which extends the range of this already
extreme zoom lens will give a 252-560mm eqv field of view on a FX system or 378-840mm on a

The lens features 27 elements in 19 groups (8 ED , 1 FL , and fluorine coatings on the elements) .
The lens barrel - made out of a magnesium alloy will give the lens a total weight of 3.5Kg . Pricing
