Description
The optical system of original AT-X 124 PRO DX won awards for its sharpness world-wide. This design was maintained in the AT-X 124 PRO DX II and improved with the introduction of new multi-coating system. The new multi-coating helps reduce reflections that can cause flare and ghosting even more than in the AT-X 124 PRO DX.
The AT-X 124 PRO DX II features the one-touch focus clutch mechanism. To use the one-touch focus clutch mechanism, move the focus ring forward, towards the front of the lens, for AF or back for MF. This allows for a fast and easy manual over-ride in difficult lighting situations.
Digital single lens reflex DX lens dedicated to digital SLR cameras with APS-C sized sensors.
The AF operates smoothly and quietly due to a DC motor that uses a new AF control gear assembly. With the built-in motor for Nikon mount, the lens can be used in AF mode with the latest Nikon DSLR cameras for significantly improved AF performance. The Canon version of the lens already has a built-in AF motor and will benefit from the improved multi-coating.
