XCD 35-100E - FAQ
WHAT IS THE EQUIVALENT FOCAL LENGTH OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E LENS?
The equivalent focal length is 28-76mm.
WHAT IS THE OPTICAL STRUCTURE OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E LENS?
16 elements in 13 groups, including three aspherical elements and five ED elements.
HOW DO I CORRECT LENS DISTORTIONS?
X2D II 100C supports in-camera lens correction. For models before X2D II 100C, distortions can be corrected in Phocus or other image-processing software for more accurate optical effects.
WHAT IS THE FILTER DIAMETER OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E LENS?
XCD 2,8-4/35-100E adopts a filter thread with a diameter of 86mm, which supports installing all types of 86mm-diameter filters.
WHAT ARE THE CLOSE-UP CAPABILITIES OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E LENS?
Wide end: 0.4m, maximum image scale 1:8; Telephoto end: 0.5m, maximum image scale 1:4.
WHAT IS THE INGRESS PROTECTION RATING OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E LENS?
XCD 2,8-4/35-100E includes some sealing at the seams, but it is not rated for dust or water resistance. It is recommended to avoid using this lens in dusty or wet conditions.
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE THREE RINGS ON THE LENS?
They are the focus ring, zoom ring, and lens control ring.
WHAT ARE THE WEIGHT AND SIZE OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E LENS?

A stepping motor.
WHAT IS THE FOCUS TYPE OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E LENS?
Internal focusing.
WHAT IS A LEAF SHUTTER? HOW DOES IT WORK?
The leaf shutter is built into the lens structure. Its most significant advantage is that it can achieve flash synchronisation at all speeds (e.g., flash sync speed of up to 1/4000s). This helps capture fast-moving subjects when a flash is used and is also helpful for wide-aperture portraits in strong lighting conditions or outdoors. Due to the special design of the leaf shutter, it generates significantly reduced vibration when triggered, efficiently producing quality shots.
For cameras with a focal-plane shutter, when using flash, the shutter speed is usually limited to 1/125s or 1/250s, posing restrictions for creativity.
WHAT IS THE LEAF SHUTTER SPEED RANGE OF THE XCD 2,8-4/35-100E?
It supports shutter speeds from 1/4000s to 68 minutes.
