Resolve Optics has announced a longer focal length version (24-144mm) of its Model 290 radiation resistant zoom lens
The range extended Model 290 lens enables users to image objects from 800mm to infinity without using add-on adapters.
When focused at infinity the lens achieves high image resolution on axis at full aperture throughout the zoom range without refocusing.
Operating at f/1.8, the extended range Model 290 provides high image resolution and minimum geometric distortion from 400-750 nm.
All optical elements within Resolve Optics non browning zoom lenses are made using cerium oxide doped glass or synthetic silica enabling them to withstand radiation exposure of up to 53 kGy (53,000,000 rads) and temperatures up to 55 degrees centigrade without discolouration.
