Focusing

The MILTOL 400mm F8 lens exclusively offers manual focusing using a wide, excellently gripped focus ring on the lens body. With a smooth rotation range of 270o, the focusing process is efficient despite the long focal length, ensuring seamless adjustments from near to far, even in low-temperature environments.
