Elicar has announced that its V-HQ 300-600mm f/4.1-5.7 lens will become available over the following weeks for professional outdoor photographers.

Wildlife photography can tend to become a little expensive, but not due to the cameras involved. A lot of professional photographers choose to shoot with APS-C cameras, thanks to their crop factor which provides a bigger focal length, considering the 35mm equivalent. However, they will need super telephoto lenses, which allow them to stay a little farther from the subjects and not disturb the animals’ daily lives.

Elicar has a history of releasing “eccentric” lenses. The Japanese company has developed a lot of optics in this category, including the V-HQ 90mm 1.25X super macro lens, and it is about to take its story to the next level.
