ZEISS PhotoFusion X Lenses in their respective colours are as dark or even darker than the previous generation ZEISS PhotoFusion, despite clearing up to 80% faster than before.4

PhotoFusion® X has two key improvements:

  • New improved, faster dye compounds (each less than 0.3 mm in diameter), need very little light energy to react.
  • The new speed-optimised carrier matrix (a more spacious resin) gives the molecules more freedom to quickly fold or unfold at their maximum level of performance.
