Usage

{{Infobox photographic lens
|name          = (REQUIRED) Lens name
|image         = An image to show in the infobox
|caption       = A caption for the image
|maker         = Who makes the lens (link)
|mount         = Lens mount(s) the lens is available in (link, if possible)
|part-number   = model code, MPN, EAN, etc.
|focusdrive    = Autofocus drive (e.g. screwdrive, stepper, ring-type ultrasonic motor)
|feat-usm      = (DEPRECATED, use |focusdrive = instead) Features Silent Motor technology
|feat-ws       = Lens is weather-sealed
|feat-mfo      = Manual focus override/full time manual focus
|feat-sbf      = (Canon EF and EF-S mount only; EF means no) Requires short back focus body
|feat-is       = Features built-in image stabilization technology
|feat-macro    = Macro focus capable (please use max-mag instead)
|feat-ar       = Lens has an aperture ring
|feat-special  = Special categorization e.g. diffractive optic, L-Series, etc.
|application   = Suggested application (e.g portrait, landscape, etc.)
|type          = Zoom, Prime or Special
|flength       = Actual focal length (range for a zoom lens)
|flength-eq    = Equivalent focal length, nominally for a 35 mm sensor size (range for a zoom lens)
(not relevant for systems with multiple sensor sizes)
|fov           = Field of view (given as a focal length multiplier) for default sensor size (deprecated, as this is a property of the camera, not the lens - use image-format instead)
|image-format  = Description of image format either by defining the [[image circle]] diameter or the image format (f.e. 24x36mm, full-frame, APS-C, etc.)
|aperture      = Maximum and minimum apertures (given in f-stops)
|elements      = Lens construction (# elements)
|groups        = Lens construction (# groups)
|diaphragm     = Number of diaphragm blades and type
|close-dist    = Close focusing distance (m/ft)
|max-dist      = Max. focusing distance (m/ft)
|max-mag       = Max. magnification
(1:10...1:2 for non-macro lenses, 1:2...1:1 for macro lenses, 1:1...5:1 for magnifier lenses)
|min-length    = Lens minimum length (mm/in)
|max-length    = Lens maximum length (mm/in)
|max-diameter  = Lens maximum diameter (mm/in)
|weight        = Lens weight without body, caps and pouch (kg/lbs)
|filter        = Filter diameter (mm), pitch and type
|color         = Color of lens housing (list, if several colors available)
|fw-initial    = initial lens firmware version when lens started shipment
|fw-latest     = latest lens firmware available
|fw-date       = release date of fw-latest or date of last update of entry, can be abbreviated to year
|fw-flashbyuser= Yes/no depending on if lens firmware is flashable by user, needs to be sent in to service or isn't flashable at all
|exif-lens-id  = Lens ID, as per Exif MakerNote data (if supported by lens)
|exif-lens-spec= Lens spec string, as per Exif MakerNote data (if supported by lens)
|hood          = Lens hood
|case          = Lens case or pouch
|av-horiz      = Angle of view (horizontal)
|av-vert       = Angle of view (vertical)
|av-diag       = Angle of view (diagonal)
|start         = Year the lens was introduced
|stop          = Year the lens was discontinued
|predecessor   = The lens that is the predecessor of this item (link)
|successor     = The lens that superseded this item (link)
|replace       = (DEPRECATED, use |successor = instead)
|msrp          = Manufacturer's suggested retail price (typically at initial shipment)
|msrp-currency = ISO 4217 currency code for msrp (USD, EUR, JPY etc.)
|msrp-date     = date of when msrp was issued, can be abbreviated to year
|references    = References supporting the infobox contents, e.g. link to manufacturer spec sheet

Microformat

The HTML mark-up produced by this template includes an hProduct microformat that makes a product's details readily parsable by computer programs. This aids tasks such as the cataloguing of articles and maintenance of databases. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please visit the Microformat WikiProject.

If the product has a URL, use {{URL}} to include it.

Classes used

The HTML classes of this microformat include:

• brand
• category
• description
• fn
• hproduct
• identifier
• listing
• photo
• price
• review
• type
• url
• value

Please do not rename or remove these classes
nor collapse nested elements which use them.
