ARC
FORM
DRIVE
(AFD)
The
Arc
Form
Drive
is
a
small
but
powerful
electromagnetic
motor
used
in
most
EF
lenses
as
an
autofocus
actuator.
The
drive
unit
itself
is
arc-shaped
to
match
the
standard
cylindrical
configuration
of
a
camera
lens.
The
AFD
is
a
modified
Hall-type
brushless
stepping
motor,
which
means
that
it
possesses
ample
torque
and
extremely
good
start-stop
response
compared
to
rotary
focusing
motors
found
in
body-integral
AF
SLRs.
Also,
AFD
motors
have
superior
resistance
to
wear
and
can
be
manufactured
in
a
variety
of
sizes
to
custom-fit
the
needs
of
many
different
lens
types.
The
AFD
drive
shaft
rotates
at
speeds
from
6,000
to
12,000
rpm
and
transfers
its
power
through
a
set
of
reduction
gears
to
either
a
helicoid
or
cam
attached
to
the
focusing
component
of
the
lens.
During
AF
operation,
the
AFD
is
disconnected
from
the
lens's
manual
focusing
ring,
thus
preventing
unnecessary
resistance
even
if
the
photographer's
hand
is
touching
the
ring.
Changing
from
AF
to
manual
focusing
is
accomplished
with
a
simple
switch
on
the
lens.
ASPHERICAL
LENSES
Aspherical
(non-spherical)
surfaces
play
an
important
role
in
Canon
lenses.
They
provide
maximum
sharpness
at
all
apertures
because
they
can
focus
all
incoming
light
at
the
focal
plane
(a
theoretical
impossibility
with
spherical
lenses).
Another
important
benefit
of
aspherical
lens
elements
is
that
they
minimize
flare
(non-image
forming
l~ght
caused
by
internal
reflections),
particularly
with
high
speed
lenses.
A
third
benefit
is
that
often,
the
number
and
size
of
lens
elements
in
a
given
optical
formula
can
be
reduced.
As
a
result,
the
size
and
weight
of
aspherical
lenses
is
usually
less
than
the
equivalent
spherical
counterpart.
Aspherical
formulas
are
particularly
useful
with
short
to
medium
focal
lengths
and/or
wide
aperture
lenses.
There
are
10
aspherical
lenses
in
the
EF
line,
ranging
from
the
28mm
f/2.8
to
the
70-210mm
f/4.
Canon
uses
two
manufacturing
techniques
for
aspherical
lenses.
The
ground
and
polished
method
is
used
primarily
with
high
speed
or
pro£essional
L-Series
lenses
including
the
50mm
f/1.0L
and
the
85mm
f/1.2L.
The
other
method
is
called
glass
molding.
In
this
procedure,
an
unfinished
element
is
placed
in
a
special
aspherical
mold.
It
is
then
rapidly
heated,
pressed
into
the
mold,
cooled,
and
polished.
Both
methods
produce
top
quality
lenses.
However,
glass
molding
technology
is
currently
limited
to
lens
elements
with
diameters
of
40mm
or
less
and
is
most
suitable
for
high
volume
production.
The
ground
and
polished
method
can
accommodate
larger
diameters,
and
therefore
is
more
suitable
for
high
speed
professional
lenses.
