Six "F" Low Dispersion (FLD), two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, and five aspherical elements significantly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, the increased sagittal coma flare control delivers high resolution across the entire frame.
- In addition to superior optical performance, the five aspherical elements contribute to the lens's compact construction with their thin, highly polished design.
- The bright f/2.8 aperture and rounded 11-blade diaphragm create a large, beautiful bokeh effect.
- Super multi-layer and nano-porous coatings have been applied to the lens elements to minimize flare and ghosting and help produce images rich in contrast and neutral color, even in backlit conditions.
- The lens is also designed to suppress focus breathing as the viewing angle changes throughout the zoom range, creating naturally appearing focus pulls when recording video.
